Safety
Precautions
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
dismounting tractor.
• Never stand between tractor and implement
while tractor is being backed to a hitch. Loose
fitting clothing should not be worn, to avoid
catching on various parts.
• Detach implement in an area where children
normally do not play.
• When performing adjustments or
maintenance on an implement, lower it to the
ground or block it securely at a workable
height.
•
Only a qualified operator should be permitted
on the tractor when in operation; no riders
allowed.
•
Make certain everyone is in the clear before
starting tractor or raising / 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 caution during road
travel. Slow down on turns and watch for
bumps. Tractor may need front
counter-weights to counter-balance the
weight of the implement.
• Reduce speed on hillsides or curves to avoid
possibility 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 transporting.
• Keep alert and watch the front, as well as the
rear, when working with the implement.
