11.Tractor wheels are very heavy. Handle with care and ensure, when stored, they cannot fall and cause injury.

12.Dispose of all drained fluids and removed filters properly. Follow local laws governing disposal of used engine oil.

13.Never oil, grease or adjust the tractor while it is running. Do not leave the engine running while the tractor or drawn equipment is being adjusted, repaired or cleaned.

14.Be sure all connections are tight and lines and hoses are undamaged. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, relieve all pressure. Do not overfill the hydraulic tank.

15.Do not smoke and avoid open flames if servicing any batteries.

16.Starting fluid is highly flammable. Do not use near fire, sparks, or open flames.

17.Remove mud, crop residue, chains and tools from steps and operator’s platform. They may interfere with pedal operation or entry/exit from the tractor.

18.Never operate with a damaged tire. The tire may explode.

19.Tighten all connections before starting the engine or pressurizing lines.

DIESEL FUEL

1.Under no circumstances should gasoline, alcohol or blended fuels be added to diesel fuel. These combinations can create an increased fire or explosive hazard. In a closed container, such as a fuel tank, these blends are more explosive than pure gasoline. Do not use these blends.

2.Do not smoke while refueling the tractor or when standing near fuel. Keep any type of open flame away.

3.Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the engine running. Allow the tractor to cool off before fueling.

4.Use the proper fuel transfer hose and nozzle. Make sure the nozzle and hose are grounded to dissipate static electric charges.

5.When refueling, make sure the nozzle is in contact with the filler neck of the tractor fuel tank before fuel starts to flow and during the entire time fuel is flowing.

6.Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle when filling the tank.

7.Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for expansion.

8.Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.

9.Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.

10.If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with a genuine replacement cap. A non-approved cap may not be safe.

11.Keep equipment clean and properly maintained.

12.Do not drive equipment near open fires.

13.Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.

14.Arrange fuel purchases so that summer grade fuels are not held over and used in the winter.

15.Ground fuel storage tanks to prevent static buildup.
