MASSEY FERGUSON MF 3700 Series, Operator'S Manual

To avoid injury, take the precautions below:
• Never jump on or off the tractor while it is moving.
• Keep children and any unauthorised staff away from the tractors and all attachments.
• Drive the tractor only using type-approved seats with safety belt.
• Ensure all protections / covers are duly in place.
• Use suitable visual and acoustic warning indications when working on public roads.
• Move to the side of the road before stopping.
• Decrease speed when steering, applying one brake at a time or working on bumpy or dangerous steep

sloping ground.

• Couple brake pedals together when driving on the road.
• Pump on brake pedal to stop on slippery ground.
• Pay attention when towing heavy loads and stopping. Stopping distance increases with speed, weight

of towed load and downhill slope. Towed load, with or without brakes, if too heavy for the type of

tractor or towed at too high a speed could make you lose control of the tractor. Consider overall

equipment and load weight.

• Fix any towed load solely to the approved devices or the vehicle might tip back.
• Engage the parking mechanism (e.g. parking pawl, parking brake).
• Before getting off, stop the engine, move attachment down to the ground and securely engage the

parking mechanism (e.g. parking pawl, parking brake). After that, also remove the key if leaving tractor

unattended. If you leave a gear engaged with engine stopped, tractor movement is NOT inhibited.

• Disable all hydraulic distributors.
• Disengage the PTO.
• Keep away from the PTO or attachments in operation.
• Before any maintenance intervention to the machine, wait until all movements halt.
• This tractor is not designed for use as recreational vehicle.
• The tractor can be equipped with various safety control sensors. Tripping of these sensors establishes

safety operating conditions. Do not try to disable these functions since this might lead to serious danger

and tractor might respond in an unpredictable way.

It is not possible to list all potential risks.
