SAFETY NOTES
2.23 Follow recommended starting
procedures
Follow the starting procedures recommended in the
operation section of this Operator instruction Book.
This includes normal starting, cold starting and use of
starting fluids.
Test the controls
After starting, recheck all gauges and lights. Make
sure everything is functioning correctly. If the tractor
does not respond correctly which each control is
operated, DO NOT use the machine until the fault is
rectified
Ensure that the starter solenoid cover is always in
position.
Starting fluid
WARNING : It is very important that you read the
label on the can before using starting fluid. DO
NOT use aerosol can of starting aid on tractors
with the thermostat connected to the electrical
system. Ether combined with thermostat can
cause an explosion with damage to engine,
personal injury or both. (fig 2-11)
Handle starting fluid correctly. Starting fluid must only
be used when an ether start aid is fitted as original
equipment by the manufacturer or when installed by
a Dealer as an accessory, in case of tractors being
fitted with glow plugs or thermostat ,this must be
removed prior to the installation.
If aerosol cans of starting fluid are to be used the
thermostat must be disconnected. Remove the wire
from the thermostat unit which will be found on the
induction manifold. Tape the end of wire to prevent an
electrical short circuit.
Before starting the tractor, ensure that no persons or
hindrances are present in its range (fig.2-12).
2.24 Safety: Work Safety
WARNING : An unbalanced tractor could overturn
and cause injury or death. Make sure front frame
counterweights, wheel weights and wheel ballast
are used as recommended by the manufacturer.
NEVER add extra counter weights to compensate
for an overload, better to reduce the load.
WARNING : Keep all parts of your body inside the
operator's compartment while operating the tractor.
2.25 Make the right moves
Make sure your tractor is ready for the job it must do.
Know the rated load capacities of your tractor and never
exceed them. Be certain that any equipment or implements
you intend to use DO NOT exceed the load rating of
your tractor. Be sure the tractor and implement PTO rev/min
match.
Keep in mind that tractors normally operate on uneven,
unpaved, and often bumpy or sloping surfaces. Operating
