B 1. Safety rules
This section summarizes the regulations which must
always be followed when working with the tractor.
However, these regulations do not exempt the driver from
following statutory and other national regulation as
regards traffic safety and occupational health and safety.
Safety regulations applicable for different types of working
sites and existing road traffic laws must always be
followed.
When designing the tractor priority was given to the safety
of the operator. Steps and handles have been placed with
ease of entry into the cab in mind. The tractor has several
safety features eg: guards for belts and pulleys etc.

CE---marking above means that this tractor meets
standards of EMC directives.
1 Brakes --- Always check that the brakes are
operating correctly before setting off. The brake
pedals should be locked together when driving on the
road. The brakes should be adjusted as necessary.
Extensive repairs to the braking system should be
undertaken only by Valtra approved service personnel.
When implements or ballast weights are front end
mounted the rear axle loading is decreased:
---In these circumstances the driver should check that
the rear brakes are still effective.
---When needed use opposite ballast weights at rear.
---On the 4WD models keep the 4WD engaged at least
on the slippery ground as then the front wheels are
braking.
2 Children and tractor --- Never allow children in the
cab or near the tractor or attached implement while
the engine is running. Always lower the implement to
the ground when leaving the tractor.
