INTRODUCTION
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as hard hat, eye protection, heavy gloves, hearing protection, pro-
tective clothing, etc.
Do Not Operate tag
Before you start servicing the tractor, attach a ‘Do Not Operate’ warning tag to the tractor in an area that will be visible.
Hazardous chemicals
If you are exposed to or come in contact with hazardous chemicals you can be seriously injured. The fluids, lubricants,
paints, adhesives, coolant, etc. required for the function of your tractor can be hazardous. They may be attractive
and harmful to domestic animals as well as humans.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) provide information about the chemical substances within a product, safe han-
dling and storage procedures, first aid measures and procedures to be taken in the event of a spill or accidental
release. MSDS are available from your dealer.
Before you service your tractor check the MSDS for each lubricant, fluid, etc. used in this tractor. This information
indicates the associated risks and will help you service the tractor safely. Follow the information in the MSDS, on
manufacturer containers, as well as the information in this manual when servicing the tractor.
Dispose of all fluids, filters, and containers in an environmentally safe manner according to local laws and regulations.
Check with local environmental and recycling centers or your dealer for correct disposal information.
Store fluids and filters in accordance with local laws and regulations. Use only appropriate containers for the storage
of chemicals or petrochemical substances.
Keep out of reach or children or other unauthorized persons.
Additional precautions are required for applied chemicals. Obtain complete information from the manufacturer or
distributor of the chemicals before using them.
Utility safety
When digging or using ground-engaging equipment, be aware of buried cables and other services. Contact your local
utilities or authorities, as appropriate to determine the locations of services.
Make sure the tractor has sufficient clearance to pass in all directions. Pay special attention to overhead power lines
and hanging obstacles. High voltage lines may require significant clearance for safety. Contact local authorities or
utilities to obtain safe clearance distances from high voltage power lines.
Retract raised or extended components, if necessary. Remove or lower radio antennas or other accessories. Should
a contact between the tractor and an electric power source occur, the following precautions must be taken:
• Stop the tractor movement immediately.
• Apply the park brake, stop the engine, and remove the key.
• Check if you can safely leave the cab or your actual position without contact with electrical wires. If not, stay in your
position and call for help. If you can leave your position without touching lines, jump clear of the tractor to make
sure you do not make contact with the ground and the tractor at the same time.
• Do not permit anyone to touch the tractor until power has been shut off to the power lines.
