2.1.4  Safety instruction

2.1.4.1  Forestry Applications

Standard tractors do not offer sufficient protection against forestry application risks such as trees or

branches falling on the protection structure and penetration of objects into the protection structure.

2.1.4.2  Precautions before starting

Before starting the engine, make sure all controls are set to neutral position, especially the power take-off

lever. Start the engine only in well ventilated environment. Before starting the tractor, ensure that nobody is

standing nearby. Completely loosen the hand brake before moving off. Do not approach any job if tractor

conditions are not satisfactory.

2.1.4.3  Wear safety gear

Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate for the job. Operator's full attention is

required to work in safety conditions. Do not wear earphones for radio or music when operating the

machine. DO NOT wear loose clothes, jewels or other objects and gather up your hair, if long, since it could

get entangled in the controls or other tractor parts.

2.1.4.4  Noise protections

Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing. To protect yourself against loud

noise, use a suitable ear protector such as earmuffs or ear plugs.

2.1.4.5  Proper use of steps and hand grips

To avoid any fall, always face the machine when getting on and off. Keep 3 support points using steps and

handrail. Never hold onto machine controls. Be extremely careful when mud, snow or humidity create

slippery conditions. Keep steps clean and free from oil or grease. Never jump off the machine. Never jump

on or off the vehicle while it is moving.
