2 - SAFETY INFORMATION
Instructional seat safety
Passengers are not permitted to ride on the machine.
The instructional seat is to be used only when training a
new operator or when a service technician is diagnosing
a problem.
When required for the purposes of training or diagnostics,
only one person may accompany the operator and that
person must be seated in the instructional seat.
When the instructional seat is occupied, the following
precautions must be followed:
• Machine should be driven only at slow speeds and over
level ground.
• Avoid driving on highways or public roads.
• Avoid quick starts or stops.
• Avoid sharp turns.
• Always wear correctly adjusted seat belts.
• Keep door closed at all times.
Operator presence system
Your machine is equipped with an operator presence sys-
tem to prevent the use of some features while the operator
is not in the operator’s seat. Never disconnect or bypass the operator presence sys-
tem.
If the operator presence system is inoperable, then it must
be repaired.
Power Take-Off (PTO)
PTO-driven machinery can cause death or serious injury.
Before you work on or near the PTO shaft or service or
clear the driven machine, put the PTO lever in the disen-
gage position, stop the engine, and remove the key.
Whenever a PTO is in operation, a guard must be in place
to prevent death or injury to the operator or bystanders.
When doing stationary PTO work, keep clear of all moving
parts and make sure that appropriate guards are in place.
Never use a spline adaptor:
• Match the right tractor PTO spline and speed with the
PTO driveshaft provided with an implement. This will
assure proper geometry and operating speed.
• Never operate
540 RPM implements at 1000 RPM .
• Never operate
1000 RPM implements at 540 RPM .
• Use of PTO adaptors will void the warranty of the drive-
shaft, and the PTO drive train of the machine and im-
plement.
• For correct hitch geometry, refer to the operator’s man-
ual for each implement you connect.
Reflectors and warning lights
You must use flashing amber warning lights when you
operate equipment on public roads.
Seat belts
Seat belts must be worn at all times.
Seat belt inspection and maintenance:
• Keep seat belts in good condition.
• Keep sharp edges and items than can cause damage
away from the belts.
• Periodically check belts, buckles, retractors, tethers,
slack take-up system, and mounting bolts for damage
and wear.
• Replace all parts that have damage or wear.
• Replace belts that have cuts that can make the belt
weak.
• Check that bolts are tight on the seat bracket or mount-
ing.
• If the belt is attached to the seat, make sure that the
seat or seat brackets are mounted securely.
• Keep seat belts clean and dry.
• Clean belts only with soap solution and warm water.
• Do not use bleach or dye on the belts because this can
make the belts weak.
• Refer to XXX for proper use and adjustment of the seat
belts.
