Towing safely

For the maximum permissible load of the hitch, see 'Maximum hitch load' in the Specifications section. 

Maintain a suitable speed taking into account the weight of the load towed or carried by the tractor 

and the inclination of the surrounding terrain, remembering that the braking distances will be greater 

than that of a unloaded tractor. Attached trailers or semi-trailers with or without brakes that exceed the 

specified technically permissible maximum authorized weight may cause loss of control of the tractor 
unit. 

Always take into account the total weight of the attached machine and its load. 

When semitrailers are attached to the tractor, remember to switch all controls to neutral position, lock 

the parking brake, turn off the engine, engage first gear (for mechanical transmission), and remove 

the ignition key before leaving the operator's seat. ALWAYS secure the wheels of the tractor and the 

trailer with wedges. The safest and recommended way to transport a damaged tractor is to transport it 
on a low-load trailer. Always attach the tractor to the low-load trailer with chains. Before transporting 

the tractor on a low-load trailer or on a railway wagon, make sure that the engine cover, door, 

openable roof (if available) and windows are closed and securely locked. Never tow the tractor at 

a speed higher than 10 km/h. In this case, the operator must remain in the operator's seat to drive and 

brake the tractor.

 Caution: 

When a trailers is hitched to the tractor, before you leave the driving seat remember 

to put all the controls in neutral, apply the handbrake, switch off the engine, engage first gear (if the 

tractor has a mechanical transmission) and remove the key from the starter switch. If the tractor is 

not parked on level ground, ALWAYS place chocks under the wheels of both the tractor and the 

trailer For further information on safe working procedures, refer to the chapter 'Parking the tractor' in 
the safe section of this manual.

Operator Protective Structure (OPS)

The term OPS refers to a protective structure installed on a tractor in order to minimize risk of operator injury 

caused by objects penetrating into the operator position area.

This tractor is not equipped with an OPS. If work must be carried out in areas where there is 

a risk of objects entering the driver's platform, consult your dealer before starting work on a suitable 

protective structure the tractor can be equipped with.

Use of Hazardous Substances

European standard EN 15695-1 is applicable to the cabs of agricultural or forestry tractors and self-propelled 

sprayers. The purpose of the standard is to limit the exposure of the operator (driver) to hazardous 
substances when applying plant protection products and liquid fertilisers.

Safe operation of your tractor

The manufacturer of your tractor has made every effort to make it as safe as is humanly possible.

Beyond this point it is the responsibility of the operator to avoid accidents and we ask that you read and 

implement our suggestions for your safety.
Ensure that only trained and competent operators use this tractor and ensure that they are fully conversant 

with the machine and aware of all it's control and safety features.

Operators should not operate a tractor or attached machines if they are not properly trained or if they are 

physically unfit to operate the machine.

To avoid accidents please ensure that the operator wears clothing which will not get entangled in the moving 
parts of the tractor or machine and protect him or her from the elements.

When spraying or using chemicals, please ensure that clothing and protective equipment is worn which 

prevents respiratory or skin problems.

For full details consult the manufacturer of the chemicals.

To avoid lengthy exposure to noise ensure that ear protection is worn.

If adjustment to the tractor or machinery need to be made ensure the tractor or machine are turned off 
beforehand.

Use of certified Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS) is a must while operating a tractor.

Use of seat belt is a must while operating a tractor.

Under all circumstances, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the operator and others near the machine.

Ensure no one is between the tractor and a towed vehicle (trailer or implement).
