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.

Manual backgroundWARNING

ALWAYS remain seated in the operator’s station when starting the engine or actuating the levers or controls.

Always ensure that your foot is removed from the forward and reverse pedal, the parking brake is engaged and Power Take Off (PTO) switch is in the OFF position before the engine is started.

While operating the tractor, make sure to keep the seat belt fastened with the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) equipped. This will reduce the possibility of injury or death in the event of an accident such as an overturn or roll-over.

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, make sure that all the safety features are functioning correctly. Make corrections as necessary.
