SAFETY REGULATIONS
PAY ATTENTION TO THIS SYMBOL
This warning symbol points out important messages concerning your safety.
Carefully read the following safety regulations and observe advised precautions in
order to avoid potential hazards and safeguard your health and safety.
In this manual the symbol is accompanied by the following key--words:
CAUTION -- Warnings concerning unsuitable repair operations that may jeopardise the
safety of Service personnel.
DANGER -- Specific warnings concerning potential hazards for operator safety or for
other persons directly or indirectly involved.
ACCIDENT PREVENTION
Most accidents or injuries that occur in workshops
are the result of non--observance of simple and fun-
damental safety regulations.
For this reason, IN MOST CASES THESE ACCI-
DENTS CAN BE AVOIDED by foreseeing possible
causes and consequently acting with the necessary
caution and care.
Accidents may occur with all types of vehicle, regard-
less of how well it was designed and built.
A careful and judicious service technician is the best
guarantee against accidents.
Precise observance of the most basic safety rule is
normally sufficient to avoid many serious accidents.
DANGER. Never carry out any cleaning, lubrication
or maintenance operations when the engine is run-
ning.
SAFETY REGULATIONS
GENERAL GUIDELINES
-- Carefully follow specified repair and mainten-
ance procedures.
-- Do not wear rings, wristwatches, jewellery, un-
buttoned or loose articles of clothing such as:
ties, torn clothing, scarves, open jackets or shirts
with open zips that may remain entangled in
moving parts.
It is advised to wear approved safety clothing,
e.g.: non--slip footwear, gloves, safety goggles,
helmets, etc.
-- Do not carry out repair operations with someone
sitting in the driver’s seat, unless the person is a
trained technician who is assisting with the oper-
ation in question.
-- Operate the vehicle and use the implements ex-
clusively from the driver’s seat.
-- Do not carry out operations on the vehicle with
the engine running, unless specifically indicated.
-- Stop the engine and check that the hydraulic cir-
cuits are pressure--free before removing caps,
covers, valves, etc.
-- All repair and maintenance operations must be
carried out using extreme care and attention.
-- Service steps and platforms used in a workshop
or in the field should be built in compliance with
the safety rules in force.
-- Disconnect the batteries and label all controls to
indicate that the vehicle is being serviced. Any
parts that are to be raised must be locked in posi-
tion.
-- Do not check or fill fuel tanks, accumulator bat-
teries, nor use starting liquid when smoking or
near naked flames, as these fluids are inflam-
mable.
-- Brakes are inoperative if manually released for
repair or maintenance purposes.
Use blocks or similar devices to secure the ma-
chine in these conditions.
-- The fuel nozzle should always be in contact with
the filling aperture. Maintain this position until fill-
ing operations are completed in order to avoid
possible sparks caused by the accumulation of
static electricity.

4SECTION 00 -- GENERAL GUIDELINES -- CHAPTER 1
-- Only use specified towing points for towing the
tractor, connect parts carefully. Make sure that all
pins and/or locks are secured in position before
applying traction.
Never remain near the towing bars, cables or
chains that are operating under load.
-- Transport vehicles that cannot be driven using a
trailer or a low--loading platform trolley, if avail-
able.
-- When loading or unloading the vehicle from the
trailer (or other means of transport), select a flat
area capable of sustaining the trailer or truck
wheels, firmly secure the tractor to the truck or
trailer and lock the wheels in the position.
-- Electric heaters, battery--chargers and similar
equipment must only be powered by auxiliary
power supplies with efficient ground insulation to
avoid electrical shock hazards.
-- Always use suitable hoisting or lifting devices
when raising or moving heavy parts.
-- Take extra care if bystanders are present.
-- Never pour gasoline or diesel oil into open, wide
and low containers.
-- Never use gasoline, diesel oil or other inflam-
mable liquids as cleaning agents. Use non--in-
flammable, non toxic commercially available sol-
vents.
-- Wear safety goggles with side guards when
cleaning parts with compressed air.
-- Limit the air pressure to a maximum of 2.1 bar,
according to local regulations.
-- Do not run the engine in confined spaces without
suitable ventilation.
-- Do not smoke, use naked flames, or cause
sparks in the area when fuel filling or handling
highly inflammable liquids.
-- Never use naked flames for lighting when work-
ing on the machine or checking for “leaks.”
-- All movements must be carried out carefully
when working under, on or near the vehicle and
wear protective equipment: helmets, goggles
and special footwear.
-- When carrying out checks with the engine run-
ning, request the assistance of an operator in the
driver’s seat. The operator must maintain visual
contact with the service technician at all times.
-- If operating outside the workshop, position the
vehicle on a flat surface and lock in position. If
working on a slope, lock the vehicle in position
and move to a flat area as soon as is safely poss-
ible.
-- Damaged or bent chains or cables are unreliable.
