DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT
Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and
precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the
weight of the implement and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport. To ensure safety while
driving the tractor with an attached implement, review the following. OPS-U- 0012
Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil and
fuel are explosive and their presence could present a hazard. Do not
check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams from breaks in
the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage including gangrene. To check for
a hose leak, SHUT the tractor ENGINE OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil
impenetrable gloves, safety glasses and use Cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If
you suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer. If oil does penetrate
the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a physician knowledgeable and skilled in
this procedure.
(SG-15)
Attention: Oil Filler Cap is also the Pressure Relief Cap.
Remove cap slowly to relieve pressure before removing cap completely. Stay clear to pre-
vent being scalded with hot oil that may spray out of the tank that is still pressurized and may
cause serious injury to eyes, face, and exposed skin.
(Ops-0001-MISC)
Avoid contact with hot surfaces including hydraulic oil tanks, pumps, motors, valves and
hose connections. Relieve hydraulic pressure before performing maintenance or repairs.
Use gloves and eye protection when servicing hot components. Contact with a hot surface
or fluid can cause serious injury from burns or scalding.
(SG-34)
Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and
completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and
each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and
Implement. Learn how to stop the tractor engine suddenly in an emergency. Never allow
inexperienced or untrained personnel to operate the Tractor and Implement without
supervision. Make sure the operator has fully read and understood the manuals prior to
operation.
