SAFETY
Mounting and Dismounting
Mount the tractor and dismount the tractor only at
locations that have steps and/or handholds. Before you
mount the tractor, clean the steps and the handholds.
Inspect the stairs and handholds. Make any necessary
repairs.
Face the rear of the tractor whenever you mount the
tractor and whenever you dismount the tractor.
Maintain three-point contact with the steps and
handholds. Three-point contact is two feet and one hand
or one foot and two hands.
Never mount a moving tractor. Never dismount a moving
tractor. Never jump off the tractor except in an emergency.
Do not carry tools or supplies when you try to mount the
tractor or when you try to dismount the tractor. Use a
hand line to pull equipment onto the platform.
Do not use any controls as handholds when you enter the
operator compartment or when you exit the operator
compartment.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the steps are not adjusted
too close
to the hood on the tractor.
You must leave a minimum dimension of 75 mm between
the
inside handhold and the hood so that there is enough
room for the operator's hand.
Before Starting Engine
Start the engine only from the operator compartment.
Never short across the starter terminals or across the
batteries. Shorting could damage the electrical system or
cause unexpected tractor movement.
Adjust the seat so that full pedal travel can be achieved
with the operator's back against the back of the seat.
Make sure that the tractor is equipped with a lighting
system that is adequate for the job conditions. Make sure
that all of the tractor lights are working properly.
Before you start the engine and before you move the
tractor, make sure that no one is underneath the tractor,
around the tractor, or on the tractor. Make sure that the
area is free of personnel.
Engine Starting
Move all hydraulic controls to the HOLD position before
you start the engine.
Make sure the transmission control lever is in the PARK
position
Diesel engine exhaust contains products of combustion
which can be harmful to your health. Always run the
engine in a well ventilated area. If you are in an enclosed
area, vent the exhaust to the outside.
When the engine is running and the steering wheel is
turned, the tractor will not turn with the transmission
control lever in PARK position.
WARNING: The tractor WILL turn if the
steering wheel is moved when the
transmission control lever is in NEUTRAL
and the engine is running.
Do not start the engine until the area is free of personnel.
This will aid in
avoiding personal injury due to unexpected
tractor movement.
