1.10.9 Towing with the tractor

Safety measures for towing
For equipment without brakes, do not tow equipment:
• At speeds above 32 km/h.
• Or in cases where, when fully loaded, it has a mass (weight) greater than 1.5 times the mass (weight) of
the tractor.
For equipment with brakes, do not tow equipment:
• At speeds above 40 km/h;
• Or in cases where, when fully loaded, it has a mass (weight) greater than 4.5 times the mass (weight)
of the tractor.
NOTE: The tractor requires appropriate braking equipment to be installed in the trailer used.
The braking distance increases with the speed and the weight of towed loads, and on hills and sloping
terrain.
Towed loads with or without brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or towed very quickly can cause loss
of control of the equipment. Consider the total weight of the equipment and its load.

1.10.10 Noise level

When the tractor is operated in total or partial load conditions, the operator is exposed to continuous or
intermittent noise of more than 85 db, measured in line with the procedures described in ABNT NBR 9999.
In accordance with the legislation in force, NR 31, (Order No. 86, 03/03/2005), the operator of this tractor
must use personal protective equipment (PPE) during working hours. Therefore, use ear protection, either
in the form of earplugs or earphones.
