    Safety Precautions • Use low gear on hills Shift to a low gear before descending a steep hill. This improves your control of the tractor with little or no braking. Use engine braking to reduce speed before applying the tractor brakes. Run-away tractors often tip over. Never coast downhill.
  • Page 14 Safety Precautions Before moving, clear the area of people. Apply power smoothly to take up the slack. A sudden pull could snap any towing equipment causing it to whip or recoil dangerously. • Avoid high-pressure fluids Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.

Within the cab, wear personal protective equipment as required by the hazardous chemical safety instructions.
  • Page 17 Safety Precautions • Safety chains A safety chain will help control towed equipment should it accidentally separate from the drawbar. Using the appropriate adapter parts, attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Provide only enough slack in the chain to permit turning. See your DongFeng dealer for a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of the towed machine.

    Safety Precautions • Keep ROPS installed properly Make certain all parts are reinstalled correctly if the roll- over protective structure (ROPS) is loosened or removed for any reason. Tighten mounting bolts to proper torque. The protection offered by ROPS will be impaired if ROPS is subjected to structural damage, is involved in an overturn incident, or is in any way altered by welding, bending, drilling, or cutting.
  • Page 19 Safety Precautions • Service cooling system safely Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling system can cause serious burns. If radiator cap must be removed, do not remove when engine is hot. Shut engine off and wait until cap is cool enough to touch with bare hands.
  • Page 20 Safety Precautions • Remove paint before welding or heating Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust. Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is heated by welding, soldering, or using a torch. Do all work outside or in a well ventilated area. Dispose of paint and solvent properly.
  • Page 21 Safety Precautions • Prevent acid burns Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is strong enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing, and cause blindness if splashed into eyes. Avoid the hazard by: 1. Filling batteries in a well-ventilated area. 2.

    Safety Precautions • Dispose of waste properly Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the environment and ecology.
