CAUTION: When the tractor is coupled to front loaders or blades, it may only be used for
material movement activities.
Any other activity, especially excavations, places the integrity of the equipment at risk,
potentially leaving it inoperative.
Never use the tractor coupled to front chargers or blades for any other activity than
movement of loose materials. The load should be applied to the center of the bucket or
blade; furthermore, there should be no strain when the steering is turned to the right or
left. If the front-wheel drive is engaged, disengage it to work with the loaders or front
blade.
• Implements mounted on 3-point linkage and side implements make a much higher arc when the towed
equipment is operated. Always maintain enough clearance for maneuvers. Only use equipment that is
approved by Valtra.
• When using accessories or implements with the tractor, carefully read the Maintenance Guide for the
respective attachment or implement and follow the safety instructions. Only use equipment that is
approved by Valtra.
• Do not overload the towed accessory or equipment. Use suitable counterweights to ensure the stability
of the tractor. Attach loads to the drawbar only.
• When the tractor is equipped with implements and/or accessories, in addition to adhering to the tractor
and implement and/or accessory manuals, the restrictions of tractor use when attaching certain
implements and/or accessories must also be observed.
• A safety chain will help you to control towed equipment in the event that it accidentally detaches from
the drawbar during transport. Using appropriate adapters, hitch the chain to the tractor drawbar support
or another specific location for this purpose. Leave only a small gap in the safety chain for maneuvers.
Use a Valtra safety chain with strength equal to or greater than the gross weight of the towed machine.
• Make sure that the towed parts are installed with a safety chain connecting the tractor to the tool, if
required by law.
• Only transport the implement using the
drawbar. Towing through hitching to other
locations may cause the tractor to roll over.

1.5.3 Safety practices
• Operate the controls with care. Do not turn the steering wheel or use sudden movements to activate
other controls.
• Do not mount or dismount the tractor when it is moving. Hold the steering wheel firmly and with both
hands.
• Make sure that there is enough space in all directions, for both the tractor and the implement.
• Do not play with the tractor or equipment. These should be used for the indicated purpose only.
• Do not try to operate the controls if you are not in the operator's seat.
• Before dismounting, always disengage the PTO, lower all attachments and implements to the ground,
put the tractor in neutral, engage the park brake, shut down the engine and remove the ignition key.
NOTE:
Do not touch, lean on or try to reach the implement mechanisms, or allow others to do so.
