1.3 Follow a safety program

1.3.1 For pr

oper operation

To ensure that the agricultural equipment operates correctly, it must be operated by qualiﬁed and

aut

horised personnel. To qualify, you must understand the instructions provided in this Manual, receive the

proper training and know the rules and safety regulations related to your work.

Some trac regulations determine that children younger than 16 years, for example, may not operate farm

machinery. In other places, the law states that only those over 18 years of age may operate farm

machinery. Tractors are part of this category. It is your responsibility to know these regulations and to

comply with them.

These regulations include, but are not limited to, the following instructions for safe operation:

DANGER: Use of drugs or alcohol.

May aect

awareness or coordination.

If the operator is taking prescription or non-prescription medication, he or she should see

a doctor to ﬁnd out if his/her ability to operate the machine may be adversely aected by

such medication.

IMPORTANT: Operator's Manual for any kit or implement.

Find out if there is a manual and carefully read the additional safety information.

Follow the following instructions:

• Do not allow children or people not qualiﬁed for the job to operate the tractor. Keep people away from

the work area.

• Always use the safety belt.

• When possible, avoid operating the tractor near ditches, earthwork or holes. Reduce speed when

turning, when going up or down slopes or hills and on rough, slippery or muddy surfaces.

• Avoid very steep hills.

• Pay close attention to where you are going, especially at the end of rows, on the roads or when

operating close to trees.

• The instructor's seat must be used only for short periods.

• Do not allow children in the instructor's seat.

• Do give rides on the machine or implement, unless there is a proper instructor's seat.

• The implement must only be coupled to the draw bar or recommended hitch points and never above

the center line of the rear axle.

• Operate the tractor slowly and with caution - without sudden maneuvers, starts or stops. When the

tractor is stopped, engage the park brake. Lower the implement and remove the key from the ignition.

• Do not modify or remove any part of the equipment and do not use attachments that are not suitable

for the tractor.
