Preventing  accidents  is  the  responsibility  of 
every      equipment      operator.  The  following 
general      safety      precautions      must      be  fully 

understood and followed by every operator of this tractor 
and  its  attachments.    Review  them  frequently  and  NEVER 
TAKE  CHANCES.    BE  CAREFUL  BEFORE,  DURING 
AND 

RIGHT 

AFTER 

USE 

OF 

ANY 

POWERED 

EQUIPMENT. 

ACCIDENTS CAN  BE PREVENTED

.

 

 

1. Study your manual.  Know your tractor before operating 

it.  Take  time  to  operate the  unit  in the safest  manner. 

 

2.  Study  all  attachment  manuals  thoroughly  before  using 

attachments with  tractor.   By  doing  so  you  will  be aware  of 
both  the tractor  and  attachment  capabilities  when  used  as  a 
unit and also the safest manner in which to operate  them. 

 

3.  Always  follow manufacturer's operational suggestions. 

 

4.   Do  not  fill  gasoline  tank  when  engine  is running  or  hot. 

Add  gas  (using  funnel)  only  outdoors  and  when  engine  is 
cool.      KEEP      SMOKERS  AND  FLAMES  AWAY  FROM 
UNIT  WHILE  FUELING.  This  will  help  eliminate  the  pos- 
sibility   of   fire   and/or   explosion   from   spilled  gasoline  or 
fumes. 

 

5.

   

Refuel  tractor  from  t he  Left  side,  the  side  on  which  the 

fuel  tank  is  mounted.    This  is  safer  and  more  convenient 
than  reaching over engine  with fuel  can. 

 

6.  Store  fuel  in  approved  container  out  of  reach  of  child- 
ren.  Do  not  store  fuel  in  the  house.    Gasoline  is  highly  flam-  
mable and the fumes  highly explosive. 

 

7.    Never  wear  loose  clothing  when  operating  unit.    Loose 

clothing  can  get  caught  in  moving parts  and  cause  severe  in- 
juries.  

 

8.   Mount   vehicle,   place   transmission   shift   lever  in  NEU- 

TRAL,   place  P .T.O.  lever  in  OFF   position,  depress  clutch 
pedal  and  set   parking  brake   prior  to  starting  electric  start 
engine. This will prevent starting tractor in gear. 

 

9.   Do  not mount  or  l eave vehicle while  it  is in  motion or  in 
actual  operation,  nor  leave  vehicle  unattended  while engine 
is  running.    Injury  to  the  operator  or  a  tractor  runaway 
could  occur. 

 

10.    Always  shut  off  engine,  place  transmission  lever  in 

NEUTRAL  and  set  parking  brake  whenever  vehicle  is to  be 
left unattended.    Lower  all  attachments  to  the  ground  with 
P.T.O.   lever in   OFF    position    to   prevent   injury   to   by- 
standers. 

 

11.    Never  operate  tractor  with  mower,  snow  caster,  or  any 

other  attachment  having  moving  parts,  when  any  child  or 
another person  is  in  travel  path  or  discharge  area. 

Children 

must not be  allowed  in  or  near  working  areas  when  equip- 
ment  is  being  used.

 

Items  or  objects  such  as  wire,  stones, 

small  toys  and etc.  can  be  ejected at high  velocity  out  of the 
discharge  chute.    Clear  work  area  of  all  objects  which  might 
be picked  up and  thrown. 

 

12.   Always  look  back  to  be  certain  no  one 
is  i n  the  way  before  using  reverse. This  will 
avoid  the  possibility  of  r unning  over  any 
children,  other persons  or  pets  who  might  be  in  the  area  in 
back of  the  vehicle. 

13.  Children  shall  not  be  allowed  to  operate  vehicle at  any 

time.  The  average  child  is  not  capable  of  coping  with    the 
intricacies of operating a  power tool. 

14.    Do  not  allow  adults  to  operate  vehicle  without  proper 

instructions      including  all  safety  instructions.  In  doing  so, 
you  will  be  sure  they  know  how  to  operate  unit  properly 
and  also are aware of  all the safety  precautions. 

15.  Attachments  must  be  lowered  to  the  ground  when  stor- 

ing  tractor.    This  will  prevent  the  attachment  from  being 
dropped accidentally and causing injury. Place  P.T.O. lever in 
OFF position. 

16.  Do not  tow  vehicle. Damage to  the  vehicle could  occur. 

17. Use care when pulling heavy loads. Use only the ap-  

proved draw bar hitch. 

18.  Do  not  carry  passengers. The  passengers  could  fall  off 

the  vehicle and  be injured. 

19.   Keep  tractor  and  attachments free  of  excess  grease and 

oil.  The  unit  will  operate  cooler,  be  easier  to  maintain,  and 
safer to operate. 

20.    Engine  must  be  stopped,  and  P.T.O.  disengaged  when 

cleaning,  servicing,  adjusting,  repairing,  or  installing  attach· 
ments  on tractor.  This  is  necessary  to  avoid  possible  injury 
from  moving parts. 

21.    Always  disconnect  negative  (-)  battery  cable  from 

battery      before  doing  any  work  on  the  electrical  system. 
Reconnect  it LAST  when  work  is  done.  This  is  to  prevent 
shorting  of  electrical  system  and accidental  burns. 

22.   Before   starting   unit   check   to   be  sure 

all

 

guards  and 

safety   devices  are  in  place  and   in  working  condition   and 
P.T.O.  is  in  OFF   position.  This  will help  assure  you  against 
possible injury. 

23.   Do  not  drive  this  unit  on  a  public  thoroughfare  at  any 

time.  The  operator  is  risking  injury  from  passing  vehicles. 
Most  local  ordinances  prohibit  operating  a  unit  such  as  this 
on a  public thoroughfare. 

24.   Do  not  drive  too  close  to  a  creek  or  ditch,  also  be alert 

for  holes  and  other  hazards.  If  you  would  drive  into  any  of 
the above you could  lose control of  the  unit. 

25.    Be  careful      on  slopes,  reduce  speed  and  avoid  sharp 
turns  to  prevent  tipping  or  loss of  control.   Do  not  stop  or 
start suddenly  when going uphill or  downhill. 

26.    Do  not  start  or  operate  vehicle  in an  inside  area,  unless 

area      is  adequately  ventilated.      Engine  exhaust      contains 
carbon  monoxide  fumes, which are very  poisonous. 

27.  Do not operate attachments when transporting vehicle. 

28. Always wear substantial footwear to provide as much 

protection as possible.
