1.6 Safe operation
1.6.1 Manoeuvre correctly
Make sure that the tractor is ready for the work to be performed. Know its nominal load capacities and
never exceed these numbers. Make sure that the equipment or implements used do not exceed the load
capacity of your tractor. Make sure that the PTO of the tractor and of the implement are compatible.
Remember that the tractors typically operate on uneven surfaces, not paved or uneven terrain. Operating
conditions can reduce the amount of weight that you can load or tow.
1.6.2 Safety practices
• Operate the controls with care. Do not turn the steering wheel or use sudden movements to activate
other controls.
• Do not mount or dismount the tractor when it is moving. Hold the steering wheel firmly and with both
hands.
• Make sure that there is enough space in all directions, for both the tractor and the implement.
• Do not play with the tractor or equipment. These should be used for the indicated purpose only.
• Do not try to operate the controls if you are not in the operator's seat.
• Before dismounting, always disengage the PTO, lower all attachments and implements to the ground,
put the tractor in neutral, engage the park brake, shut down the engine and remove the ignition key.
NOTE: Do not touch, lean on or try to reach the implement mechanisms, or allow others to do so.
ATTENTION: If any part of the equipment breaks, comes loose or breaks down, stop working, lower the
equipment to ground level, shut down the engine, inspect the machine and make the necessary repairs or
adjustments before restarting the operation.
Take care with pedestrians
Always be aware of what is happening around you. Do not allow untrained or unqualified personnel to
operate the tractor. They can cause serious accidents.
Do not let other people walk on the implement or
other equipment, such as trailers, with the
exception of some harvesting equipment, which is
specially designed for passengers during
harvesting operations (not during transport). You
must have space in such equipment, so that this
type of transport can be carried out in complete
safety. Do not allow children on the tractor.
