SAFETY - TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT

[4.2.a]

•

The tractor is a source of mechanical and hydraulic power.

•

This Operator’s Manual is compiled to cover safe working practices that are associated with the basic trac-
tor operation.

•

It does not cover all operation and safety instructions relevant to all known implements and attachments that
may be fitted to your tractor in the future.

•

All implements connected to the tractor must bear the CE mark (Europe only). All equipment to be connected
must be accompanied by a operation and maintenance handbook, to be read before assembling and using the
equipment.

•

It is essential that operators use and understand the relevant Operator’s Manual which accompany such im-
plements and attachments not treated in this book.

•

The above mentioned tractor is not suitable for forestry.

SAFETY - ADVICE FOR THE OPERA-
TOR

It is

YOUR

responsibility to read and understand the sa-

fety section in this manual before operating your tractor.
You must follow these safety instructions that take you
step by step through your working day. DO NOT USE THE
MACHINE IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS:

In reading this section, you will note that illustrations have
been used to highlight certain situations. Each illustration
is numbered and the same number appears in the text
in parenthesis. This reference number is composed of
two digits separated by a dash: the first digit before the
dash identifies the section, the second one the progres-
sive number of the picture in the section. (e.g. Fig.2-34 =
Figure 34 of Section 2).
In further sections (Section 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) the figures
are not numbered, as each figure is placed beside the
relative text. Reference to components in the text have
progressive numbers (1, 2 , 3, etc.) to immediately identify
the figure they refer to.

Remember that

YOU

are the only key to safety. Good

safety practices not only protect you, but also the people
around you. Study the features in this manual and make
them a working part of your safety program.

SAFETY - INTRODUCTION

This safety section of your Operator Instruction Book is
intended to point out some of the basic danger situations
that may be encountered during the normal operation and
maintenance of your tractor, and to suggest possible ways
of dealing with these situations. This section is

NOT

replacement for other safety practices featured in other
sections of this book.

Additional precautions may be needed according to the
implements used and to work conditions in the field or
in repair or maintenance areas. The Manufacturer of the
tractor has no direct control over application, operation,
inspection, lubrication or maintenance of utility tractor.
Implementation of correct safety practices in such areas
is therefore

YOUR

own responsibility.
