1.2 General Recommendations
Why is safety important
?
1. Accidents incapacitate and can be fatal
2. Accidents generally involve significant costs
3. Accidents can be avoided.
This Manual describes safety recommendations and procedures related to the tractor and does not,
therefore, go into details about the care of the implement coupled to and/or powered by the tractor. For
this, see the Manual for the implement used.
This section of the Manual is intended to point out some of the basic safety situations involved with your
equipment and to provide suggestions on how to avoid high-risk situations and accidents. Therefore, users
must take all possible precautions and guidance. There are always a series of precautions to be taken for
each implement, attachment and work situation, which would be impossible to list in this Manual.
Valtra is in no way able to directly control the conditions of use, servicing or repair to which the product is
subjected. Therefore, users are responsible for always following appropriate practices for their safety and
for the integrity of the product, other people or machines in the same work area.
1.2.1 The tractor
The tractor is a source of mechanical and hydraulic power.
• On its own, t
he tractor has little practical value. It only becomes a work unit when used in conjunction
with an implement or other accessory.
• This Maintenance Guide was compiled to cover the safety practices when the tractor is operating under
normal conditions.
• This manual does not address all operating and safety instructions relating to all known implements and
accessories, which may be installed when the tractor is delivered or on another date.
• It is essential that operators read and understand the manuals of the related implements and
accessories.
