SECTION 00 - GENERAL - CHAPTER 1
◊
In case of operations outside the workshop, drive
the tractor to a flat area and block it. If working on
an incline cannot be avoided, first block the trac‐
tor carefully. Move it to a flat area as soon as pos‐
sible with a certain extent of safety.
◊
Ruined or plied cables and chains are unreliable.
Do not use them for lifting or trailing. Always han‐
dle them wearing gloves of proper thickness.
◊
Chains should always be safely fastened.
Ensure that fastening device is strong enough to
hold the load foreseen. No persons should stop
near the fastening point, trailing chains or cables.
◊
The working area should be always kept CLEAN
and DRY. Immediately clean any spillage of
water or oil.
◊
Do not pile up grease or oil soaked rags, as they
constitute a great fire hazard. Always place them
into a metal container.
Before starting the tractor or its attachments,
check, adjust and block the operator's seat. Also
ensure that there are no persons within the trac‐
tor or attachment operating range.
◊
Do not keep into your pockets any object which
might fall unobserved into the tractor's inner
compartments.
◊
Whenever there is the possibility of being
reached by ejected metal parts or similar, use
protection eye mask or goggles with side guards,
helmets, special footwear and heavy gloves.
◊
Wear suitable protection such as tinted eye
protection, helmets, special clothing, gloves and
footwear whenever it is necessary to carry out
welding procedures. All persons standing in the
vicinity of the welding process should wear tinted
eye protection. NEVER LOOK AT THE WELD‐
ING ARC IF YOUR EYES ARE NOT SUITABLY
PROTECTED.
◊
Metal cables with the use get frayed. Always
wear adequate protections (heavy gloves, eye
protection, etc.)
◊
Handle all parts with the greatest caution. Keep
your hands and fingers far from gaps, moving
gears and similar. Always use approved protec‐
tive equipment, such as eye protection, heavy
gloves and protective footwear.
