Safety Precautions
S-5
• Safe tractor operation
The tractor was designed to perform a wide
variety of jobs safely. Use your tractor only
for the jobs it was designed to perform:
carrying and operating implements, moving
loads, as a remote power source, and
towing implements. It is not a recreational
or passenger vehicle.
Misuse or careless use of your tractor
or implement can result in unnecessary
accidents. Be aware of operational
hazards.
Understand the causes of accidents and
take every precaution to avoid them. Most
common accidents are caused from:
• Tractor misuse.
• Improper starting procedures
• Crushing and pinching when hitching
implements
• Collisions with other motor vehicles
• Getting entangled in PTO shafts
• Falls from tractors
• Tractor or implement overturn
Avoid accidents by taking the following
precautions:
Before dismounting, put the transmission in
NEUTRAL and APPLY the PARK BRAKE.
Leaving the transmission in gear with the
engine stopped will NOT prevent the tractor
from moving. Be sure everyone is clear of
the tractor and attached equipment before
starting the engine.
Never try to get on or off a moving tractor.
When the tractor is left unattended, place
the transmission in NEUTRAL, apply
the park brake, lower implements to the
ground, stop the engine and remove the
key.
