SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Practically all service work involves the need to drive
the tractor. The operator's manual, supplied with each
tractor, contains detailed safety precautions relating to
driving, operating, and servicing that tractor. These
precautions are as applicable to the service
technician as they are to the operator and should be
read, understood and practiced by all personnel.
Prior to undertaking any maintenance, repair,
overhaul, dismantling or reassembly operations,
whether within a workshop facility or in the field,
consideration should be given to factors that may
have an effect upon safety, not only upon the
mechanic carrying out the work, but also upon
bystanders.
PERSONAL CONSIDERATIONS
The wrong clothes or carelessness in dress can
cause accidents. Check to see that you are suitable
clothed.
Some jobs require special protective equipment.
Skin Protection
Used motor oil may cause skin cancer. Follow work
practices that minimize the amount of skin exposed
and length of time used oil stays on your skin.
Eye Protection
The smallest eye injury may cause loss of vision.
Injury can be avoided by wearing eye protection
when engaged in chiselling, grinding, discing,
welding, and painting.
Breathing Protection
Fumes, dust, and paint spray are unpleasant and
harmful. These can be avoided by wearing
respiratory protection.
Hearing Protection
Loud noise may damage your hearing, and the
greater the exposure the worse the damage. If the
noise is excessive, wear ear protection.
Lifting Protection
Avoid injury by correctly handling components. Make
sure you are capable of lifting the object. If in doubt
get help.
