Prevent collisions between other road users, slow moving
tractors with attachments or towed equipment, and self-
propelled machines on public roads. Frequently check for
traffic from the rear, especially in turns, and use turn signal
lights.
USE OF SAFETY CHAIN
Use headlights, flashing warning lights, and turn signals day
and night. Follow local regulations for equipment lighting
and marking. Keep lighting and marking visible, clean, and in
good working order. Replace or repair lighting and marking
that has been damaged or lost.
While getting ON and OFF the tractor, always face the
tractor. Maintain 3 point contact with steps, handholds,
handrails.
Using the appropriate adapter parts, attach the chain to the
tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location.
Provide only enough slack in the chain to permit turning.
Use extra care in slippery conditions due to mud, snow, or
moisture. Keep steps clean and free of grease or oil. Never
jump while de-boarding the tractor. Never mount or
dismount a moving tractor.
The intended use of tractors when used in forestry
operations is limited to tractor-specific applications like
transport, stationary work such as log splitting, propulsion,
or operating implements with PTO, hydraulic, or electrical
systems.
These are applications where normal operation does not
present a risk of falling or penetrating objects. Any forestry
applications beyond these applications, such as forwarding
and loading, requires fitment of application-specific
components including falling object protective structure
(FOPS) and/or operative protective structures (OPS).
LIMITED USE IN FORESTRY OPERATION
USE SAFETY LIGHT AND DEVICES
A safety chain will help control drawn equipment should it
accidentally separated from the drawbar. Use a chain with a
strength rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of
the towed machine.
