SAFETY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before starting the engine of your tractor, make sure all operation
controls are in park lock or neutral position.
Operate controls only when seated in the operator’s seat.
Equip your tractor with a ROPS cab or frame for your protection.
See your tractor operator’s manual for correct seat belt usage.
A frequent cause of personal injury or death is persons falling off
and being run over. Do not permit others to ride on your tractor.
Only one person, the operator, should be on the machine when it
is in operation.
Before leaving the tractor, stop the engine, put all controls in neu-
tral, engage the parking brake and remove the key from the igni-
tion.
When using remote hydraulic tractor valves on some tractors, the
loader lift and dump cylinders will continue moving unless the con-
trol levers are manually returned to neutral, or until relief pressure
is reached at the ends of piston strokes. Observe the bucket move-
ment and maintain control with the control levers.
Stop the loader arms gradually when lowering or lifting loads.
Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation. Shift down before
you start up or down a hill with a heavy load. Avoid “free wheeling”
