SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL
XIX
–
Always use the seat belt.
When used correctly, it can
help you drive in safety. En-
sure the belt is worn without
slack or twists, and that is
not caught on objects near
the seat or trapped under
the seat support.
–
Before leaving the driving position, remember to lower the 3-point link-
age and/or any implement mounted on the tractor, to put all controls in
neutral, to apply the handbrake, to switch off the engine, to remove the
key from the ignition switch and to turn the battery earth switch to “off”
(where present).
–
Where possible, avoid operating the tractor near ditches, embank-
ments and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes, and
on rough, slippery, or muddy surfaces.
–
Stay off slopes too steep for safe operation.
–
Watch where you are going, especially at row ends, on roads, and
around trees.
–
DO NOT permit others to ride on the tractor or the implement unless
an approved passenger seat and seat belt is fitted.
–
Hitch only to the drawbar and hitch points recommended, and never
above the centre line of the rear axle.
–
Operate the tractor smoothly - no jerky turns, starts or stops. When the
tractor is stopped, apply the parking brake securely. Lower the imple-
ment and remove the key.
–
DO NOT modify or remove any part of the equipment and DO NOT
use attachments unless they are properly matched to your tractor.
–
For safety reasons, avoid very steep slopes. Change down through
the gears on both uphill and downhill slopes, especially with heavy
loads. NEVER allow the tractor to freewheel with the clutch disen-
gaged or the gearbox in neutral.
