General information for intended use
z
Your tractor is designed and manufactured to pull, to carry, to supply the power a variety of mounted
or towed equipment
for agriculture
. Do not use the product for other purposes than intended by the
manufacturer and outlined in this manual. Do not use this tractor for light/heavy forestry applications.
z
Do not use the product beyond its
limits of terrain gradient
and stability than outlined in this manual.
Using the tractor beyond these limits may cause a overturning accident.
z
Do not use the tractor on higher speeds than allowed by the load of the tractor and road condition.
Always choice
a suitable driving speed
to maintain the stability of the tractor.
z
Do not use the tractor
near or on soft verges
of canals and brooks or banks and verges that are
undermined by rodents. The tractor may sink sideways and roll-over.
z
Do not use the tractor on brittle bridge heads and poor bridge floors, These constructions may
collapse and cause overturning of the tractor.
Always check out the condition and carrying
capacity of bridges and ramps
prior to engage.
z
Do not use the tractor without wearing the seat belt and Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS)
during operations where roll-over or tip-over hazards exist. The ROPS will only be fully
effective when the driver remains attached to his seat.
z
Do not use equipment mounted on the tractor which is not
correctly matching and firmly fixed
.
Such equipment may increase the risk for roll-over and hit the tractor when coming loose.
z
Do not use the tractor in combination with equipment arbitrary, without
having consulted the
specific operator’s manual provided with the equipment
. This manual alone cannot provide you
with all the information about safety operation of the combination.
z
Do not use the tractor beyond its
limits of dynamic stability
. High speed, abrupt maneuvers, and
fast and short cornering will increase the risk of roll-over.
z
Do not use the tractor for
overloaded pulling work
, in cases where you don’t know if the load will
yield, for instance when pulling stumps. The tractor may flip over when the stump is not yielding.
z
Be extremely cautious when working with the tractor
on forage silos without lateral concrete walls
.
A wide track setting may improve the lateral stability of the tractor.
z
Be cautious that the
center of gravity of the tractor may increase
when the front-end loader is
loaded or the three-point linkage are raised. In these conditions, the tractor may roll-over earlier than
expected.
z
Do not step down from the tractor without shutting down the PTO, shifting the transmission
to neutral and applying the parking brake.
