Ensure that all hydraulic connections
are tight. Relieve all pressures before dis-

and must be treated with great care:
on the tractor while smoking or when near
open flames or sparks.
Never refuel the tractor while the en-
gine is running.
DO NOT use cans unless necessary.
Always clean up any spilled fuel.

Fluids
All fluids should be handled with care.
If you swallow or are injured by any fluid

almost invisible; they can penetrate the
skin causing serious injury. Keep hands
and body away from pin holes and noz-
to observe the restrictions on the use of
vehicles carrying projecting loads or ap-
pliances. Ensure that lights and reflectors
are not obscured before entering the pub-
lic highway.

On public roads, use the SMV (slow
moving vehicle) emblem, and flashing
warning lights where required by law.
Always comply with local traffic regu-
lations when driving on public roads.
