SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

12
▶ TRANSPORT TRACTOR BY
TRUCK
Always secure the tractor to the loader
bed with chains.
Before transporting the tractor on a low
loader or on a railway wagon, make
sure that the engine hood, doors,
openable roof (if present) and windows
are all closed and securely fastened.
Never tow the tractor at speeds in
excess of 10km/h.
An operator must stay in the operator
position to steer and brake the tractor.
▶ TOWING SAFELY
For the maximum towable loads, refer
to the ‘TIRE AND MASS’ section in
appendix chapter if available.
Maintain a suitable speed taking into
account the weight of the trailed load
and the gradient, remembering that
braking distances will be greater than
with just the tractor.
Trailed loads with or without brakes
that are too heavy for the tractor or that
towed at too high speed may cause the
operator to loose of control of the
tractor.
Always take into consideration the total
weight of the implements and their
loads.
Before you leave the driving seat when a
trailers is hitched to the tractor,
remember to put all the controls in
neutral, apply the parking brake, switch
off the engine, engage first gear (if the
tractor has a mechanical transmission)
and remove the key from the starter
switch.
If the tractor is not parked on level
ground, always place chocks under the
wheels of both the tractor and the
trailer.
