2.6.4 Checking the tractor
Check the tractor and ensure that all systems are in good operational condition before beginning the
working day. Pay particular attention to the points mentioned below.
• Check for loose, broken, missing or damaged parts. Ensure that everything has been properly repaired.
• Check that the seat belt is in good condition. If it is not, replace it.
• Check that implements are correctly installed.
• Check that the PTO output speed is in keeping with the implement PTO input speed.
• Ensure that all PTO shaft locking devices are engaged.
• Ensure that the tractor PTO guard and the shaft guards are in place and operating correctly.
• Check to ensure that the tractor is correctly balanced.
WARNING:
An unbalanced tractor could overturn and cause serious injury or death.
Ensure that front frame counterweights, wheel weights and wheel ballasts are used as
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not add extra counterweights to compensate
for an overloaded tractor; the load must be reduced instead.
• Check the condition and pressure of tires (absence of cuts and bulges). Replace worn or damaged tires.
• Check the correct operation of the brake pedals and the parking brake. Adjust if necessary.
• Check the hydraulic system for the tractor and the implement as well as the tractor fuel system:
Correct tightening of all the unions; no damage to the lines, pipes and hoses; hydraulic systems do not
cross one another.
