SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Ensure that all mounting and re-
moval of implements is done on
safe flat 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, en-
sure that all sway chains are cor-
rectly adjusted and, where PTO
shafts are used that the shaft is
fitted and secured correctly.
3. Where heavy implements are
used, ensure that the combina-
tion is well balanced or use prop-
er 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.
MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING IMPLEMENTS
6. Only the driver should ride on
th e tractor wit h the ROPS
frame fitted and with the seat
belt properly fastened.
7. Where young children are pres-
ent, 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 work-
ers are not injured. In particu-
lar they should take care during
dusty operations, which will re-
duce 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 seat-
ed in the drivers seat and nev-
er 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 driv-
er both meet all laws relating to
safety and licensing. When trav-
eling with wide implements use
red flags on the extremities and
observe all legal including es-
cort requirements.
12. When operating under adverse
conditions, hilly terrain or on
bad ground adjust the speed
of the tractor to suit the condi-
tions, safety comes first. Nev-
er drive down hill at high speed
or with the transmission in neu-
tral. Use of the braking capacity
of the engine as well as the ser-
vice 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 en-
sure that it does not overbal-
ance and tip up the front end.
