2.7 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATING THE TRACTOR ON STEEP
SLOPES
•
When operating the tractor, avoid working on uneven ground, steep slopes or
embankments. Particular attention should be paid when driving near ditches or holes.
•
Adverse weather conditions can soften the ground and reduce the stability of the tractor,
which can lead to slipping or even overturning, therefore you should always make sure
the ground is solid before driving, particularly during poor weather conditions.
•
When driving on steep slopes, adjust the speed by shifting into an appropriate gear,
particularly when carrying heavy loads or implements.
•
Only attach a trailed implement or a trailer on the original linkage system of the tractor.
•
The trailed implement must always be lighter than the tractor.
•
When driving uphill on a steep slope with the tractor carrying a heavy trailed implement,
always drive in reverse, otherwise the front end of the tractor may be lifted off the ground
due to excessive load, which can lead to a tractor rollover.
•
When braking with a trailed implement, particularly when driving downhill, you must
take into account the length, width and weight of the latter, which are very important for
stability, the stopping distance in relation to the speed of the tractor may significantly
increase due to their impact.
•
When driving on a steep slope, always lower any implements on the tractor as close to the
ground as possible.
•
If the tractor starts to roll over, firmly grasp the steering wheel, push your feet firmly
against the ground and lean against the backrest of the seat. When the tractor has
completely stopped, leave the driver’s area using one of the emergencies exits.
2.7.1 IMPROPER USE OF THE TRACTOR ON STEEP SLOPES
•
When driving on steep slopes, never shift into neutral and
do not press the clutch pedal.
•
Avoid aggressive driving and sudden stopping and avoid
sharp turning, otherwise the tractor may roll over.
•
Do not drive the tractor transversely across the slope,
otherwise you risk a roll over; if possible, only drive
straight up and down the slope.
2.8 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING IMPLEMENTS
If additional implements are installed on the tractor, which
can change the weight distribution, adjust your driving style to
current conditions.
•
Only attach implements on dedicated places on the
tractor, which are designed for this purpose.
•
When a fixed, self-supporting implement is connected
to the tractor through the universal joint, always keep
the tractor running in idle or shift into neutral position,
activate the parking brake and place wedges under the
wheels.
•
Keep in mind that any implement changes the total
weight, which reduces the braking efficiency and has a
significant impact on a longer stopping distance.
