PRECAUTIONS FOR WORKING IN
SAFETY
Protect yourself
Wear all protective clothing and any personal protection
devices called for by the work conditions. Never take any
risks (Fig. 2-3).
You need the following protective clothing:
- A hard hat.
- Safety goggles or mask.
- Hearing protection.
- Respirator or filter mask.
- Clothing for bad weather.
- Reflective clothing.
- Heavy-duty gloves (neoprene for chemicals, leather for
rough work).
- Safety shoes.
DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewellery or other items
and tie up long hair that could get entangled in controls
or moving parts.
A first aid kit should be available on any work site (Fig.2-
3b).
WARNING: The tractor is designed and built to avoid any
fire risks during normal operation. Therefore, it is not
provided of a self-extinguishing system or a fire
extinguisher on board as a standard. The tractor is anyway
designed to install a 1 kg dust fire extinguisher complying
with UNI EN 3/7 2004 standard. The fire extinguisher must
be mounted in the reserved and indicated position (Fig.2-
4a & Fig.2-4b)
The fire extinguisher with its support can be bought as a
kit by our Dealers or authorized workshops. The kit
consists in a fire extinguisher, support, fastening means,
directions for its mounting and a decal to be applied in
the indicated area. The decal, when applied, declares that
the tractor may not be used if the ire extinguisher is not
in its place.
It is up to the owner of the farm or to the person
responsible for safety at the farm to judge the opportunity
of using the tractor in areas at high fire risk. They are
also responsible for use of the tractor with the extinguisher
duly mounted.
- Use safety goggles
- Use a protective mask
- Use protective headsets on all tractors without cab.
- Use heavy-duty gloves.
- Use safety footwear.
- Use a hard hat.
First aid box
If the tractor’s owner or safety manager provides the
tractor with a first aid box, we recommend storing the
box in a suitable place when the tractor is not used for a
long time, owing to its highly perishable content.
