2 - SAFETY INFORMATION
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as hard
hat, eye protection, heavy gloves, hearing protection, pro-
tective clothing, etc.
Do Not Operate tag
Before you start servicing the tractor, attach a ‘Do Not
Operate’ warning tag to the tractor in an area that will be
visible.
Hazardous chemicals
If you are exposed to or come in contact with hazardous
chemicals you can be seriously injured. The fluids, lu-
bricants, paints, adhesives, coolant, etc. required for the
function of your tractor can be hazardous. They may be
attractive and harmful to domestic animals as well as hu-
mans.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) provide information
about the chemical substances within a product, safe
handling and storage procedures, first aid measures and
procedures to be taken in the event of a spill or accidental
release. MSDS are available from your dealer.
Before you service your tractor check the MSDS for each
lubricant, fluid, etc. used in this tractor. This information
indicates the associated risks and will help you service
the tractor safely. Follow the information in the MSDS, on
manufacturer containers, as well as the information in this
manual when servicing the tractor.
Dispose of all fluids, filters, and containers in an environ-
mentally safe manner according to local laws and regula-
tions. Check with local environmental and recycling cen-
ters or your dealer for correct disposal information.
Store fluids and filters in accordance with local laws and
regulations. Use only appropriate containers for the stor-
age of chemicals or petrochemical substances.
Keep out of reach or children or other unauthorized per-
sons.
Additional precautions are required for applied chemi-
cals. Obtain complete information from the manufacturer
or distributor of the chemicals before using them.
Utility safety
When digging or using ground-engaging equipment, be
aware of buried cables and other services. Contact your
local utilities or authorities, as appropriate to determine
the locations of services.
Make sure the tractor has sufficient clearance to pass in
all directions. Pay special attention to overhead power
lines and hanging obstacles. High voltage lines may re-
quire significant clearance for safety. Contact local au-
thorities or utilities to obtain safe clearance distances from
high voltage power lines.
Retract raised or extended components, if necessary.
Remove or lower radio antennas or other accessories.
Should a contact between the tractor and an electric
power source occur, the following precautions must be
taken:
• Stop the tractor movement immediately.
• Apply the park brake, stop the engine, and remove the
key.
• Check if you can safely leave the cab or your actual
position without contact with electrical wires. If not, stay
in your position and call for help. If you can leave your
position without touching lines, jump clear of the tractor
to make sure you do not make contact with the ground
and the tractor at the same time.
• Do not permit anyone to touch the tractor until power
has been shut off to the power lines.
