- Handle all parts with the utmost care. Keep your hands and fingers well away from gaps, wheelwork and
similar. Always use approved personal protection devices such as safety goggles, gloves and safety foot-
wear.
Starting
- Do not allow the engine to run in a closed room without adequate ventilation systems able to dispose of
the exhaust gas.
- Never put your head, body, limbs, feet, hands or fingers near spinning fans or belts.
Engine
- Before removing the radiator plug completely, turn it very slowly to relieve the pressure in the circuit.
Coolant fluid must only be topped up with the engine at a standstill or idling, if hot.
- Do not refuel whilst the engine is running, particularly if it is hot. This could lead to the risk of a fire out-
break if fuel were to be spilt.
- Do not attempt to check or adjust the tension of the fan belts with the engine running.
Do not regulate the fuel injection pump whilst the machine is on the move.
- Never lubricate the machine when the engine is running.
Electrical systems
- If auxiliary batteries must be used, remember that the cables must be connected in the prescribed way
at both ends: (+) with (+) and (-) with (-). Do not short-circuit the terminals. THE GAS ISSUED BY BAT-
TERIES IS HIGHLY INFLAMMABLE. Always leave the battery compartment uncovered when recharging,
to ensure a more efficient ventilation. Never ever check the battery charge using the "jumpers" obtained
by placing metal objects on the terminals. Prevent sparks or flames in the battery area. Do not smoke as
this could cause explosions.
- Before proceeding with any work, make sure that there are no fuel or electricity leaks: repair these leaks
before proceeding.
- Do not recharge batteries in closed places: make sure that there is adequate ventilation to prevent acci-
dental explosions from occurring due to an accumulation of the gas issued when recharging.
- Always disconnect the batteries before working on the electrical system.
Hydraulic circuits
- Fluid leaking from a very small hole can be almost invisible yet have sufficient force to penetrate under
the skin. Use a piece of cardboard or wood if you must check for such leaks. NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS
WITH THE HANDS: immediately seek medical help if fluid penetrates under the skin. Serious infections
or dermatitis may occur if you fail to receive prompt medical treatment.
- Use the right tools to check the pressure in the circuits.
Before you get on to the tractor, it is essential for you to have read and strictly
complied with the instructions in the operation and maintenance manual.
