Prepare for safe operation

Protect yourself
Wear all the protective clothing and personal safety
devices issued to you or called for by job conditions.
Don't take chances (Fig. 5).
You may need:
*A hard hat.
*Safety glasses, goggles, or face shield.
*Hearing protection.
*Respirator or filter mask.
*Foul weather clothing.
*Reflective clothing.
*Heavy gloves (neoprene for chemicals, leather for
rough work).
*Safety boots.
DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry or other items
and tie up long hair which could entangle in controls
or other parts of the tractor.
Note where fire extinguishers and first-aid or
emergency equipment is kept and get to know where
to find help in a hurry. Make sure you know how to
use this equipment (Fig. 6).
Know your equipment
Know your tractor. Know how to operate all equipment
on your machine and the implements and attachments
used with it. Know the purpose of all the controls,
gauges and dials. Know the rated load capacity,
speed range, braking and steering characteristics,
turning radius, and operating clearances. Keep in
mind that rain, snow, ice, loose gravel, soft ground,
etc. can change the way your tractor operates.
Under poor conditions, slow down and be extra
careful, engage power front axle, if fitted.
Study the DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION safety
signs on your tractor and the information signs also.
