1.3 Follow a safety program
1.3.1 For proper operation
To ensure that the agricultural equipment operates correctly, it must be operated by qualified and
authorised personnel. To qualify, you must understand the instructions provided in this Manual, receive the
proper training and know the rules and safety regulations related to your work.
Some traffic regulations determine that children younger than 16 years, for example, may not operate farm
machinery. In other places, the law states that only those over 18 years of age may operate farm
machinery. Tractors are part of this category. It is your responsibility to know these regulations and to
comply with them.
These regulations include, but are not limited to, the following instructions for safe operation:
DANGER:
Use of drugs or alcohol. May affect awareness or coordination. If the operator is taking
prescription or non-prescription medication, he or she should see a doctor to find out if
his/her ability to operate the machine may be adversely affected by such medication.
IMPORTANT:
Operator's Manual for any kit or implement. Find out if there is a manual and carefully read the additional
safety information.
Follow the following instructions:
• Do not allow children or people not qualified for the job to operate the tractor. Keep people away from
the work area.
• Always use the safety belt.
• When possible, avoid operating the tractor near ditches, earthwork or holes. Reduce speed when
turning, when going up or down slopes or hills and on rough, slippery or muddy surfaces.
• Avoid very steep hills.
• Pay close attention to where you are going, especially at the end of rows, on the roads or when
operating close to trees.
• The instructor's seat must be used only for short periods.
• Do not allow children in the instructor's seat.
• Do give rides on the machine or implement, unless there is a proper instructor's seat.
• The implement must only be coupled to the draw bar or recommended hitch points and never above
the center line of the rear axle.
• Operate the tractor slowly and with caution - without sudden maneuvers, starts or stops. When the
tractor is stopped, engage the park brake. Lower the implement and remove the key from the ignition.
• Do not modify or remove any part of the equipment and do not use attachments that are not suitable
for the tractor.
