1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Safety advice in the instructions and on the vehicle
WARNING:
Serious injury or death can result from non-compliance with safety-relevant instructions:
Depending on the source of danger and the effect, damage, minor or serious injury or
death may result if:
• Safety instructions are not observed or are not implemented correctly.
• Safety instructions on the vehicle or implement are missing, illegible or damaged.
• The present Operator's Manual is not present on the vehicle.
Before using the vehicle, ensure that this Operator's Manual is present on the vehicle and
that all persons involved have read and understood all relevant safety instructions in the
Operator's Manual.
Never remove safety decals and instructions. Missing or illegible safety decals and safety
notices must be replaced. In the event of loss or damage, replacement decals are available
from the dealer.
When purchasing a used tractor, make sure that the safety decals and safety instructions
are correct, legible and properly attached.
NOTE:
You can obtain a copy of the present Operator's Manual from your FENDT dealer.
The Operator's Manual is published and distributed in all markets. The availability of the described
components, whether as part of the standard equipment or as accessories, may vary depending on the
country or region. If you would like to know what equipment features are available in your region, you
should contact your FENDT dealer.
Under normal conditions, the Operator's Manual should enable the operator and the driver to operate the
tractor safely. If these instructions are followed, the tractor, like all FENDT products, will provide faithful
service for many years.
NOTE:
During commissioning by the FENDT dealer on the premises of the operator, it is ensured that the
operating and service instructions provided have been understood by the operator. The operator is obliged
to train staff in the operating and/or service instructions. If you do not understand parts of this Operator's
Manual, please contact your FENDT dealer. It is essential that these instructions are understood and
observed.
The instructions do not contain all of the safety and operating instructions for the implements and
accessories that can be fitted at the time of and after delivery of the tractor. It is imperative that the
operator understands and uses the operating instructions for these implements and the accessories.
This chapter of the Operator's Manual contains a description of specific safety-related standard situations
that can arise when operating the tractor and during normal maintenance. You are also given all of the
information required on the correct behavior to adopt in these situations.
NOTE:
This chapter is supplementary to the safety instructions contained in other chapters of this Operator's
Manual.
Depending on the implements used and the working conditions on site or in the operating area, additional
precautionary measures may need to be taken. FENDT has no direct influence on the commissioning,
operation, inspection, lubrication or maintenance of the tractor. YOU are therefore responsible for the
adoption of appropriate safety measures in the areas concerned.
