Fire Prevention Principles - Zetor MAJOR Operator's Manual

Recovery, pushing
To recover a tractor that has sunk in mud use a tow bar or rope attached to the front hook
Never use chains! Rupture of the chain represents a danger of death!
During recovery it is dangerous to stand near the towing rope.
It is prohibited to use the tractor axles (individual wheels) as a winch for releasing a sunken tractor.
The front hook should be only use to recover the entire tractor, i.e. without any trailer or another
attached implement.
Never recover the tractor with reduced gears engaged.
When pushing other vehicles (trailers, implements, etc.) with the tractor never insert free wooden
blocks or bars between the tractor and the pushed vehicle.
Leaving the tractor
Park the tractor only on an even land and where not possible, support with a shim assy.
Do not park the tractor with an attached implement in the lifted position.
Usually use the left-hand side tractor door when leaving the tractor. Look round whether any vehicle is
coming, that could jeopardize your safety when leaving the tractor.
Use steps and handles when leaving the tractor. When leaving the tractor by the right-hand side door
pay attention being in space of shifting lever and hand throttle control.
Brake the tractor with parking brake before leaving tractor with running engine.
Do not forget to brake the tractor with parking brake (shift the gear), remove the key from key switch
and lock the cab before leaving the tractor.
At tractor equipped with reversor gear, shift the reversor lever into forward drive position.
With stopped engine only
All work connected with refuelling, cleaning, lubricating and adjusting the tractor or attached
implements may only be performed with the engine and moving parts of the tractor stopped except
functional checks of the brakes, hydraulic system and charging.
Before removing the side plates of the hood it is always necessary to stop the engine. The tractor
engine can only run in a closed building or room if sufficient ventilation is ensured. Exhaust gases are
harmful for health.

Fire prevention principles

Refuel the tractor best after the end of work and with the engine stopped.
Do not refill fuel up to the top of the fuel tank in summer. Wipe spilt fuel immediately.
Do not refuel the tractor near open flame and do not smoke.
Do not smoke and do not use open flame when inspecting the battery electrolyte level.
Make sure that fire safety instructions are strictly observed in environments with an increased danger
of fire (hay-lofts, straw-stacks, etc.).
The tractors are not equipped with a fire extinguisher from the production plant.
