ATTENTION ! BECOME ALERT ! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED !
l
Work out of doors or in a well ventilated area.
l
Dust found on the tractor or produced during
work on the tractor should be removed by
extraction and not by blowing.
l
Dust waste should be dampened, placed in a
sealed container and marked to ensure safe
disposal.
l
If any cutting, drilling etc., is attempted on
materials containing asbestos, the item should
be dampened and only hand tools or low speed
power tools used.
9.
Do not run the tractor engine in a closed building
without adequate ventilation as exhaust fumes
may suffocate you.
10. Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to
modify or alter the tractor or any of its components
or any tractor function without first consulting your
Authorised Dealer.
11. Tractor wheels are heavy. Handle them with care
and ensure that, when stored, they cannot topple
and cause injury.
DIESEL FUEL
1.
Under no circumstances should gasoline, alcohol
or blended fuels be added to diesel fuel. These
combinations can create an increased fire or
explosive hazard. In a closed container, such as
a fuel tank, these blends are more explosive than
pure gasoline. Do not use them blends.
2.
Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the engine
running or hot.
3.
Do not smoke or allow an open flame near the fuel
tank or while refuelling the tractor. Wait for the
engine to cool before refuelling.
4.
Maintain control on the fuel filler pipe nozzle when
filling the tank.
5.
Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for
expansion.
6.
Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
7.
Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
8.
If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with
an approved cap. A non-approved cap may not be
safe.
9.
Keep equipment clean and properly maintained.
10. Do not drive equipment near open fire.
11. Never use fuel for cleaning purpose.
12. Use diesel fuel with a minimum cetane rating of
40 (Diesel fuel no. 2) at ambient temperatures
above –70
0
C (20
0
F) or Diesel fuel no. 1 below this
temperature. At very low ambient temperatures
and/or at high attitude, a fuel with a higher cetane
rating is required.
13. Diesel fuel with a sulphur content above 1.3% is
not recommended.
14. Precaution should be taken to ensure that stored
fuel is kept free of dirt, water, etc.
15. Fuel should be stored in black iron tanks, not
galvanised tanks, as the galvanised coating will
react with the fuel and form compounds that will
contaminate the injection pump and injectors.
16. Bulk storage tanks should be installed away from
direct sunlight and angled slightly so that the outlet
pipe is at the higher end. In this way sediment in
the tank will settle away from the outlet pipe.
17. To facilitate moisture and sediment removal, a
drain plug should be provided at the lowest point
(at the opposite end to the outlet pipe). If there is
no filter on the outlet pipe, then a funnel with a
fine mesh screen should be used when filling the
tractor fuel tank.
18. Fuel purchases should be arranged so that summer
grade fuels are not held over and used in winter
and vice-versa.
19. Refill the fuel tank via filler tube which is on the
rear left-hand side of the hood.
CAUTION :
The fuel oil in the injection system
is pressurized and can penetrate human skin
with fatal results. Adjustment of fuel injection equipment
should not be carried out by unqualified person.
SAFETY FRAME OR ROLL BAR (where fitted)
Your tractor may be equipped with a safety frame or roll
bar which must be maintained in a serviceable condition.
Be careful when driving through doorways or working in
confined spaces with low headroom.
Under no circumstances:
i)
modify, drill, weld or alter the safety frame or roll
bar in any way. Doing so could render you liable to
legal prosecution in some countries.
ii)
attempt to straighten or weld any part of the safety
frame, roll bar or retaining brackets which have
suffered damage. By doing so you may weaken
the structure and endanger your safety.
iii)
secure any parts on the safety frame or roll bar or
attach if with other than the special high tensile
bolts and nuts specified.
iv)
attach chains or ropes to the safety frame or roll
bar for pulling purpose.
v)
take unnecessary risks even though your safety
frame or roll bar affords you the maximum
protection possible.
CAUTION :
If there is a risk from falling objects
at your work environment, a Falling Objects
Protective Structure (FOPS) must be installed on your
tractor.
