Section 1 - Safety
Precautionary Statements
14.Pull only from the 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.
15.Be sure hydraulic couplers are properly mounted and will disconnect safely in case of accidental detachment of the implement.
16.Do not leave equipment in the raised position when the vehicle is stopped or unattended.
17.Ensure any attached equipment or accessories are approved for use and are correctly installed. Maintained in accordance with the instructions issued by the equipment or accessory manufacturer.
18.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 whichisunsafe,notdesignedfortheparticulartask, or is poorly maintained.
19.The cab is designed to meet and exceed the applicable noise level standards (86dBA).
However, | noise | (sound | pressure | level) | |
in the | workplace | can | exceed | this | level |
when the | cab window is | open. | Therefore, it | ||
is recommended that the operators wear suitable ear protectors when operating in high noise level conditions.
20.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.
21.Use steps and hand holds when mounting and dismounting the tractor or for servicing components too high to reach from the ground.
22.Lock the seat in position and buckle your safety belt before operating the tractor.
23.Do not operate the tractor when you are tired, sick, or impaired in any way.
24.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.
25.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.
26.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.
27.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.
28.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.
