SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
6. Only the driver should ride on
the tractor with the ROPS
frame fitted and with the seat
belt properly fastened.
7. Where young children are pres-
ent, particular care should be
taken and the tractor should not
be moved until the whereabouts
of all children is known.
8. Only trained operators should op-
erate the tractor and so taking
care to ensure that other workers
are not injured. In particular they
should take care during dusty op-
erations, which will reduce visibili-
ty substantially.

transmission is out of gear, the
operator is in the seat and all
round safety has been checked.

er turn or brake suddenly at
high speed as this can cause
a roll-over and serious injury or
death.

er both meet all laws relating to
safety and licensing. When trav-
eling with wide implements use
red flags on the extremities and
observe all legal including es-
cort requirements.
12. When operating under adverse
conditions, hilly terrain or on
bad ground adjust the speed
of the tractor to suit the condi-
tions, safety comes first. Nev-
er drive down hill at high speed
or with the transmission in neu-
tral. Use of the braking capacity
of the engine as well as the ser-
vice brakes.
Do not try to change gear go-
ing up or down a steep slope,
select the correct gear before

with a heavy implement to en-
sure that it does not overbal-
ance and tip up the front end.

Please remember that a little bit of
extra care can prevent serious injury
