SAFETY NOTES
PREVENT ACID BURNS
If you spill acid on yourself, immediately flush your skin with water and flush
your eyes for 10-15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is strong enough to burn skin,
cause holes in clothing and cause blindness. For adequate safety always:
1. Fill batteries in a well-ventilated area.
2. Wear eye protection and acid proof hand gloves.
3. Avoid breathing direct fumes when electrolyte is added.
4. Do not add water to electrolyte as it may splash off causing severe burns.
HANDLE FUEL SAFELY-AVOID FIRES
Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable. Do not refuel the tractor while
smoking or near open flame or sparks.
Always keep your tractor clean of accumulated grease and debris.
Always clean up spilled fuel.
Always stop engine before refueling.
SERVICE TRACTOR SAFELY
Remove rings and other jewelry to prevent electrical shorts and entanglement
in moving parts.
Do not wear a necktie, scarf or loose clothing when you work near moving parts.
If these items get caught, severe injury could result.
STAY CLEAR OF ROTATING SHAFTS
GENERAL OPERATING HAZARDS
Keep PTO shield in place at all times.
Entanglement in rotating shaft can cause serious injury or death.
Wear close fitting clothing. Stop the engine and to sure PTO drive is stopped
before making adjustments, connections, or cleaning out PTO driven
equipment.
Ÿ Improper use of the drawbar, even if correctly positioned, may cause the
tractor to overturn to the back.
Ÿ Three point hitch and side mounted implements make a much larger arc
when turning that towed equipment. Make certain to maintain sufficient
clearance for safe turning.
Ÿ 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.
Ÿ Pull only from the approved drawbar. Towing or attaching to other locations
may cause the tractor to overturn.
Ÿ DO NOT overload an attachment or towed equipment. Use proper
counterweights to maintain tractor stability. Hitch loads to the drawbar only.
