Diesel Fuel - New Holland Boomer 3040 Operator's Manual

OPERATING THE PTO
1. When operating PTO driven equipment, shut
off the engine and wait until the PTO stops
before getting off the tractor and disconnect-
ing the equipment.
2. Do not wear loose clothing when operating
the power take-off or when near rotating
equipment.
3. When operating stationary PTO driven
equipment, always place range gear shift
lever in neutral, apply the tractor parking
brake, and block the rear wheels front and
back.
4. To avoid injury, do not clean, adjust, unclog,
or service PTO driven equipment when the
tractor engine is running.
5. Ensure the PTO master shield is installed at
all times. Always replace the PTO shield cap
when the PTO is not in use.

DIESEL FUEL

1. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should gaso-
line, alcohol, or blended fuels be added to
diesel fuel. These combinations can create
an increased fire or explosive hazard. Such
blends are more explosive than pure
gasoline in a closed container such as a fuel
tank. DO NOT USE THESE BLENDS.
2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the
engine running or hot.
3. Do not smoke while refueling or when
standing near fuel.
4. Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle
when filling the tank.
5. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow
room for expansion.
6. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
7. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
8. If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it
with a New Holland approved cap. A
non-approved, proprietary cap may not be
safe.
9. Keep equipment clean and properly main-
tained.
10. Do not drive equipment near open fires.
11. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
12. Arrange fuel purchases so that winter grade
fuels are not held over and used in the spring.
SAFETY FRAME (ROPS)
Your New Holland tractor is equipped with a
safety frame. It must be maintained in a
serviceable condition. Be careful when driving
through doorways or working in confined spaces
with low headroom.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you:
modify, drill, or alter the safety frame in any
•
way. Doing so may render you liable to legal
prosecution.
attempt to straighten or weld any part of the
•
main frame or retaining brackets which have
suffered damage. Doing so may weaken the
structure and endanger your safety.
secure any parts on the main frame or attach
•
your safety frame with anything other than
the special high tensile bolts and nuts
specified.
attach chains or ropes to the main frame for
•
pulling purposes.
take unnecessary risks even though your
•
safety frame affords you the maximum
protection possible.
