Belarus 80.1 Operation Manual page 243

Trailers, semi-trailers and agricultural implements (that have a brake system) cou-
pled with the tractor shall have a brake system that ensures:
- on-the-go braking of the machine;
- engaging the brake in case the machine detaches from the tractor;
- preventing movements of the machine when staying on slopes;
- prevention of trailer from pushing the tractor when the travel speed is changed ab-
ruptly.
Trailers, semi-trailers and agricultural machines shall be linked to the tractor by
means of a safety chain.
The operation of brakes of the tractor road-train shall be checked at the speed of 3
to 5 km/h.
The travel speed at access ways and at pass ways shall not exceed 10 km/h.
Do not stop the tractor on slopes. If there is a necessity to stop the tractor, brake the
tractor by means of the parking brake.
When loading (unloading) the trailer or semi-trailer, engage the parking brake of the
tractor.
When driving on public roads, turn on a flashing beacon, if available.
When working on slopes, increase the tractor track to the max.
When working on the slopes with an angle of more than 20° set the maximum rear
wheel track.
Before leaving the cab, turn off the rear and side PTO, stop the engine, engage the
parking brake and remove the key from the starter and instruments switch.
If the engine or the steering controls fail, immediately stop the tractor. Keep in mind
that with the engine stopped it is required to apply much greater force to the steering
wheel to steer the tractor.
In case a failure occurs, immediately stop the tractor and eliminate the fault.
Avoid leakage of electrolyte, coolant, fuel or oil.
Use summer and winter grades of fuel correctly. Fill in the fuel tank at the end of
each day to decrease night condensation of moisture. Fill the tractor only with fuels, oils
and lubricants recommended by this Manual. It is strictly forbidden to use other lubricants.
It is forbidden to turn off the system of electrical equipment by means of the
"ground" disconnect switch with the engine running.
Operate the tractor at night-time with lighting devices on and being in good order.
If put to a wrong use, your tractor can be dangerous for you as well as for third per-
sons. Do not use equipment that is not intended for installation on the tractor.
Make sure that any additional equipment or auxiliary units are mounted correctly
and that they are intended to be used with your tractor.
To prevent the tractor from turning over, keep up with the following precaution
measures when operating the tractor:
- choose safe speed, corresponding to road conditions, especially when moving
cross-country, when crossing ditches, slopes and performing sharp turns;
- turn round corners with a speed not higher than 5 km/h, and on a slippery road not
higher than 3 km/h.
- move down the hill with first or second gear engaged.
Note – This list of precaution measures is not exhaustive. To avoid turning over, ex-
ercise caution when operating the tractor.
It is forbidden to use the tractor at works where there is a possibility for the tractor to
turn over.
