SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(1) Ensure that all mounting and removal of
implements is done on safe at ground.
Ensure no one is between the Tractor and
implement and do not get under the imple-
ment 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
tted 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 tted and with the
seat belt properly fastened.
(7) Where young children are present, partic-
ular care should be taken and the tractor
should not be moved until the where-
abouts 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 partic-
ular they should take care during dusty
operations, which will reduce visibility
substantially.
(9) Never start the tractor unless the trans-
mission 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 sud-
denly 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 and licensing.
When traveling with wide implements
use red ags on the extremities and ob-
serve all legal including escort require-
ments.
(12) When operating under adverse condi-
tions, hilly terrain or on bad ground ad-
just the speed of the tractor to suit the
conditions, safety comes rst. Never
drive down hill at high speed or with the
transmission in neutral. Use of the brak-
ing 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 LIT-
TLE BIT OF EXTRA CARE CAN
PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH AND AVOID DAMAGE
TO YOUR TRACTOR.
