Introduction
Parking
Park on a level surface. If you must park on a grade,
chock the tractor's belts.
Move the transmission control lever to the PARK position.
Lower all implements to the ground.
Move the implement controls to the HOLD position.
Before you stop the engine, move the throttle control lever
to the LOW IDLE position. Run the engine at low idle
speed for five minutes. This will allow the turbocharger to
cool.
Stop the engine.
Turn the engine start switch to the OFF position and
remove the engine start switch key.
Turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position.
Operator Station
Any modifications to the inside of the operator station
should not project into the operator space. The addition of
a radio, fire extinguisher, and other equipment must be
installed so that the defined operator space is maintained.
Any item that is brought into the cab should not project
into the defined operator space. A lunch box or other
loose items must be secured. Objects must not pose an
impact hazard in rough terrain or in the event of a rollover.
Crushing Prevention and Cutting
Prevention
Support the equipment properly when you perform work
beneath the equipment. Do not depend on the hydraulic
cylinders to hold up the equipment. An implement can fall
if a control lever is moved or if a hydraulic line breaks.
Never jump across the starter solenoid terminals to start
the tractor. Unexpected tractor movement could result.
Never attempt adjustments while the tractor is moving or
while the engine is running.
Whenever there are attachment control linkages, the
clearance in the linkage area will change with movement
of the attachment.
Stay clear of all rotating parts and all moving parts.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The fan
blades will throw objects and the fan blades can cut
objects.
Do not use a wire cable that is kinked or frayed. Wear
gloves when you handle wire cable.
When you strike a retainer pin, the retainer pin might fly
out. The loose retainer pin can injure personnel. Make
sure that there are no people in the area when you strike
a retainer pin. To avoid injury to your eyes, wear protective
glasses when you strike a retainer pin.
Chips or other debris may fly off objects when you strike
the objects. Make sure that no one will be injured by flying
debris before you strike any object.
Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS)
Do not make any modifications to the ROPS as this will
affect the protection provided. Do not alter the structure
by welding, cutting, adding weight, or drilling holes into
the structure.
Any alteration that is not specifically authorized by AGCO
invalidates the AGCO certification for the ROPS. The
protection that is offered by the ROPS will be impaired if
the ROPS has structural damage. Damage to the
structure can be caused by an overturn or by falling
objects.
Do not mount items (fire extinguishers, first aid kits, work
lights, etc) by welding any brackets to the ROPS or by
drilling holes in the ROPS. See your dealer for mounting
guidelines.
