2.7.1 Protection of persons other than the operator
Procedure
1.
Before starting up, walk all the way round the tractor and any attached equipment. Ensure that no
one is under it, on it or close to it.
2.
Warn anyone nearby that the tractor is about to start.
3.
Only start up if there is nobody in the vicinity of the tractor/implement assembly. Pay particular
attention to looking out for children.
2.7.2 Start up safely
General instructions
WARNING: Before starting the engine, ensure there is plenty of ventilation in the area.
The exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.
Do not operate the engine in an enclosed space.
IMPORTANT:
For tractors equipped with an electromechanically controlled brake on the steering column
(ParkLock)
For safety reasons, when the engine is stopped, the ParkLock engages automatically regardless of the
position of the control.
After the engine is started, it is necessary to initialise the ParkLock control in order to deactivate it. If this is
not carried out, when a gear is shifted, a beep will sound and the padlock symbol on the instrument panel
indicates that the ParkLock remains engaged.
• Always start the engine from the operator's seat.
• Adjust the seat before using the tractor to ensure it is correctly positioned in relation to the controls and
to minimize vibration (see description of seat).
• For road use, ensure that the tractor brake pedals are locked together.
• Fasten the seat belt.
• Check that the parking brake is applied or that ParkLock is engaged.
• For tractors with a PowerShuttle, position the Reversora lever in neutral.
• For tractors with mechanical reverse shuttle, position the reverse shuttle lever and the gear shift lever
in neutral.
• Deactivate the power take-off (PTO) controls.
• Follow the start-up procedures described in the chapter Operation of this book.
DANGER:
Start the engine with the ignition key
and from the operator's seat only.
Do not attempt to start the engine by short-
circuiting the starter terminals: The tractor may
start in gear and this can cause serious injury or
death to anyone in the vicinity.
