OPERATION

4. STARTING THE TRACTOR

The operator must have a complete understanding of the placement, function, and operational use of all tractor and boom operating controls before starting the tractor. Review the tractor operator’s manual and consult an authorized dealer for tractor operation instructions if needed.

Essential Tractor Controls:

¾Locate the ignition key/switch

¾Locate the engine shut off control

¾Locate the hydraulic control levers

¾Locate the light control lever

¾Locate the brake pedals and clutch

¾Locate the PTO control lever

¾Locate the 3-point hitch control lever

¾Locate the boom operating controls (joystick or valve bank)

Before starting the tractor ensure the following:

¾Conduct all pre-start operation inspection and service according to the tractor operator’s manual.

¾Make sure all guards, shields, and other safety devices are securely in place.

¾The parking brake is on.

¾The tractor transmission levers are in park or neutral.

¾The boom operating controls are in the neutral and off positions.

¾The PTO control lever is disengaged.

¾The hydraulic remote control levers are in the neutral position.

Refer to the tractor owner’s manual for tractor starting procedures. Only start the tractor while seated and belted in the tractor operator’s seat. Never bypass the ignition switch by short circuiting the starter solenoid. After the tractor engine is running, avoid accidental contact with the tractor transmission to prevent sudden and unexpected tractor movement.

DANGER! Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health.

DANGER! Start the Tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a Tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operator’s manual for proper starting instructions.

RBF-19C specifications

The Tiger RBF-19C is a remarkable example of advanced unmanned aerial technology, designed primarily for reconnaissance and battlefield surveillance. This drone has garnered attention for its exceptional capabilities and cutting-edge features that make it a valuable asset for military and defense operations.

One of the standout characteristics of the RBF-19C is its high-altitude endurance. The drone is engineered to operate at significant elevations, which allows it to cover vast terrains while remaining undetected. With a maximum altitude capability of 20,000 feet, it can conduct prolonged missions, gathering intelligence over hostile areas without risking human pilots.

Under the hood, the Tiger RBF-19C incorporates advanced sensor technologies that enable it to deliver real-time data. Equipped with high-definition cameras, multispectral sensors, and infrared technology, it can capture detailed images and videos even in adverse weather conditions and low-light environments. This capability significantly enhances situational awareness for ground forces, making decision-making faster and more efficient.

Another notable feature of the RBF-19C is its extended operational range. The drone can maintain a communication link over distances exceeding 200 kilometers, enabling it to operate far beyond the frontline. This extended range allows for strategic reconnaissance missions, providing vital intelligence without exposing personnel to danger.

In terms of maneuverability, the Tiger RBF-19C is designed for versatility. It features a robust flight control system that allows for nimble navigation in complex environments. The drone can perform various flight patterns, including loitering and waypoint navigation, which is particularly useful for surveillance missions where constant observation of a target is crucial.

Moreover, the RBF-19C is built with a modular design, allowing for quick modifications and upgrades to suit different mission requirements. This adaptability ensures that it can be easily retrofitted with new technology or payloads, keeping it relevant amidst rapidly evolving warfare tactics.

Lastly, the RBF-19C is renowned for its stealth capabilities. Designed with a low radar cross-section and noise-reduction technologies, it minimizes its visibility to enemy radar systems, enabling covert operations. This attribute is essential for missions that require undetected data gathering.

In conclusion, the Tiger RBF-19C represents a significant advancement in drone technology, combining endurance, advanced sensors, extended range, and stealth. Its sophisticated design and operational capabilities make it an invaluable tool for modern military forces, enhancing their ability to carry out reconnaissance and maintain situational awareness on the battlefield.
