Safety notes
Do not start the tractor without ensuring a perfect com-
mand of speed and steering controls (Fig.2-14).
•
Before starting, inspect the work area to establish
the best and safest procedure. Plan your work
so that you drive as straight as possible forward.
Beware of trenches, pits, ditches, slopes, trunks
or stumps, ponds etc. Watch for any possibly
dangerous condition. If you are using a front loader
or foldable implements or implements with high
components, watch out for obstacle in the tractor's
way.
WARNING: Accidental contact with high-volta-
ge lines causes death. In case of contact with
high-voltage conductors DO NOT leave the
tractor, but move the tractor and/or the loader
in such a way as to eliminate the contact and
reach a safe distance (Fig.2-15).

WORKING IN SAFETY
WARNING: An unbalanced tractor could over-
turn and cause injury or death. If required, put
ballast weights on their front support and on
rear wheels as described in this section of the
Operation chapter. Ballast weights must be used
according to the manufacturer’s directions.
NEVER add extra counterweights to compen-
sate for an overload. It is better to reduce the
load.
WARNING: Keep all parts of your body inside
the operator's compartment while operating
the tractor.
Follow the rules when using your tractor.
Be sure the tractor is ready for the job on hand. Learn the
rated loads by heart and never exceed them. Make sure
that any implement or equipment you are going to use
does NOT exceed the load capacity of your tractor. Check
that the coupling PTO shaft/implement is correct (see the
Technical Specifications section for mass data).
Keep in mind that tractors normally operate on uneven,
unpaved, and often bumpy or sloping surfaces. Operating
conditions can reduce the amount of weight you should
carry or pull.
Follow safe operating practices
•
Operate the controls smoothly - don't jerk the steering
wheel or other controls.
•
DO NOT get on or off a moving tractor. Keep a firm
grip on the steering wheel at all times, with the thumbs
clear of the spokes when driving the tractor.
•
Always use specific personal safety devices for each
operation.
•
Make sure you have adequate clearance in all direc-
tions for tractor, cab, asfety frame and implement.
•
NEVER play games with a tractor or equipment.
•
NEVER attempt to work the controls except from the
operator's seat.
•
Before getting off the tractor, always disengage the
PTO, lower all attachments and implements to the
ground, place the tractor in neutral, engage parking
brake, shut off the engine and remove the key.
•
NEVER attempt to work the controls except from the
operator’s seat.
•
Carry out the following operations before leaving the
tractor: engage the first gear, engage the parking
brake, turn the engine off and remove the ignition
key.
As an alternative, if the tractor is to be used as a
fixed power unit, before leaving the tractor shift the
gear to neutral, engage the parking brake and make
sure there are no people within the operating range
of the machine.
