11. Always set the hydraulic selector lever in position control when attaching or transporting equipment. Ensure hy-
draulic couplers are properly mounted and will disconnect safely in case of accidental detachment of implement
12. Do not leave equipment in the raised position.
13. Use the flasher/turn signal lights and SMV signs when traveling on public roads both day and night (unless pro-
hibited by law).
14. When operating at night, adjust lights to prevent blinding oncoming drivers.
DRIVING THE TRACTOR
1. Watch where you are going, especially at row ends, on roads, around trees and low hanging obstacles.
2. To avoid upsets, drive the tractor with care and at a safe speed. Use extra caution when operating over rough
ground, when crossing ditches or slopes, and when turning corners.
3. To provide two-wheel braking, lock tractor brake pedals together when transporting on roads.
4. Do not coast or free wheel down hills. Use the same gear when going downhill as is used when going uphill.
5. Any towed vehicle with a total weight exceeding that of the towing tractor should be equipped with brakes for safe
operation.
6. If the tractor becomes stuck or the tires become frozen to the ground, back up the tractor to prevent upset.
7. Always check overhead clearance, especially when transporting the tractor.
8. When operating at night, adjust lights to prevent blinding oncoming drivers.
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 disconnecting 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 all gear shift levers in neutral position.
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 gasoline, alcohol, or blended fuels be added to diesel fuel. These combi-
nations 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 maintained.
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.
