SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before starting the engine of your tractor, make sure all operating controls are in park lock or
neutral position
Operate controls only when seated in the operator’s seat.
Equip your tractor with a ROPS cab or frame for your protection. See your tractor operator’s
manual for correct seat belt usage.
A frequent cause of personal injury or death is persons falling off and being run over. Do not
permit others to ride on your tractor. Only one person, the operator, should be on the machine
when it is in operation.
Before leaving the tractor, stop the engine, put all controls in neutral, engage the parking brake
and remove the key from the ignition.
When using remote hydraulic tractor valves on some tractors, the loader lift and dump cylinders
will continue moving unless the control levers are manually returned to neutral, or until relief
pressure is reached at the ends of piston strokes. Observe the bucket movement and maintain
control with the control levers.
Stop the loader arms gradually when lowering or lifting loads.
Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation. Shift down before you start up or down a hill with
a heavy load. Avoid “free wheeling”.
