Emergency Procedures
1.
In case of a brake failure, hold the steering wheel firmly, wait until the tractor has come to a complete stop
and then shut down the engine.
2.
If the steering malfunctions, brake immediately and shut down the engine.
3.
If fire should occur, immediately shut down the engine and get off the tractor. If a fire extinguisher
is available, put out the flames at the source of the flame. If a fire extinguisher is not available, use sand or
another non-flammable substance to fight the fire.
4.
After any safety incident, immediately dial any necessary emergency services (hospital, fire department)
according to the situation and administer first-aid as necessary.
WARNING:
1.
Always operate the tractor in a safe and responsible manner to avoid injury and possible death.
2.
Pay special attention to any obstacles that may impede progress or cause an accident before starting the
tractor. Also check for obstacles and impediments that may be covered by the tractor, an implement or
a trailer.
3.
Never leave the driver’s seat to start and operate the tractor. Prior to the startup, make sure that various shift
levers are in the neutral position, the throttle lever and the front drive control handle are disengaged, and
the lifter operating handle is in neutral to prevent the sudden start up of accessories.
4.
Do not start the engine by bridging-over the starter solenoid. If you do this, the tractor could lose control
and cause a dangerous situation, which could lead to injury or death.
5.
Make sure that the pedals are free from obstacles and able to move unhindered to their home position.
Never keep anything on the floor or around the pedals that could obstruct pedal travel. An extra foot
blanket or non-standard floor mats should not be used as they can hinder pedal movement and cause
serious injury or damage.
6.
Never get on or off the tractor while it is in motion.
7.
Never climb under the tractor while the engine is running.
8.
Always remove the keys, set all shift levels to neutral, and lock the auxiliary brake handle before exiting
the cab to avoid accidental start up and to keep the tractor from moving unattended.
9.
Keep your speed under control at all times. Brake prior to turning in order to maintain your load and
avoid tipping.
10.
When crossing or going under a bridge or going through a tunnel, pay full attention to the load height.
11.
Use the lowest gear with the clutch enabled on a down slope. Never put the tractor in neutral and coast
downhill as this can cause instability. Never change gears on a down slope as this can cause instability and
a possible rollover.
12.
Avoid sudden turns at high speed or using unilateral braking to turn as this can result in instability.
13.
When driving on roads, obey all local traffic indicators and laws.
14.
Keep a safe distance between the tractor and any other vehicles that may be on the road.
15.
Roadbeds along the ditch line tend to be more fragile. Pay special attention to the weight of your vehicle
when riding on the road shoulder.
16.
Never overload the tractor. Running the tractor over the specified limits can cause damage to the tractor and
can result in injury.
17.
When driving at night, make sure that you have proper lighting to avoid any collisions.
18.
When working in tall grass or hay, a spark-extinguishing device must be affixed to the exhaust pipe to
avoid accidental fires.
19.
Always slow down when working in wet or rainy conditions to avoid slippage and instability.
