► MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING IMPLEMENTS
(1)Ensure that all mounting and removal of implements is done on safe flat ground. Ensure no one
is between the Tractor and implement and do not get under the implement to avoid accidental injuries.
(2) After mounting the implement, ensure that all sway chains are correctly adjusted and, where
PTO shafts are used that the shaft is fitted and secured correctly.
(3) Where heavy implements are used, ensure that the combination is well balanced or use proper
ballast to achieve balance.
(4) Before leaving the tractor at any time, lower the implement, stop the PTO shaft where applicable,
set the parking brake and switch off the engine.
(5) While operating the implements with the PTO, keep all bystanders away from any moving parts
and do not attempt to make adjustments while the machine is running.
(6) Only the driver should ride on the Tractor with the ROPS frame fitted and with the seat belt properly
fastened.
(7) Where young children are present, particular care should be taken and the tractor should not be moved
until the whereabouts of all children is known.
(8) Only trained operators should operate the Tractor and so taking care to ensure that other workers are not
injured. In particular they should take care during dusty operations, which will reduce visibility
substantially.
(9) Never start the tractor unless the transmission is out of gear, the operator is in the seat and all round
safety has been checked.
(10) Only operate the tractor seated in the drivers seat and never turn or brake suddenly at high speed as
this can cause a roll-over and serious injury or death.
(11) When traveling on a public road ensure that the tractor and driver both meet all laws relating to safety
legal including escort requirements.
(12) When operating under adverse conditions, hilly terrain or on bad ground adjust the speed of the
tractor to suit the conditions, safety comes first. Never drive down hill at high speed or with the
transmission in neutral. Use of the braking capacity of the engine as well as the service brakes.
Do not try to change gear going up or down a steep slope, select the correct gear before starting.
(13) Take care when traveling uphill with a heavy implement to ensure that it does not overbalance and tip
up the front end.
(14) Never remove or modify the seat belt.
(15) Never remove, modify or repair the ROPS frame.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA CARE CAN PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH AND AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR TRACTOR.
