be stationary with the engine running, keep the gear
and range levers in the neutral position, apply the
handbrake and use suitable wheel chocks.
J Do not operate machines connected to the power
take--off without first ensuring that the operating
range of the machine is free of bystanders.
Also check that all rotating parts connected to the
power take--off shaft are correctly protected.
J Add rear ballast when using lifting equipment

nected implements in the raised position. All imple-
ments must be lowered before stopping the engine.

tor into gear and apply the handbrake. On slopes, in
addition to applying the handbrake, put the tractor in
first gear when facing uphill and first reverse gear
when facing downhill. As an additional safety
measure, use wheel chocks (available as an op-
tional);
this procedure is compulsory when parking with a
