23
SAFETY NOTES
STARTING THE TRACTOR
Warn bystanders before starting:
Before starting, Walk all around the tractor and any attached equipment. Make sure that no one is under it, on it, or close to it. Let other workers and bystanders know you are starting up and don't start until everyone is clear of the tractor, implements and towed equipment.
Ensure that all bystanders, particularly children are in a safe position before starting the engine.
Mount and dismount properly:
Always use 'three point contact' with the machine, and face the machine when you mount it. Three point contact means both hands and one foot or one hand and both feet are in contact with the machine at all times during mounting and dismounting.
Clean the soles of your shoes and wipe your hands before climbing on. Use handrails, grip handrails, ladders or steps (as provided) when mounting or dismounting.
NEVER use control levers as a hand hold and NEVER step on foot controls when mounting or dismounting.
NEVER attempt to mount or dismount from a moving tractor. NEVER jump off a tractor in any circumstances.
Adjust the seat, fasten the seat belt (where applicable as outlined in this manual), apply the parking brake and put all controls in neutral before starting up.
Before starting the engine, make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never operate the engine in a closed building. The exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.
KEEP RIDERS OFF TRACTOR
Do not allow riders on the Tractor.
Riders on Tractor are subject to injury such as being stuck by foreign objects and being thrown off the Tractor.
PRECAUTION TO AVOID TIPPING
Do not drive where the Tractor could slip or tip.
Stay alert for holes and rocks in the terrain, and other hidden hazards. Slow down before you make a sharp turn.
Driving forward out of a ditch or mired condition could cause Tractor to tip over backward. Back out these situations if possible.
24
SAFETY NOTES
PROHIBITED USE OF TRACTOR DURING OVERTURNING
Risk of Overturning:
For your safety, tractor is fitted with safety frame and seat belts.
In the event of overturning with a tractor fitted with a safety frame, hold the steering wheel firmly and DO NOT attempt to leave the seat until the tractor has come to rest.
To avoid side overturns:
•Set the wheel track at the widest setting suitable for the job being done.
•Lock the brake pedals together before driving at transport speeds.
•Reduce speed to match operating conditions. If the tractor is equipped with a front end loader, carry the bucket and load as low as possible.
•Make wide slow turns on reduced speed. DON'T let you tractor bounce. You may loose steering control.
•DON’T pull a load too heavy for your tractor. It could run away on the down slope the tractor could jack knife around a towed load.
•DON’T brake suddenly. Apply brakes smoothly and gradually.
•When going down a slope use the throttle to slow the tractor engine and use the same gear you would use to up the slope. Shift into gear before you start downhill.
•Engine four-wheel drive (4WD), if fitted, will give you four wheel braking.
PARK TRACTOR SAFELY
Before working on the Tractor:
Lower all equipments to the ground.
Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
SAFETY STARTER SWITCH

25
SAFETY NOTES
AVOID HOT EXHAUST
Servicing machine or attachment with engine running can result in serious personal injury. Avoid exposure.
Exhaust parts and streams become very hot during operation. Exhaust gases and components reach temperatures hot enough to burn people, ignite, or melt common materials.
AVOID HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Keep hands and body away from pinholes and nozzles, which eject fluids under
high pressure. If any fluid is injected into the skin, consult your doctor
immediately.
PREVENT BATTERY EXPLOSIONS
Keep sparks, lighted matches, and open flame away from the top of battery.
Battery gas can explode.
Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across the poles.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY LIGHTS
Use of hazard warning lights and turn signals are recommended when towing equipment on public roads unless prohibited by state or local regulations.
ROAD REGULATIONS
ŸWhen operating your tractor on a public road a number of precautions must be taken.
ŸKnow the route you are going to travel.
ŸUse caution when towing a load at transport speeds especially if the towed equipment is NOT equipped with brakes.
ŸObserve all local or national regulations regarding the road speed of your tractor.
ŸUse extreme caution when transporting on snow-covered or slippery roads.
ŸWait for traffic to clear before entering a public road. Beware of blind intersections. Slow down until you have a clear view.
