1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Ex2900 / 3200 Operator's Manual
1. Before getting off the tractor, connecting/
disconnecting an implement, adjusting, cleaning
or servicing a Power Take Off (PTO)-driven
implement, make sure that all the moving
components are at a standstill.
2. Ensure that the Power Take Off (PTO) shaft
cover is always in place. Replace the Power Take
Off (PTO) shaft cap only when the shaft is at a
standstill.
3. Before installing or operating Power Take Off
(PTO)-driven implement, carefully study the
manufacturer’s operator’s manual and the safety
decals on the implement.
4. When installing stationary Power Take Off (PTO)-
drive implements, be sure to engage the parking
brake securely and securely place chocks in front
and behind the rear wheels. Do not approach or
access any rotating component.
1. Use the 3-point hitch only in conjunction with the
implement that is specifically designed for use
with the 3-point hitch.
2. Before using a 3-point hitch mounted implement,
the appropriate counterbalance may need to be
installed on the front of the tractor.
3. While on a road, do not attempt to operate an
implement. During transportation, put the 3-point
hitch control lever in its raised position and lock it
with the position stop knob.
Do not fully close the hydraulic flow control / stop
knob to hold an implement in the raised position
while the tractor is traveling with the implements.
Doing so could cause damage to the hydraulic lift
circuit.
Your tractor is equipped with a Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) which must be maintained in a fully
functional condition. Check overhead clearance
carefully before driving under power lines, wires,
bridges or low hanging branches, before entering or
leaving buildings, or in any other situation where the
operator and/or Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) may be stuck, which could result in serious
injury.
1. Never modify the Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) in any way.
2. Never attempt to straighten or reweld any part of
the main frame or retaining brackets that have
been damaged. Doing so may weaken the
structure and endanger your safety.
3. Never secure any parts on the main frame or
attach the safety frame with anything other than
the special fasteners specified.
4. Never attach ropes, chains, or cables to the Roll-
Over Protective Structure (ROPS) for pulling
purposes.
5. Although the Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) provides you the maximum protection
possible, never take unnecessary risks.
