battery and perform services according to the service schedule.
2. Ensure tire pressure are even and the correct pressure for the job being done is maintained.
3. Check to ensure that the all controls and preventative mechanisms of the tractor and implement work
correctly and effectively.

Do not carry out service work on a tractor until it is switched off, and the parking brake applied and
wheels choked.
Where a tractor is started in a confined area, ensure that the area is well ventilated as exhaust gases
are very harmful, and can cause death.
6. Do not work under raised implements.
7. When changing wheels or tires ensure that a suitable wheel stand is placed under the axle prior to
removing the wheel and the wheels are chocked.
8. Where guards or shields need to be removed to perform a service or repair, ensure that the guard or
shield is correctly reinstalled before starting the tractor.
9. Never refuel near a naked flame or with an overheated engine. Ensure to turn off Engine before
refueling.
10. The cooling system operates under pressure, take care when removing the radiator cap on a hot
engine to prevent being scalded by steam or hot water. Do not add water in the radiator when the
engine is hot. Add water to the radiator only after the engine cools down completely.
11. To prevent fires keep the tractor including the engine clean and free from inflammable material and
well away from fuels and other inflammable material.
