General operating hazards
*Ensure that the PTO shield (1) is in place and
that the PTO cap (2) is fitted when the PTO driveline
is not in use (Fig. 18).
*Before attaching, detaching, cleaning or adjusting
PTO driven implements, disengage the PTO, stop
the engine, remove the key, and make sure that
the PTO driveline has stopped.
*Ensure that all the PTO driveline guards are in
place and observe all safety de cals (Fig. 19).
*Be sure everyone is clear of your machine before
engaging the PTO. For stationary PTO operation,
always place transmission in neutral, engage
parking brake, and chock both tractor and
implement wheels.
*When operating mobile PTO driven equipment,
DO NOT leave the tractor seat until the PTO drive
is disengaged, the transmission is in neutral, the
parking brake is engaged, the engine shut off and
the key removed.
*DO NOT use PTO adaptors, reducers or
extensions as they extend the PTO c oupler and
universal joint out beyond the protection offered
by the PTO shield.
*The top link and lift rods must not be extended
beyond the point where threads begin to show.
DANGER: DO NOT attempt to unplug
the hydraulic connections, or adjust
an impl ement with the engine running
or the PTO drive in operation. To do
so may result in very serious injury or death.
*When using chemicals, carefully follow the chemical
manufacturer's instructions for use, storage and
disposal. Also follow the chemical application
equipment manufacturer's instructions.
*When operating under poor visibility conditions, or
in the dark, use your tractor field lights and reduce
your ground speed. DO NOT use your field lights
when travelling on a roadway because rear pointed
white lights may be illegal except when reversing
and may confuse following drivers.
*Operate your tractor with the wheels set at the widest
setting possible, consistent with the particular task
you are performing. To adjust wheel settings refer to
Maintenance and Adjustment section.
*Reduce your speed when operating over rough or
slippery ground and when foliage restricts your view
of hazards.
*DO NOT make sharp turns at high speed.
