TO OUR CUSTOMER TO OUR CUSTOMER Thank you very much for purchasing an ISEKI tractor. This operator’s manual provides the information necessary for operating and maintaining your tractor safely and properly. The contents are mainly composed of the following 2 items:...
SAFETY SAFETY MACHINE PURPOSE This machine is designed solely for use in customary agricultural or similar operations. Use in any other way is considered as contrary to the intended use. Compliance with and strict adherence to the conditions of operation, service, and repair as specified by the manufacturer, also constitute essential elements of the intended use.
TXG237F3 MAKING YOUR TRACTOR A SAFE VEHICLE HOW TO MAINTAIN SAFETY (1) Never attempt to do the following: ・Modification of the structure of the tractor ・Installation of other type of engine ・Installation of tyres of other than the original tyre size.
SAFETY FOR SAFE OPERATION HOW TO BE A SAFE OPERATOR (1) Familiarize yourself fully with machine controls by studying the operation manual before using your machine. This operation manual should be regarded as part of the machine. Suppliers of both new and second-hand machines are advised to retain documentary evidence that this manual was pro- vided with the machine.
FIG. 1-6 If safety devices are damaged or do not work, please consult your Iseki dealer. (3) Before removing a safety device, such as a safety cover, be sure that the machine has stopped completely.
SAFETY WHEN TRAVELLING (1) When you travel on roads, ensure the differential lock is off, or the tractor may turn over. (2) Do not make sharp turns when operating at high speed or for transportation as the tractor may turn over. (3) When operating on poor footing such as a rough road, a slope, a road along a ditch or river, or undeveloped land, drive the tractor at low speeds...
TXG237F3 (8) Keep inflammables away from the engine during operation. Especially during stationary operation do not operate the engine at high speeds so as not to set fire to grass or straw with a heated ex- haust pipe or exhaust fumes.
(7) Use ramps with the same or better specifications mentioned below. When the machine is equipped with attachments other than those included in the specifications mentioned below, ask your Iseki dealer for advice. Specifications of the ramps more than 4 times the height of the platform (h) ・Length:...
TXG237F3 (6) When moving the machine toward an implement for the purpose of installing the implement, never allow any one to stand in between. When install- ing the implement on the machine, be prepare to move away promptly in the event of an emer- gency.
Do not attempt to service a tyre unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job. Have the work carried out by your Iseki dealer or a qualified repair service. When seating tyre beads onto rims, never exceed the maximum inflation specifications specfied on the tyre.
TXG237F3 (3) Safe storage of dangerous objects ・When storing dangerous implements, take ap- propriate safety measures to prevent accidents by covering with tarpaulin. ・Store fuel in a safe place with caution signs such as “PREVENT FIRE” or “INFLAMMABLE.” ・All inflammables must also be stored in a safe, fire-resistant location.
DISMANTLING AND DISPOSAL When the machine or its parts completes their use- ful life, consult your ISEKI dealer for dismantling and disposal. If you try to dismantle and dispose by yourself, be ware of the necessity of hazards and safety precautions.
