7.11 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USING THE TRACTOR
As the operator, you must always follow the recommendations described below.
•
Even if you are familiar with them, always test all operating controls, particularly the
control devices for starting and stopping before using the tractor for the first time.
•
Check the condition of the tractor, the fluid levels (oil, water, fuel) and tyre wear and
pressure.
•
When the temperatures are low, always pre-heat the engine before starting to work with
the tractor.
•
Only use the tractor with the roll bar in the upright position and the safety belt properly
adjusted.
•
The tractor can also be used with the roll bar lowered, but only when driving over short
distances and on terrains where there is no danger of rollover. When doing so, you must
not fasten the safety belt and you must pay particular attention when driving because you
are not appropriately protected.
•
Always stop the tractor and depress the clutch pedal before moving the shift lever for
changing the driving direction.
•
Always keep the clutch pedal depressed before changing gears.
•
The gear must always be suitable for the condition of the terrain, never drive in neutral
gear on sloping terrain.
•
If an implement is installed, always adapt the driving speed to the implement.
•
Stop the tractor before engaging the PTO drive shaft because the engine revolutions must
drop to a minimum.
•
To stop the operation of the implement during driving, disengage the tractor's PTO drive
shaft.
•
When driving in reverse with an implement installed, lift the rear hydraulic mechanism
and disengage the PTO drive shaft.
•
Before making sharp turns with a trailed implement installed on the tractor and universal
joint engaged, stop the PTO drive shaft and disconnect the universal joint.
•
Stay away from the universal joint after disengaging it, because it continues to rotate for a
while. You can approach it when completely stopped.
•
When the PTO drive shaft is synchronized with the gearbox, its operation is conditioned
with the movement of wheels and will rotate even when the tractor's engine is turned off.
You must therefore pay attention to the risk of wobbling if the universal joint is attached.
•
Before engaging differential lock, stop the tractor and reduce the number of engine
revolutions to a minimum.
•
Only use the differential lock when absolutely necessary, when the wheel traction is
reduced.
•
DO NOT use the differential lock when turning the tractor!
