2.8 - INTRODUCTION
The present Safety chapter sets out certain typical situa-
tions that may be encountered during normal tractor oper-
ation and maintenance, and suggests solutions to remedy
them. This chapter DOES NOT replace the other safety in-
structions in the other chapters of this book.
Other precautions must be taken depending on the equip-
ment used and the working conditions on the site or in the
maintenance area. The manufacturer is unable to directly
control the use, operation, checking, lubrication and main-
tenance of the tractor. The DRIVER is therefore responsi-
ble for applying the safety measures relevant to all these
operations.
NOTE: This Book is intended for distribution in North
America; it is possible that some default equipment or
attachments mentioned are not available in the country
where the tractor is used. Please consult your dealer for
further information on this subject.
Only use approved attachments and equipment.
2.9 - NOTE TO THE OPERATOR
It is YOUR responsibility to read and understand the Safety
chapter in this book before starting your tractor. You must
follow these safety instructions that take you step by step
through your working day.
In reading this section, you will note that illustrations have
been used to highlight certain situations. Each item illus-
trated is numbered and the same number appears in the
text, in parentheses. This number is placed at the end of
the written text that refers to the item illustrated.
Remember that YOU are the key to safety. Good safety
practices not only protect you, but also bystanders. Study
the features in this book with care and make them a work-
ing part of your safety program.
Keep in mind that this safety section is written only for this
type of machine. Also study the usual protective measures
taken when working and in particular -
REMEMBER THAT SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU. YOU
CAN PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
