1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

8. Operating the Power Take Off (PTO)

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 the Power Take Off (PTO)- driven implements, engage the parking brake securely and chock the four wheels. Do not approach or access any rotating component.

9. Using the 3-Point Hitch

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.

10. Safety Frame (Roll-Over Protective Structure) (ROPS) Precautions

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 the operator the maximum protection possible, never take unnecessary risks.
