Section A. Safety precautions Belarus- 510/512 —Operating manual

•
Before lifting and lowering an agri-
cultural implement, as well as when mak-
ing turns, make sure that there is no
hazard to hit someone or run over an
obstacle.
•
During transport journeys with
mounted machines or implements, al-
ways use the mount lock in the raised
position (for tractors with an autonomous
power cylinder).
•
The driveshaft transmitting rota-
tion from the tractor PTO shaft to the ag-
gregated tools of the unit must be guard-
ed.
•
Ensure the correct installation of
any additional equipment or auxiliary de-
vices, and make sure that they are de-
signed for use with your tractor. Remem-
ber that your tractor, if improperly used,
can be dangerous both for you and for
other persons. Do not use equipment
that is not intended for installation on the
tractor.
•
To avoid a tipover, exercise cau-
tion when driving the tractor. Choose a
safe speed appropriate to road condi-
tions, especially when driving on rough
terrains, when driving over ditches,
slopes and making sharp turns.
•
When working on slopes, increase
the tractor wheel track to the maximum.
•
Do not make sharp turns with a
full load and at a high speed.
•
When using the tractor for trans-
portation works:
−
increase the tractor wheel truck to
1,800 mm (70") min.;
−
interlock the brake pedals, check
and adjust as necessary the brakes for
simultaneous action;
−
check operation of the parking
brake;
−
check the condition of light and
sound signal equipment;
−
transportation trailers must have a
solid connection and, in addition, con-
nect a safety chain or rope;
−
never drive downhill by coasting
(out of gear), drive at the same gear both
downhill and uphill;
−
do not work with a trailer without in-
dependent brakes if its weight exceeds
half of the total actual weight of the trac-
tor. The faster you drive and the greater
is the towed weight, the greater must be
the safe distance;
−
disconnect the FDA in order to
avoid excessive wear of the drive parts
and tires;
−
do not use the rear axle DL at a
speed exceeding 10 km/h and when
making turns;
−
the PTO must be off and the simul-
taneous/independent drive shifter arm
must be in the neutral position;
−
do not stop the tractor on slopes. If
you want to stop, engage the 1st gear
and fully engage the parking brake.
•
When working with equipment
driven from the PTO, disengage the PTO
before disconnecting the equipment,
stop the diesel engine, make sure the
PTO shaft end is fully stopped.
•
Do not wear loose clothing when
working with the PTO or near rotating
equipment.
•
When working with stationary ma-
chines driven from the PTO, always en-
gage the parking brake and chock rear
wheels from the front and from the rear.
Make sure that the machine is reliably
secured.
•
Make sure that the PTO shaft end
guard is installed, and when the PTO is
not used, install the PTO shaft end cap
to place.
