MOST ACCIDENTS OCCUR BECAUSE OF NEGLECT OR CARELESSNESS.
AVOID NEEDLESS ACCIDENTS BY FOLLOWING ALL OF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED BELOW.
• Machinery should be operated only by those who
are responsible and are authorized to do so.
• Stop the engine, lower all equipment, lock the
brakes, and remove the ignition key before dis-
mounting from the tractor.
• Never stand between tractor and implement while
tractor is being backed to hitch.
• Loose fitting clothing should not be worn, to avoid
catching on various parts.
• Detach implement in area where children normally
do not play.
• When performing adjustments or maintenance on
an implement, first lower it to the ground or block it
securely at a workable height.
• Only a qualified operator should be permitted on
tractor when in operation; no riders allowed.
• Make certain everyone is in the clear before starting
tractor or raising or lowering equipment.
• Operate the tractor and implement only while
seated in the driver’s seat.
• Reduce speed when transporting mounted
implements to avoid bouncing and momentary loss
of steering control.
• A heavy load can cause instability of the tractor.
Use extreme care during road travel. Slow down on
turns and watch out for bumps. Tractor may need
front counter-weights to counter-balance the weight
of the implement.
• Reduce speed on hillsides or curves so there is no
danger of tipping.
• Avoid driving too close to the edge of ditches or
creeks.
• Do not transport implement on public roads without
reflectors and slow moving vehicle emblem in
daylight and with approved warning lights at night
and other periods of poor visibility.
• Due to the width of some implements, use extra
caution on highways, farm roads, and when
approaching gates.
• Always be sure the implement is in the proper
position for transport.
• Keep alert and watch the front as well as the rear
when working with the implement.

requiring lubrication, such as gearboxes, are full, to
avoid any possible damage.
