WARNING : A front-end loader (bucket or forks)
must be equipped with a suitable restraining
device to prevent the load, bales, fence posts,
rolls of fence, wires etc.) from rolling down the
lift arms into the operator's compartment and
crushing the driver when the loader is raised.
Inadequately secured objects could also fall
and injure bystanders. Do not use implements
for different purpose or to handle materials they
are not expected to . For the operation of front
loaders and relative safety rules, please refer to
the Operation Manual of the loader.
Threepoint hitch and side mounted implements make
a much larger arc when turning that towed equipment.
Make certain to maintain sufficient clearance for safe
turning.
When using attachments or implements with the
tractor, be sure to thoroughly read the Operator
Instruction Book for that attachment or implement and
follow its safety instructions.
Pull only from the approved drawbar. Towing or
attaching to other locations may cause the tractor to
overturn (Fig.2-29).
Improper use of the drawbar, even if correctly
positioned, may cause the tractor to overturn to the
back.
DO NOT overload an attachment or towed equipment
Use proper counterweights to maintain tractor stability.
Hitch loads to the drawbar only.
2.32 Road Transport
Before operating your tractor on a public road, a
number of precautions must be taken.
Familiarize yourself - and comply - with all local
bylaws, and national laws appropriate to your tractor.
Lock your brake pedals together.
Raise all implements to their transport position and
lock them in place.
Place all implements into their narrowest transport
configuration.
Disengage the PTO and differential lock.
Make sure tractor and equipment are equipped with
slow moving vehicle (SMV) signs or beacon if the law
requires them (Fig. 2-30 and 2-31) and that loads do
not obscure themor other lights.
Make sure any required clearance flags or hazard
lights are in place and in working order.
Make sure you use a proper hitch pin with a clip
retainer.
Clean off all reflectors and road lights, front and rear,
and be certain they are in working order.
Implements mounted on the 3-point hitch and
mounted implements projecting from the side need a
wider turn radius than trailed implements. Always be
sure to keep enough clearance when making a turn.
