SAFETY

FOREWORD

CLAAS Tractors are designed and built to give you optimum 
service over many years. They are designed to provide the 
most comfortable and safe working conditions. 
However, accidents can easily happen in agricultural work. It 
is important to know the dangers and how to avoid them. 

We respectively draw your attention to certain aspects 
that merit constant attention (non exhaustive list). 

PRECAUTIONS BEFORE STARTING

Caution is the best guarantee against any risk of 
accident. 

The driver must be fully familiar with the tractor and must 
understand all the controls, their position and their purpose. 
This manual must be read carefully. 
If the tractor is used by anybody other than the owner, he 
must be given all explanations required to allow him to work 
safely. 
The driving position must be clean (instrument panel, steering 
wheel, floor and pedals). 

Footsteps must be clean (no mud) to avoid slipping when 
climbing or descending. 

Use the steps and handles provided when getting into or out 
of the tractor. 
Before starting the engine, make sure that all controls are in 
the neutral position, particularly the power take-off lever. 

Only run the engine in well ventilated areas. 

Make sure there is nobody nearby before starting the 
tractor. 

Fully release the handbrake before starting. 

Do not start work if the tractor is not working properly.
