SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DANGER :
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in
DEATH or serious INJURY.
A frequent cause of personal injury or death is
persons falling off and being run over. Do not permit
others to ride on your tractor. Only one person, the
operator, should be on the machine when it is in
operation.
Before leaving the tractor, stop the engine, put all
controls in neutral, engage the parking brake and
remove the key from the ignition.
When using remote hydraulic tractor valves on some
tractors, the backhoe lift and dump cylinders will
continue
moving unless the control levers are
manually returned to neutral, or until relief pressure is
reached at the ends of piston strokes. Observe the
bucket movement and maintain control with the
control levers.
Stop the backhoe arms gradually when lowering or
lifting loads.
Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation. Shift
down before you start up or down a hill with a heavy
load. Avoid "free wheeling"
Before starting the engine of your tractor, make sure
all operating controls are in park lock or neutral
position.
Operate controls only when seated in the operator's
seat.
Equip your tractor with a ROPS cab or frame for your
protection. See your tractor operator's manual for
correct seat belt usage.
