General Safety
1. Never let an unqualified or untrained driver operate the utility vehicle.
2. Keep a fire extinguisher, with ABC rating securely fastened in the ROPS. Maintain it and be
familiar with its use.
3. Do not carry passengers.
4. Never operate the utility vehicle in a closed building for a prolonged period. Ensure adequate
ventilation is present, as engine exhaust fumes are poisonous and can kill.
5. Always keep sleeves, jackets or other loose clothing relatively tight and belted. Loose clothing
may catch on moving parts and result in severe personal injury or death.
6. Provide a first-aid kit, securely attached inside of the ROPS for use in case of accident.
7. Never jump from the utility vehicle. There is a danger of tripping or falling on protruding
parts.
8. Use steps and hand holds when mounting and dismounting the utility vehicle, or for servicing
components too high to reach from the ground.
9. When seated in the ROPS, fasten seat belt before starting the engine. A proper seat belt must
be worn at all times when using a ROPS.
10. Safety devices and shields are intended to protect operators from injury or death. Under no
circumstances should they be modified, disabled or removed.
Operating Safety
1. Always operate the utility vehicle controls while sitting in the operator's seat.
2. Lock seat in position and buckle seat belt before operating the utility vehicle.
3. Avoid abrupt sharp turns at high speeds.
4. On sloped terrain, do not make sharp turns as machine stability could be compromised.
5. Operate the utility vehicle smoothly, avoid abrupt starts and stops.
6. Keep all shields in place when operating the utility vehicle.
7. Do not operate the utility vehicle when you are tired, sick, or impaired.
8. Never operate the utility vehicle in confined areas; visibility next to the tractor is reduced.
Injury to bystanders or damage to the ROPS or equipment may result.
Safety
Carefully review the procedures given in this manual and the utility vehicle operator's manual
with all operators annually. It is important that all operators become familiar with, and follow
safety precautions. Operating instructions must be given to everyone using the tractor before
operation and at least once yearly thereafter in compliance with OSHA Regulations 1928.57
(United States).
