SECTION 2: SAFETY ADVICE
2-4
TRACTOR WORK WITH POWER TAKEOFF SHAFT (PTO) ENGAGED
•
In the event of necessity to inspect the machine (its disconnection) during work with machines
(implements) driven by the PTO, ensure that PTO does not rotate before leaving cab.
•
While working with machines (implements) driven by PTO persons being
in the vicinity of rotating assemblies or machine elements must not wear loose clothing, because it might
pose danger.
•
While working with stationary machines, driven by PTO, always engage parking brake, block front and rear
wheels and position front wheels for driving straight ahead.
•
Do not wash, regulate or service machines (implements) driven by PTO when engine is running.
•
Always use covering guard, and when PTO is not used, place protective covering over end of PTO shaft.
•
Do not use shafts to drive machines without the complete guards envisaged in tractor design.
•
Always apply the appropriately selected PTO shafts (depending on the driven machine's torque that needs
to be transferred). Torque value in Nm is normally given on guard of PTO.
FIRE SAFETY RULES
•
Do not add, for any reason, petrol or mixtures to the diesel fuel because this may significantly increase the
danger of fire or explosion.
•
Always screw the fuel cap tightly onto fuel tank inlet.
•
Do not pour fuel while engine is running.
•
Do not smoke cigarettes while pouring fuel and also while servicing fuel system.
•
Do not fill the total capacity of fuel tank. Always leave a small space for fuel expansion.
•
Always refuel after finishing work to reduce water vapour condensation occurring overnight in fuel tank.
•
Do not store fuel and lubricant materials within the distance less than 3 m from the permanent parking
place of tractor. Equip the place with reliably operating fire extinguishing equipment.
•
Be careful during repairs involving welding. Clean place of repair so that no fire may occur during work.
•
Ensure the air-tightness of the exhaust system so that it cannot be contaminated, especially from the
exterior with flammable substances.
•
Do not allow the occurrence of leaks from fuel and hydraulic systems.
•
Equip tractor with GP-1X, BC-DB, or similar type of extinguishers and secure them
in fasteners.
SAFETY RULES FOR WORK ON SLOPES
In order to prevent air from entering the fuel system during work on slopes and undulating fields, the
quantity of fuel in the tank should always be a minimum of 1/4 fuel tank capacity.
If possible avoid driving tractor across the slopes (required directions - upwards and to bottom of field). If
work shall take place across slope, one should additionally:
•
use the widest wheel spacing,
•
make turns in an upwards direction,
•
do not lift implements higher than necessary in order to make the manoeuvre (e.g. turn),
•
check that tyre pressure in rear wheels is uniform,
•
the travel speed at turns to the minimum,
•
while using a reversible plough begin ploughing from the top of the elevation summit; thus the wheels on
the upwards side travel in the furrow trough - reducing the angle of inclination of the tractor.
