Precautions Before Operating The Tractor - Yanmar Lx410 Operator's Manual

3. Precautions Before Operating The Tractor

1. Understand the performance and limitations of
the tractor. Carefully study the Operator's Manual
and learn the instructions in the Operator's
Manual before operating or servicing the tractor.
Keep the Operator's Manual in an easily
accessible place.
2. Strictly follow the statements given in the
DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION safety
decals attached to the tractor.
3. Do not operate the tractor with the Roll-Over
Protective Structure (ROPS) in the folded "down"
position.
Keep the retractable seatbelt fastened while
operating the tractor with the Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) in the unfolded "up" position.
The preceding practice will reduce the possibility
of injury or death in the event of roll over
accident.
If the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) has
been removed for any reason, ensure to install all
the associated parts before operating the tractor.
Do not alter the Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS). The altered Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) may fail to provide the
designed protection.
Replace the damaged Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) immediately. Contact YOUR
LOCAL YANMAR TRACTOR DEALER for
technical assistance.
The foldable Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) may be temporarily folded down when
absolutely necessary for areas with height
limitations. Remember that when the Roll-Over
Protective Structure (ROPS) is in the "down"
position, the Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) does not provide operator protection and
the retractable seatbelt should not be worn.
For operator safety, always keep the Roll-Over
Protective Structure (ROPS) in the unfolded "up"
position and locked securely.
NEVER alter or repair the Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS). Welding, bending, drilling,
grinding, or cutting may weaken the Roll-Over

5. Check overhead clearance carefully before
driving under power lines, wires, bridges or low
hanging tree branches, before entering or leaving
buildings, or in any other situation where the

(ROPS) may be struck, which could result in
serious injury.
6. Make sure that the usual operator and any other
person who will operate the tractor studies the
Operator's Manual before operation. Know the

under or around the tractor before and during
operation. Make sure to maintain sufficient
overhead clearance above the tractor.

of alcohol, drugs, medicine or controlled
