Face the machine when mounting and dismounting.
Maintain a three-point contact with steps, ladders, and handholds.
Never mount or dismount from a moving machine.
Do not use the steering wheel or other controls or accessories as handholds when entering or exiting the cab or
operator's platform.
Working at heights
When the normal use and maintenance of the machine requires working at heights:
• Correctly use installed steps, ladders, and railings.
• Never use ladders, steps, or railings while the machine is moving.
• Do not stand on surfaces which are not designated as steps or platforms.
Do not use the machine as a lift, ladder, or platform for working at heights.
Lifting and overhead loads
Never use loader buckets, forks, etc. or other lifting, handling, or digging equipment to lift persons.
Do not use raised equipment as a work platform.
Know the full area of movement of the machine and equipment and do not enter or permit anyone to enter the area
of movement while the machine is in operation.
Never enter or permit anyone to enter the area underneath raised equipment. Equipment and/or loads can fall unex-
pectedly and crush persons underneath it.
Do not leave equipment in raised position while parked or during service, unless securely supported. Hydraulic cylin-
ders must be mechanically locked or supported if they are left in a raised position for service or access.
Loader buckets, forks, etc. or other lifting, handling, or digging equipment and its load will change the center of gravity
of the machine. This can cause the machine to tip on slopes or uneven ground.
Load items can fall off the loader bucket or lifting equipment and crush the operator. Care must be taken when lifting
a load. Use proper lifting equipment.
Do not lift load higher than necessary. Lower loads to transport. Remember to leave appropriate clearance to the
ground and other obstacles.
Equipment and associated loads can block visibility and cause an accident. Do not operate with insufficient visibility.
Implements, tools and trailers
Attach trailers, tools and/or implements correctly. The operating, steering and braking behavior of the vehicle are
affected by implements, trailers and ballast weights. Therefore ensure adequate steering and braking power.
Stay clear of the area between the vehicle and the trailed implement.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions when connecting or mounting an implement to the vehicle.
Always use the required or recommended drawbar or hitch to connect an implement to the tractor.
Use only recommended hardware for hitch connections. Verify the integrity of the connection.
Always adapt your ground speed to the ground conditions. Avoid making sharp turns when driving up or down slopes
or when driving across the slope. Do not attempt to turn the machine with the differential lock engaged. When driving
down slopes, never depress the clutch and change gear.
Observe maximum permissible axle loads and total weights.
