SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety and accident prevention regulations WARNING: Before every operation, check the tractor for road worthiness and operational safety. Carefully read the Manual and observe all safety instructions. Safety signs on the machine must be replaced if damaged or lost. General safety and accident prevention regulations Driving the tractor Text-module 1.Driving speed must always be adapted to the current situation. Avoid sudden cornering when driving uphill or downhill, or across gradients. Disengage the differential lock when cornering. Never disengage the clutch to shift gears when travelling downhill! 2.Make sure all trailers and implements are properly hitched.
Driving characteristics, steering and braking are affected by mounted implements, trailers and ballast weight. Therefore, always ensure that there is adequate steering and braking capacity. 3.Observe the maximum permissible gross vehicle weight, axle loads and tyre load capacity, especially if heavy implements are attached. 4.When negotiating bends with implements connected or hitched up, always allow for the overhang and oscillating weight of the implement. 1.Follow the general safety and accident prevention regulations, as well as the safety information in this manual. 2.When driving on public roads, follow the usual traffic regulations!
3.Before starting work, familiarise yourself with all operating controls and their functions. Don't wait until after you have started working! 4.Start the engine from the driver seat only. Do not attempt to start by shorting across the starter terminals, as this can cause the tractor to move immediately! 5.Before starting up, check the area is clear (e.g. children). Ensure that nothing obstructs vision. 6.Never leave the engine running in a confined space! 7.The driver should wear close-fitting clothing. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments! 8.Take extra care when handling fuel - serious fire hazard. Never re-fuel in the presence of sparks or naked flames. Do not smoke when re-fuelling.
9.Before re-fuelling, turn off the engine and remove the ignition key. Do not re-fuel in confined spaces. Clean up spillages immediately! 10.To avoid fire hazard, keep the tractor clean. 11.Beware of leaking brake fluid and battery acid (these are toxic and corrosive). Text-module ETNum-list Front loader operation 1.Never allow anyone to stand in the hazard area, or within the working range of the front loader. Keep the area clear of bystanders at all times. Do not operate the front loader unless there is a clear view of the entire working area - illuminate the area if necessary. 2.It is not permitted to use the standard loader (as supplied) as a working platform.
If using the loader with a special working platform, additional safety measures are required. 3.Do not handle round bales, pallets etc. unless the loader is suitably equipped for this purpose. If loading objects that cannot be secured and may fall off, do not use the front loader unless the driving seat is protected by a robust canopy.
