7. OPERATING THE ENGINE
NEVER run or idle the engine in a
confined area that is poorly ventilated or
not ventilated at all. The engine emits
carbon monoxide as that is colorless,
odorless and can cause death.
ALWAYS remain seated in the operator’s station
when starting the engine or actuating the levers or
controls.
ALWAYS ensure that all the levers are in NEUTRAL,
the parking brake is engaged securely, and the
clutch and Power Take Off (PTO) are disengaged
before starting the engine.
ALWAYS keep the retractable seat belt fastened
whenever the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS)
is in the upright and locked position.
Start the engine of your tractor only with the starter
key switch. NEVER attempt to start the tractor engine
by short-circuiting across its terminals with a jumper
or by bypassing the safety start switch.
Before operation, check that all the safety features
are functioning correctly. Make corrections as
necessary.
