8.Do not operate the tractor engine in an enclosed building without adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes can cause death.
9.The cab air filter is designed to remove dust from the air but will not exclude chemical vapor. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s directions regarding protection from dangerous chemicals.
10.Always wear a protective mask when working with toxic spray chemicals. Follow the directions on the chemical container.
11.If the power steering or engine ceases to operate, stop the tractor immediately as the tractor will be more difficult to control.
12.Stop the engine and relieve pressure before connecting or disconnecting hydraulic, steering, water, or fuel lines.
13.Pull only from the swinging drawbar. Use only a drawbar pin that locks in place. Pulling from the tractor rear axle or any point above the axle may cause the tractor to overturn.
14.Be sure hydraulic couplers are properly mounted and will disconnect safely in case of accidental detachment of the implement.
15.Do not leave equipment in the raised position when the vehicle is stopped or unattended.
16.Ensure any attached equipment or accessories are correctly installed, are approved for use with the tractor, do not overload the tractor and are operated and maintained in accordance with the instructions issued by the equipment or accessory manufacturer.
17.Remember that your tractor, if abused or incorrectly used, can be dangerous and become a hazard both to the operator and to bystanders. Do not overload or operate with attached equipment which is unsafe, not designed for the particular task, or is poorly maintained.
18.The cab is designed to provide the minimum noise level at the operator’s ears and, in fact, meets or exceeds applicable standards in this respect.
However, noise (sound pressure level) in the workplace can exceed 86dB(A) when the cab windows are open. Therefore, it is recommended that the operators wear suitable ear protectors when operating in high noise level conditions.
19.Always keep sleeves, jackets or other clothing relatively tight and belted. Loose clothing may catch in moving parts and result in personal injury or death.
20.Use steps and handholds when mounting and dismounting the tractor or for servicing components too high to reach from the ground.
21.Lock the seat in position and buckle your safety belt before operating the tractor.
22.Do not operate the tractor when you are tired, sick, or impaired in any way.
23.Never operate the tractor in confined areas, or when visibility next to the tractor is reduced. Injury to bystanders or damage to the tractor or equipment may result.
24.When hitching drawn equipment to the drawbar, only allow an assistant between the tractor and implement if the tractor is off, in neutral and the brakes are engaged.
25.Do not leave implements with the hydraulic cylinders fully extended or retracted where the heat from the sun can cause the hydraulic fluid to expand. Hydraulic pressure can rupture the hoses, releasing high pressure oil causing personal injury.
26.Be careful when turning with an implement. Lift it from the ground if possible during turns. Side thrust caused by the implement could damage the tire and implement.
27.Use transport locks, lower the implement to the ground and securely block the frame before servicing the implement. Relieve pressure from the hydraulic system and shut off the tractor.
