SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
and the parking brake applied
and wheels choked.
Where a tractor is started in a
confined area, ensure that the
area is well ventilated as exhaust
gases are very harmful, and can
cause death.
6. Do not work under raised imple-
ments.
7. When changing wheels or tires
ensure that a suitable wheel
stand is placed under the axle
prior to removing the wheel and
the wheels are chocked.
8. Where guards or shields need to
be removed to perform a service
or repair, ensure that the guard
or shield is correctly reinstalled
before starting the tractor.
9. Never refuel near a naked flame
or with an overheated engine.
Ensure to turn off Engine before
refueling.
10. The cooling system operates un-
der pressure, take care when re-
moving the radiator cap on a hot
engine to prevent being scald-
ed by steam or hot water. Do not
add water in the radiator when
the engine is hot. Add water to
the radiator only after the engine
cools down completely.
11. To prevent fires keep the tractor
including the engine clean and
free from inflammable materi-
al and well away from fuels and
other inflammable material.
MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING
IMPLEMENTS
1. Ensure that all mounting and re-
moval of implements is done on
safe flat ground. Ensure no one is
between the tractor and implement
and do not get under the implement
to avoid accidental injuries.
2. After mounting the implement, en-
sure that all sway chains are cor-
rectly adjusted and, where PTO
shafts are used that the shaft is fit -
ted and secured correctly.
3. Where heavy implements are
used, ensure that the combina-
tion is well balanced or use prop-
er ballast to achieve balance.
4. Before leaving the tractor at any
time, lower the implement, stop
the PTO shaft where applicable,
set the parking brake and switch
off the engine.
5. While operating the implements with
the PTO keep all bystanders away
from any moving parts and do not
attempt to make adjustments while
the machine is running.
