Features designed into your tractor make operation safer
and let it perform a wide variety of jobs. Use your tractor
only for specified jobs it was designed to perform:
implement carrier, load mover, remote power source, or
transport unit—not a recreational vehicle.
Careless use or misuse can result in unnecessary
accidents. Be alert to hazards of tractor operation.
Understand causes of accidents and take every
precaution to avoid them. Most common accidents are
caused from:
•
Tractor upsets
•
Improper starting procedures
•
Crushing and pinching during hitching
•
Collisions with other motor vehicles
•
Getting entangled in PTO shafts
•
Falls from tractors
Avoid accidents by taking the following precautions:
•
Put transmission in neutral (N) and set brakes before
dismounting. Leaving transmission in gear with engine
stopped will NOT prevent the tractor from moving.
•
Be sure everyone is clear of tractor and attached
equipment before starting engine.
•
Never try to get on or off a moving tractor.
•
When tractor is left unattended, place in neutral (N), set
brakes, lower implements to the ground, stop the
engine, and remove the key.
