New Holland Workmaster 50, Service Manual

Page: 17 / 1067

INTRODUCTION
1. When operating PTO driven equipment, shut off the engine and wait until the PTO stops before getting off the
tractor and disconnecting the equipment.
2. Do not wear loose clothing when operating the power take-off or when near rotating equipment.
3. When operating stationary PTO driven equipment, always place all gear shift levers in neutral position.
4. To avoid injury, do not clean, adjust, unclog, or service PTO driven equipment when the tractor engine is running.
5. Ensure the PTO master shield is installed at all times. Always replace the PTO shield cap when the PTO is not in
use.
Diesel fuel
1. Under no circumstances should gasoline, alcohol, or blended fuels be added to diesel fuel. These combinations
can create an increased fire or explosive hazard. Such blends are more explosive than pure gasoline in a closed
container such as a fuel tank.
2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the engine running or hot.
3. Do not smoke while refueling or when standing near fuel.
4. Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle when filling the tank.
5. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for expansion.
6. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
7. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
8. If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with a NEW HOLLAND approved cap. A non-approved, proprietary
cap may not be safe.
9. Keep equipment clean and properly maintained.
10. Do not drive equipment near open fires.
11. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
12. Arrange fuel purchases so that winter grade fuels are not held over and used in the spring.
Safety Frame or Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS)
Your NEW HOLLAND tractor is equipped with a safety frame. It must be maintained in a serviceable condition. Be
careful when driving through doorways or working in confined spaces with low headroom.
Under no circumstances should you:
• Modify, drill, or alter the safety frame in any way. Doing so may render you liable to legal prosecution.
• Attempt to straighten or weld any part of the main frame or retaining brackets which have suffered damage. Doing
so may weaken the structure and endanger your safety.
• Secure any parts on the main frame or attach your safety frame with anything other than the special high tensile
bolts and nuts specified.
• Attach chains or ropes to the main frame for pulling purposes.
• Take unnecessary risks even though your safety frame affords you the maximum protection possible.
