SAFETY: TRACTOR and IMPLEMENT
•
The tractor is a source of power: Both mechanical and hydraulic.
•
On its own, the tractor is of little practical value. Only when used in conjunction with an
implement or other attachment does it become a working unit.
•
This instruction book is compiled to cover those safe working practices that are associated with
the base tractor operation.
•
It does not cover all operation and safety instructions relevant to all known implements and
attachments that may be fitted at the time of tractor delivery or at some future date.
•
It is essential that operators use and understand the relevant instruction manual of such
implements and attachments.
2.10 SAFETY: INTRODUCTION
This safety section of your Operator Instruction book is intended to point out some of the basic
safety situations which may be encountered during the normal operation and maintenance of
your PLATFORM, and to suggest possible ways of dealing with these situations. This section is
NOT a replacement for other safety practices featured in other sections of this book Additional
precautions may be necessary depending on attachments used and conditions at the work site
or in the service area. The tractor manufacturer has no direct control over tractor application,
operation, inspection, lubrication or maintenance. Therefore, it is YOUR responsibility to use
good safety practices in these areas.
