the requirements stipulated.
You need to be aware that your own safety and the safety of others depends on how well you maintain and
operate this vehicle. Before attempting to work with the vehicle, first familiarise yourself with the layout and
function of all the instruments and controls (‘operating elements’). BEFORE STARTING WORK, ALWAYS
TRY OUT ALL OPERATING ELEMENTS IN A SAFE LOCATION.
READ THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY and ensure that you understand the purpose and function of all the
operating elements. Every item of equipment possesses restrictions of one kind or another. Prior to starting
work, always ensure that you are able to correctly estimate the speed, braking action, steerability, stability and
load-bearing characteristics of this vehicle.

carrying or operating defined items of equipment and machinery, or for pulling a trailer.
Any usage extending beyond the scope of the above list is defined as improper use. The manufacturer
declines to accept any liability for resultant damage and injury. The operator is solely liable for such risk.
Correct usage also involves strict compliance with the operating, maintenance and repair instructions
specified by the manufacturer.
This Case tractor can only be used, maintained and repaired by people who are familiar with the special
characteristics of this vehicle and who have been advised of the relevant safety regulations (accident

SAFETY/SAFETY PANELS
RULES FOR GENERAL SAFETY
AND FOR ACCIDENT PREVENTION
●In addition to the instructions contained in these operating instructions, you must also observe the
rules governing general safety and accident prevention.
●Comply with relevant legislation whenever you are using public highways.
●Before starting work, first familiarise yourself with all the equipment and operating elements and their functions. It is
too late to do this once you have started working with the equipment.
●Before setting off, check the immediate area around the vehicle (e.g. children). Ensure you have a clear
field of view.
●Never leave the engine running in confined spaces. Ensure there is adequate ventilation.
●Exercise caution when handling fuels. Increased risk of fire. Never fill the fuel tank near naked flames or
near flying sparks. Do not smoke while refuelling.
●Before refuelling, switch off engine and remove key from ignition. Never top up fuel tank in confined areas. Wipe up
spilled fuel immediately.
●To prevent the risk of fire, always keep the vehicle in a clean condition.
●Exercise caution when handling battery acid (toxic and corrosive).
TRANSPORTING PEOPLE
●Never carry passengers unless a legally acceptable passenger seat is provided.
●No other form of passenger transport is permitted.
●Children must only ever be transported in specially designed seats (available in trade retail outlets.)
DRIVING OPERATION
●Always adapt vehicle speed to suit prevailing conditions. When driving uphill or downhill, and when traversing slopes, avoid
any sudden cornering action. When cornering, always disengage the differential lock. Never disengage the clutch when
driving downhill.
●Connect up trailers and/or equipment properly. The driving characteristics, steerability and braking action of this
vehicle are all affected by the presence of towed equipment, trailers or ballast weights. You must therefore ensure
at all times that you have enough strength to steer and brake the vehicle safely.
●Pay due attention to the maximum permitted axle loads and the gross tractor weight.
●When cornering while towing or carrying implements, pay due attention to the additional size and inertia weight of that
equipment.

SAFETY/SAFETY PANELS
LEAVING THE TRACTOR
●When leaving the tractor, always ensure that it is not able to roll away (apply parking brake, chock the
wheels).
●Remove the ignition key and lock the cab.
●Never leave the tractor unattended while the engine is running.
●Never leave the driver’s platform/cab while the tractor is in motion.
●Before exiting the tractor, lower the implement or attachment unit to the ground.
TRAILED EQUIPMENT
●When connecting up trailers or implements, exercise particular caution – and never step between tractor
and implement.
●Secure trailer and implements to prevent them from rolling away.
●Only start up the tractor once all guards are attached and are in their correct protective positions.
OPERATING THE P.T.O
●Before installing and removing the propshaft, always first switch off the engine.
●When operating the PTO, never allow anyone to stand near the rotating PTO shaft or drive shaft.
●Protective guards must be fitted over the input shaft and PTO stub shaft. Refer to Page 105.
●Implements with a high inertia torque do not stop immediately after the PTO shaft has been switched off.
Use propshafts with an overrun sprag unit. Before cleaning or carrying out adjustments, always wait until
the implement has finished working and has come to a complete stop.
●Immediately after removing the propshaft, cover the PTO shaft with a protective cap.
MAINTENANCE AND OTHER WORK
●Never carry out maintenance work on the tractor while the engine is running. Follow the instructions in this
manual or consult the dealer.
●Fluid (hydraulic oil) escaping under high pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries. If any
fluid does penetrate your skin, always seek immediate medical attention, otherwise serious infections
might occur.
●Dispose of waste oil, fuel and used filters in accordance with local legislation. Do not drain oil into the
ground or the drainage/sewerage system. Proceed in an environmentally aware manner.
●Tighten the wheel nuts after the number of operating hours specified in this manual. Refer to Page 156.
●Before carrying out any repair work to the electrical system on this vehicle, always first disconnect the
battery earth/ground strap. Refer to Page 207.
