General indications
and safety tips
4. Do not tow agricultural machinery with automotive vehicles at high speeds on public roads. They are
mostly designed to be towed by tractors on country roads at low speeds of not more than 15 mph.
5. Make sure the total width of machinery you are towing on public roads does not exceed what is
legally permitted. Use signaling lights or banners, or travel with a signaling companion vehicle.
6. Do not allow people on machines, either working or in transport.
7. Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.
8. Follow maintenance indications detailed in user's manual.
9. Do not attempt to revise or repair anything if there are moving parts or tractor's engine is running.
10. Hands, feet, hair and loose clothing are especially at risk of being snagged by moving shafts and
driveline components. Operator should use adequate shoes and tight fitting clothes, and avoid using
rings, watches, chains or other types of jewelry. He should also wear head, eye and ear protection if
necessary.
11. In all machines equipped with hydraulic circuits used for elevation or rotation, do not perform
maintenance work without ensuring that:
a) Engine is off.
b) Nobody has ignition keys to inadvertently turn engine on.
c) Safety stops are in place
d) There are supporting stands between machine and ground.
12. Ensure that operator is familiar with fire hazard procedures and proficient with a fire extinguisher.
Following all safety routines involves a high degree of responsibility. Be responsible to yourself and others.
1. Allow only people with a working knowledge of the machine, controls and safety rules to operate it.
2. Verify that all safety and instructional decals are in place and in good condition. If they're not, replace them.
3. For machinery that uses the PTO:
a) Confirm that all protective shields are in place and do not interfere with moving parts.
Drive shaft shields should be secured with chains to prevent them from turning.
b) Follow instructions regarding minimum coupling lengths for drive shaft sections.
Disconnection during operation can have dire consequences.
c) Check correct PTO rpm's indicated for your machine, either 540 or 1,000.
Therefore, please follow these guidelines:
It is important, in order to avoid accidents that affect oneself and others, to be familiar with the operation of
agricultural machinery.
