1.
If you operate the engine inside a closed build-
ing. be sure there
is
plenty of ventilation before
starting the engine. Exhaust fumes are poison-
ous. Especially carbon monoxide which
is
odorless and colorless. You can easily be
overcome without realizing
it.
While warming up the tractor, always attend the
tractor and set the parking brake securely.
2.
Start engine only from operator's seat. Do not
start engine while standing on ground.
3.
Do not start engine by shorting across starter
terminals. Tractor will
start in gear and move if
normal starting circuit is bypassed.
4.
Use
approved rollover protective structure
(ROPS) and seat belt. Overturning
a
tractor
without ROPS can result in death or injury.
Always adjust seat belt length to operator's
physique and tighten seat belt securely when
ROPS
is
installed. Not using the seat belt on a
tractor equipped with ROPS may result in death
or injury when tractor overturns.
Do not use seat belt if ROPS is removed from
the tractor.
5.
Do not allow tractor to coast downhill with
clutch disengaged, or with gear
in
neutral.
6.
When operating the tractor on slopes, set wheel
tread as wide as possible for maximum stability,
reduce engine speed and avoid hard application
of brakes and sharp turns.
Stay off hills and slopes which are too steep.
