    Do not work with the tractor with light rear. If the rear has a tendency to lift, add more weights on the rear wheels. When leaving the tractor, put the gear lever in neutral position and apply the parking brake. Never leave the GTCR on the tractor in the raised position of the hydraulic system. The GTCR must be turned off before any maintenance work. Do not travel on highways especially at night. Use warning signs throughout the course If you need to travel with the GTCR on highways, consult traffic authorities. GTCR 34-40...
  • Page 14 Periodically check all components of the GTCR before using it. Due to the equipment used and work conditions on field or in maintenance areas, precautions are required. Baldan has no direct control over precautions, so it is the owner’s responsibility to implement safety procedures while working with GTCR. Check the recommended minimum tractor power for each GTCR model. Only use tractor with power and ballast compatible with the load and topography of the terrain. When transporting the GTCR, travel at speeds compatible with the terrain and never exceed 16 km/h, as this reduces maintenance and consequently increases the life of the GTCR. Alcoholic beverage or some medications may cause loss of reflexes and change the operator´s physi- cal conditions. Therefore, never operate this GTCR under the influence of these substances. Read or explain all the procedures of this manual to the operator who cannot read. In case of doubts, refer to Post-Sales. Telephone: 0800-152577 / E-mail: posvenda@baldan.com.br GTCR 34-40...