Do not use them for lifting or towing.
Always use suitable protective gloves when
handling chains or cables.
-- Chains should always be safely secured. Make
sure that the hitch--up point is capable of sustain-
ing the load in question.
Keep the area near the hitch--up point, chains or
cables free of all bystanders.
-- Maintenance and repair operations must be car-
ried out in a CLEAN and DRY area, eliminate any
water or oil spillage immediately.
-- Do not create piles of oil or grease--soaked rags
as they represent a serious fire hazard; store
them in a closed metal container.
Before starting the vehicle or implements, make
sure that the driver’s seat is locked in position
and always check that the area is free of persons
or obstacles.
-- Empty pockets of all objects that may fall unob-
served into the vehicle parts when disas-
sembled.
-- In the presence of protruding metal parts, use
protective goggles or goggles with side guards,
helmets, special footwear and gloves.
-- When welding, use protective safety devices:
tinted safety goggles, helmets, special overalls,
gloves and footwear. All persons present in the
area where welding is taking place must wear
tinted goggles.
NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE WELDING
ARC WITHOUT SUITABLE EYE PROTECTION.
-- Metal cables tend to fray with repeated use. Al-
ways use suitable protective devices (gloves,
goggles, etc.) when handling cables.
-- Handle all parts carefully, do not put your hands
or fingers between moving parts, wear suitable
safety clothing -- safety goggles, gloves and
shoes.

SECTION 00 -- GENERAL GUIDELINES -- CHAPTER 1 5
START UP
-- Never start the engine in confined spaces that
are not equipped with adequate ventilation for
exhaust gas extraction.
-- Never bring your head, body, arms, legs, feet,
hands, fingers near fans or rotating belts.
ENGINE
-- Always loosen the radiator cap slowly before re-
moving it to allow any remaining pressure in the
system to be discharged. Coolant should only be
added when the engine is stopped or idling, if hot.
-- Never fill up with fuel when the engine is running,
especially if hot, in order to prevent the outbreak
of fire as a result of fuel spillage.
-- Never check or adjust fan belt tension when the
engine is running.
Never adjust the fuel injection pump when the ve-
hicle is moving.
-- Never lubricate the vehicle when the engine is
running.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
-- If it is necessary to use auxiliary batteries, re-
member that both ends of the cables must be
connected as follows: (+) with (+) and (--) with (--).
-- Avoid short--circuiting the terminals. GAS RE-
LEASED FROM BATTERIES IS HIGHLY IN-
FLAMMABLE.
-- During charging, leave the battery compartment
uncovered to improve ventilation.
-- Never check the battery charge using “jumpers”
(metal objects placed on the terminals).
-- Avoid sparks or flames near the battery zone to
prevent explosion hazards.
-- Before servicing operations, check for fuel or cur-
rent leaks. Eliminate any eventual leaks before
starting work.
-- Never charge batteries in confined spaces. Make
sure that there is adequate ventilation in order to
prevent accidental explosion hazards as a result
of the accumulation of gases released during
charging operations.
-- Always disconnect the battery before performing
any kind of servicing on the electrical system.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
-- A liquid leaking from a tiny hole may be almost in-
visible but, at the same time, be powerful enough
to penetrate the skin. Check for leaks using a
piece of cardboard, NEVER USE HANDS.
-- If any liquid penetrates skin tissue, call for medi-
cal aid immediately.
-- Serious skin infections may result if medical
attention is not given.
-- Use the specific tools when checking pressure
values on the hydraulic system.
WHEELS AND TIRES
-- Check that the tires are correctly inflated at the
pressure specified by the manufacturer.
Periodically check possible damages to the rims
and tires.
-- Stand away from (at the side of) the tire when
checking inflation pressure.
-- Only check pressure when the tractor is un-
loaded and the tires are cold, to avoid incorrect
readings as a result of over--pressure.
-- Do not re--use parts of recovered wheels as in-
correct welding or brazing may heat the material,
causing it to weaken and eventually damage or
break the wheel.
-- Never cut or weld a rim mounted with an inflated
tire.
-- When removing the wheels, lock both the front
and rear vehicle wheels.
-- Always position support stands when raising the
vehicle, in order to conform to current safety re-
gulations.
-- Deflate the tire before removing any object
caught in the tire tread.
-- Never inflate tires using inflammable gases; this
could cause an explosion and put operator safety
at risk.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
-- Lift and handle all heavy parts using suitable lift-
ing equipment and make sure that all slings and
hooks are correctly secured.
-- Handle all parts carefully during lifting oper-
ations, keep an eye on the personnel working
near the load to be lifted. Never insert hands or
fingers between parts, always wear approved
accident prevention clothing (goggles, gloves
and work boots).
-- Avoid twisting chains or metal cables and always
wear safety gloves when handling cables or
chains.
