25. When you use PTO-driven equip-
ment, stop the engine and make
sure that PTO drive end has
stopped completely, before you
leave the cab and uncouple the
equipment.
26. Do not wear loose clothes when
operating the PTO or when you are
in the vicinity of the rotating equip-
ment.
27. When working with stationary ma-
chinery driven from the PTO, do not
fail to apply the parking brake and
block the rear wheels of the tractor
from the front and rear sides. Also
make sure the machine is secured
in its place.
28. Make sure the guard of the PTO

Safety measures during tractor
maintenance
30. Never refuel the tractor when the
engine is running.
31. Never smoke while refueling the
tractor.
32. Never fill the tank fully. Leave place
for fuel expansion.
33. Never add petrol or mixtures to the
diesel fuel. Such combinations may
enhance the fire or explosion ha-
zard.
34. Use properly summer and winter
fuel grades. Fill in a fuel tank at the
end of each day to minimize night
water condensation.
35. Perform all operations, relating to
engine and tractor cleaning, prepa-
ration for work, maintenance, etc.,
when the engine is shut down and
brakes are applied.
36. The cooling system operates under
pressure, which is maintained by
the valve installed in the filler cap. It
is dangerous to remove the cap
when the engine is hot. To avoid
face and hands burns be careful
while opening radiator filler cap
when the engine is hot. Put close
cloth on the cap and take on a
glove in advance.
37. To avoid skin burns, be careful
when draining cooling liquid or wa-
ter from the cooling system, hot oil
from the diesel, hydraulic system
and transmission.
38. Be careful when servicing storage
batteries, because electrolyte
causes burns if it comes into con-
tact with the skin.
39. To avoid danger of explosion keep
any type of open flame away from
engine fuel system and storage bat-
teries.
40. Keep the tractor, its equipment, es-
pecially brakes and steering con-
trol, in operable state in order to
ensure your own safety and safety
of people around.
41. Do not make any alternations in the
tractor or its separate components
without consulting your dealer and
or manufacturing works. Otherwise
the tractor will be deprived of after-
sales service.
42. To avoid the fuel splash-out while
refueling the tractor by mechanized
method, remove the screen filter
from the fuel tank filler neck.
Screen filter is designed only for
manual refueling of the tractor in
the field.
43. Refuel the tractor using only oils
and lubricants recommended by the
manufacturing works. It is strictly
forbidden to use other lubricants!
