Safety Notes
General Operating Hazards
Ensure that the PTO shield (1) is in place and that the
PTO cap (2) is fitted when the PTO driveline is not in
use (Fig. 21).
Before attaching, detaching, cleaning or adjusting
PTO driven implements, disengage the PTO, stop the
engine, remove the key, and make sure that the PTO
driveline has stopped.
Ensure that all the PTO driveline guards are in place
and observe all safety decals (Fig. 22).
Be sure everyone is clear of your machine before
engaging the PTO. For stationary PTO operation,
always place transmission in neutral, engage parking
brake, and chock both tractor and implement wheels.
When operating mobile PTO driven equipment, DO
NOT leave the tractor seat until the PTO drive is
disengaged, the transmission is in neutral, the
parking brake is engaged, the engine shut off and the
key removed.
DO NOT use PTO adaptors, reducers or extensions
as they extend the PTO coupler and universal joint
out beyond the protection offered by the PTO shield.
The top link and lift rods must not be extended
beyond the point where threads begin to show.
DANGER: DO NOT attempt to unplug the
hydraulic connections,
implement with the engine running or the
PTO drive in operation. To do so may result in very
serious injury or death.
When using chemicals, carefully follow the chemical
manufacturer's instructions for use, storage and
disposal. Also follow the chemical application
equipment manufacturer's instructions.
When operating under poor visibility conditions, or in
the dark, use your tractor field lights and reduce your
ground speed. DO NOT use your field lights when
travelling on a roadway because rear pointed white
lights may be illegal except when reversing and may
confuse following drivers.
Operate your tractor with the wheels set at the
widest setting possible, consistent with the particular
task you are performing. To adjust wheel settings
refer to Maintenance and Adjustment section.
Reduce your speed when operating over rough or
slippery ground and when foliage restricts your view
of hazards.
DO NOT make sharp turns at high speed.
