Mounting and demounting implements
1. Ensure that all assembly and disassembly of implements (attachments) is carried out on a secure,
level surface. To prevent accidental injuries, ensure that no one is between the tractor and the
implement or under the implement.
2. After mounting the implement, ensure that all hanging parts such as chains or hoses are properly
secured and, where PTOs are used, properly fastened and secured.
3. Where heavy implements are used, ensure that the unit is well balanced, using suitable ballast to
ensure this balance.
4. Before leaving the tractor, lower the implement onto the ground, deactivate the PTO, apply the
parking brake and stop the engine.
5. When working with an implement that uses PTO, make sure that no other persons are near the
moving parts and do not make any modifications to the implement while the machine is in operation.
6. A tractor equipped with a ROPS protective frame only performs its function in combination with
a fastened seat belt.
7. If children are present in the immediate vicinity of the machine or unit, caution and anticipation of
possible risks related to the movement and operation of the machine are necessary.
8. The tractor may only be used by trained operators who must ensure that no worker is injured. Extra
caution is necessary in dusty environment with significantly reduced visibility.
9. Never start the tractor unless the transmission is in the neutral position, the operator is in the driver's
seat, and there is no other danger when the engine is started up.
10. Only the operator sitting in the driver's seat can operate the tractor. Never turn or brake suddenly at
high speed, as this may cause the tractor to roll over, resulting in serious injury or death.
11. When driving on public roads, observe all legal requirements of the country in which the tractor is
operated, including the requirements for accompaniment. When driving with wide implements, use the
warning devices specified by the applicable legislation in the country in which the machine is used.
12. When operating under adverse conditions, in hilly or bad terrain, adjust the speed of the tractor to the
following conditions:
Never drive down the hill rashly or with the transmission in the neutral position.
Use engine braking capability together with service brakes.
Do not attempt to shift gears in a steep slope and engage a suitable gear before starting to drive the
tractor.
13. When driving uphill with a heavy implement, be careful to prevent overloading and loss of front axle
adhesion and consequent loss of control.
14. Never remove or modify the seat belt.
15. Never remove, modify or repair the ROPS protective frame.
Please remember that a little bit of extra care can prevent serious injury or teath and avoid
damage to your tractor.
