INTRODUCTION
Electrical storm safety
Do not operate tractor during an electrical storm.
If you are on the ground during an electrical storm, stay away from machinery and equipment. Seek shelter in a
permanent, protected structure.
If an electrical storm should strike during operation, remain in the cab. Do not leave the cab or operator’s platform.
Do not make contact with the ground or objects outside the tractor.
Mounting and dismounting
Mount and dismount the tractor only at designated locations that have handholds, steps, or ladders.
Do not jump off the tractor.
Make sure steps, ladders, and platforms remain clean and clear of debris and foreign substances. Injury may result
from slippery surfaces.
Face the tractor when mounting and dismounting.
Maintain a three-point contact with steps, ladders, and handholds.
Never mount or dismount from a moving tractor.
Do not use the steering wheel or other controls or accessories as handholds when entering or exiting the cab or
operator’s platform.
Working at heights
When the normal use and maintenance of the tractor requires working at heights:
• Correctly use installed steps, ladders, and railings.
• Never use ladders, steps, or railings while the tractor is moving.
• Do not stand on surfaces which are not designated as steps or platforms.
Do not use the tractor as a lift, ladder, or platform for working at heights.
Lifting and overhead loads
Never use loader buckets, forks, etc. or other lifting, handling, or digging equipment to lift persons.
Do not use raised equipment as a work platform.
Know the full area of movement of the tractor and equipment and do not enter or permit anyone to enter the area of
movement while the tractor is in operation.
Never enter or permit anyone to enter the area underneath raised equipment. Equipment and/or loads can fall unex-
pectedly and crush persons underneath it.
Do not leave equipment in raised position while parked or during service, unless securely supported. Hydraulic cylin-
ders must be mechanically locked or supported if they are left in a raised position for service or access.
Loader buckets, forks, etc. or other lifting, handling, or digging equipment and its load will change the center of gravity
of the tractor. This can cause the tractor to tip on slopes or uneven ground.
Load items can fall off the loader bucket or lifting equipment and crush the operator. Care must be taken when lifting
a load. Use proper lifting equipment.
Do not lift load higher than necessary. Lower loads to transport. Remember to leave appropriate clearance to the
ground and other obstacles.
Equipment and associated loads can block visibility and cause an accident. Do not operate with insufficient visibility.
