INTRODUCTION
Safety rules
ACCIDENT PREVENTION
Most accidents or injuries that occur in workshops are the result of non-observance of simple and fundamental safety
regulations.
For this reason, IN MOST CASES THESE ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOIDED: by foreseeing possible causes and con-
sequently acting with the necessary caution and care.
Accidents may occur with all types of machine, regardless of how well the machine in question was designed and
built.
A careful and prudentmechanic is the best insurance against any accident.
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 running.
GENERALITIES
• Carefully follow specified repair and maintenance procedures.
• Do not wear rings, wristwatches, jewellery, unbuttoned 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 operation in question.
• Operate the vehicle and use the implements exclusively from the driver’s seat.
• Do not carry out operations on the vehicle with the engine running, unless specifically indicated.
• Stop the engine and ensure that all pressure is relieved from hydraulic circuits before removing caps, covers, valves,
etc.
• All repair and maintenance operations must be carried out with the greatest care and attention.
• Service stairs 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. Block the machine and
all equipment which should be raised.
• Do not check or fill fuel tanks, accumulator batteries, nor use starting liquid when smoking or near naked flames,
as these fluids are inflammable.
• Brakes are inoperative if manually released for repair or maintenance purposes.
In such cases, the machine should be kept constantly under control using blocks or similar devices.
• The fuel nozzle should always be in contact with the filling aperture. Maintain this position until filling operations
are completed in order to avoid possible sparks caused by the accumulation of static electricity.
• Only use specified towing points for towing the tractor. Connect the parts carefully and 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
• To move a disabled machine, use a trailer or a low-boy, if available.
• 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.
• For electrical heaters, battery-chargers and similar equipment use exclusive auxiliary power supplies with a efficient
ground to avoid electrical shock hazard.
• Always use lifting equipment and similar of appropriate capacity to lift or move heavy components.
• 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 inflammable liquids as cleaning agents. Use non-flammable non-toxic pro-
prietary solvents.
• Wear safety goggles with side guards when cleaning parts with compressed air.
