Emergency Procedures
1. In case of a brake failure, hold the steering wheel firmly, wait until the tractor has come to a complete stop
and then shut down the engine.
2. If the steering malfunctions, brake immediately and shut down the engine.
3. If fire should occur, immediately shut down the engine and get off the tractor. If a fire extinguisher is
available, put out the flames at the source of the flame. If a fire extinguisher is not available, use sand or
another non-flammable substance to fight the fire.
4.
After any safety incident, immediately dial any necessary emergency services (hospital, fire department)
according to the situation and administer first-aid as necessary.
WARNING:
1. Always operate the tractor in a safe and responsible manner to avoid injury and possible death.
2. Pay special attention to any obstacles that may impede progress or cause an accident before starting the
tractor. Also check for obstacles and impediments that may be covered by the tractor, an implement or a
trailer.
3. Never leave the driver's seat to start and operate the tractor. Prior to the startup, make sure that various shift
levers are in the neutral position, the throttle lever and the front drive control handle are disengaged, and
the lifter operating handle is in neutral to prevent the sudden start up of accessories.
4. Do not start the engine by bridging-over the starter solenoid. If you do this, the tractor could lose control
and cause a dangerous situation, which could lead to injury or death.
5. Make sure that the pedals are free from obstacles and able to move unhindered to their home position.
Never keep anything on the floor or around the pedals that could obstruct pedal travel. An extra foot
blanket or non-standard floor mats should not be used as they can hinder pedal movement and cause
serious injury or damage.
6. Never get on or off the tractor while it is in motion.
7. Never climb under the tractor while the engine is running.
8. Always remove the keys, set all shift levels to neutral, and lock the auxiliary brake handle before exiting
the cab to avoid accidental start up and to keep the tractor from moving unattended.
9. Keep your speed under control at all times. Brake prior to turning in order to maintain your load and avoid
