GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
A careful operator is the best operator.

serving certain precautions. To help pre-
vent accidents, use these safety
precautions, and pay attention to the
job at hand. If you can prevent an
accident, your time will have been well
spent.
5. Keep safety decals clean of dirt and
debris.
6. Watch where you are going at all
times so that you are able to avoid
obstacles that can cause injury or
damage to your tractor.
7. When starting the tractor make sure
your path is clear of people to avoid
accidents caused by sudden
movements.
8. Before making reverse movements
with your tractor, you should always
check to see that the path is clear.
1. It is recommended that you read and
understand this entire manual before

ure to do so could result in accidents
or injury.
2. Only persons who are properly
trained should be allowed to operate

A ROPSand CAB should never be
modified by welding, grinding or cutting,
as this can weaken the ROPS
structure. If any components of the
ROPS unit is damaged, it must be
replaced.
If the ROPS unit is removed or loos-
ened for any reason, the parts should
be fitted back to their original positions
and all bolts should be properly torqued.
Always use seat belt when the trac-
tor is equipped with a ROPSand
CAB. Never use the seat belt when
tractor is not equipped with a
ROPS.
(ROPS: Roll-Over Protective
Structures)
21. Extra caution should be taken when
driving tractors with narrow tread
widths. For added stability you
should adjust your rear wheel tread
width, see page 4-55
19. Before starting your tractor you
should depress the clutch and
make sure that all shift levers are
in the neutral position and parking
brake is applied.
20. For your safety ROPS with a seat
belt is recommended for all
applications.

1. Avoid accidental contact with gear
shift levers while the engine is
running. Unexpected tractor move-
ments can result in bodily injury.

incline, and remember to shut off the
engine and P.T.O before dismount-
ing the tractor.
PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION
WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE

closed building without the proper
ventilation. Containing carbon mon-

death.

7. Always use the proper ballast weight
on your tractor when using rear
implements.
8. Watch front and rear to avoid ob-
stacles at row ends, near trees and
around other obstructions.
4. Make sure that all pressure lines are
tight before starting the tractor.
5. Pull only from the drawbar. Never
hitch anything to the axle housing or
any other point except the drawbar.
Pulling from any other location only
increase the risk of serious personal
injury or death.
6. If the front of the tractor tends to rise
up when heavy implements are at-
tached to the three point hitch,
weights should be installed on the
tractor. Do not operate the tractor
with a light front end.

1 -7 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

9. Do not leave equipment in the
raised position when the vehicle is
stopped or unattended.
10. When using implements or attach-
ments with your tractor you should
first read their respective owner's
manual. You should always keep
their safe operation procedures in
mind.
11. You should be familiar with your
equipment and its limitations.
12. If abused or used incorrectly your
tractor can become dangerous to
you and bystanders. Overloading
your tractor or using unsafe equip-
ment can also be dangerous and
should be avoided. Refer to the
"Specifications of Implement
Limitation", which outlines the
maximum load for safe tractor
operation.
15. When working in groups, always let
the others know what you are go-
ing to do before you do it.
16. Never "freewheel". Disengaging the
clutch or shifting into neutral while
descending a slope as this could
lead to a loss of control.
17. Do not operate near ditches, holes,
embankments, or other terrain fea-
tures which may collapse under the
tractor's weight. The risk of tractor
upset is even higher when the
ground is loose or wet.
13. Driving forward out of a ditch or
steep inclines can cause the trac-
tor to tip over backwards. To avoid
this you should back out of these
positions. Four wheel drive tractors
can give you a false sense of secu-
rity in the tractors ability to maneu-
ver out of these positions, so extra
caution should be taken.
14. Never try to get on or off a moving
tractor.
