STARTING THE TRACTOR
Warn bystanders before starting:
NEVER attempt to mount or dismount from a moving tractor. NEVER jump off a
tractor in any circumstances.
Clean the soles of your shoes and wipe your hands before climbing on. Use
handrails, grip handrails, ladders or steps (as provided) when mounting or
dismounting.
Adjust the seat, fasten the seat belt (where applicable as outlined in this
manual), apply the parking brake and put all controls in neutral before starting
up.
NEVER use control levers as a hand hold and NEVER step on foot controls
when mounting or dismounting.
Mount and dismount properly:
Before starting, Walk all around the tractor and any attached equipment. Make
sure that no one is under it, on it, or close to it. Let other workers and bystanders
know you are starting up and don't start until everyone is clear of the tractor,
implements and towed equipment.
Always use 'three point contact' with the machine, and face the machine when
you mount it. Three point contact means both hands and one foot or one hand
and both feet are in contact with the machine at all times during mounting and
dismounting.
Ensure that all bystanders, particularly children are in a safe position before
starting the engine.
Before starting the engine, make sure there is plenty of ventilation.
Never operate the engine in a closed building. The exhaust fumes may
cause asphyxiation.
KEEP RIDERS OFF TRACTOR
Do not allow riders on the tractor.
Riders on tractor are subject to injury such as being struck by foreign objects and
being thrown off the tractor.
PRECAUTION TO AVOID TIPPING
Do not drive where the tractor could slip or tip.
Driving forward out of a ditch or mired condition could cause tractor to tip over
backward. Back out these situations if possible.
Stay alert for holes and rocks in the terrain, and other hidden hazards.
Slow down before you make a sharp turn.
