A
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
A
The safety
of
the operator
is
one
of
the main concerns in designing and developing a new Tractor.
De-
signers
build
in
as
many safety features
as
possible. However, every year many accidents occur which could
have
been
avoided by a
few
seconds
of
thought
and a more careful approach
to
handling farm machinery and
implements.
You,
the operator,
can
avoid many accidents by observing the
following
precautions. Study
these precautions and insist those
working
with
you and
for
you
follow
them.
* Never
attempt
starting the engine while standing alongside the tractor. Start the engine
only
while
sitting in the operator's seat.
* Do
not
bypass the starter safety switch
with
"home
made" wiring. Consult the MF dealer
if
the
starter safety switch
should malfunction.
* Never operate the Tractor engine in a closed building.
*
When
operating a gasoline
tractor
in conjunction
with
an
implement
that
could discharge trash toward
the
tractor,
install a metal sediment bowl in place
of
the original heat resistant
glass
bowl.
*
If
the Tractor
is
equipped
with
a Saf-T-Frame
USE
THE SEAT BELT.
* Safety Shields
are
for
your
protection - keep them in place.
*
Be
particular about loose clothing which
can
catch easily in moving parts.
*
Only
you,
the operator, should
be
permitted on the Tractor when
it
is
in operation. Never allow any-
one
to
ride on drawbar, hitch
or
fender.
* Keep a
firm
grip on the steering wheel at all times
with
thumbs clear
of
spokes when operating the
Tractor.
* Always remain seated when the Tractor
is
moving over rough ground.
* Reduce
speed
of
the Tractor on curves, rough ground and hillsides
so
there
is
no chance
of
overturning.
* Make sure the brakes apply evenly when coupled together.
* Always keep the Tractor in
gear
to
provide engine braking when going down steep hills
or
grades.
With Multi-Power Transmission,
shift
to
"High"
range
to
provide engine braking.
* Never
leave
the
Tractor
engine running while
working
on the Tractor
or
while drawn equipment
is
be-
ing adjusted, unless specifically recommended.
* Place the gearshift lever and dual range lever in
"Neutral"
when the
Tractor
is
stopped.
Apply
the
parking brake before leaving the Tractor
platform.
* Do
not
leave
an
implement in the raised position when
not
in
use.
Lower the implement
to
the
ground.
* Always
mount
and
dismount
the Tractor
from
the side. Never
to
the rear.
* Never refuel the
Tractor
when the engine
is
running. Do
not
smoke while
filling
the fuel tank or
servicing the
fuel system.
*
Add
coolant
to
the radiator
only
when the engine
is
stopped
or
idling slowly.
Turn
the radiator cap
slowly
to
relieve pressure when removing the cap.
