4.2.6 Precautions when driving
-
Tractor handling, stability, performance and
braking efficiency are all affected by weight
distribution, trailed or mounted implements,
additional ballast and driving conditions. It is
therefore of great importance that the operator
exercises caution in every given situation.
-
Groundspeed must be adapted to ground
conditions as well as to roads and paths. Always
avoid abrupt changes of direction.
- Be particularly cautious when turning corners,
paying attention to machine overhang, length,
height and weight.
- Never use a narrow track tractor on very uneven or
steeply sloping ground.
- Never leave the tractor seat while the machine is
operating.
- Carrying people or animals on the machine when
working or in transport is strictly forbidden.
4.2.7 Precautions to take before using the
machine
- Do not wear loose clothing which could become
caught up in moving parts.
- Wear the appropriate protective clothing for the
work in hand (gloves, shoes, goggles, helmet, ear
defenders, etc.).
- Ensure that all operating controls (ropes, cables,
rods, etc) are placed so as they cannot be
operated unintentionally and cause damage or
injury.
- Before operating the machine, check tightness of
nuts and bolts, particularly on fixing elements
(tines, forks, blades, knives, etc). Retighten if
necessary.
- Before operating the machine, ensure that all the
safety guards are firmly in place and in good
condition. Immediately replace any worn or
damaged guard.
