SAFETY REGULATIONS

WORKING SAFELY

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

J It is advisable to keep a first aid kit on hand.

J During the manufacturing of this tractor, every

step has been taken to ensure safe operation. How-

ever, the best way to avoid accidents is to exercise

caution at all times. Once the accident has already

happened it is too late to remember what steps

should have been taken.

J The tractor must only be used by responsible per-

sonnel, trained in tractor use and authorised to oper-

ate the machine.

J Read this manual carefully before starting, using,

carrying out maintenance, refuelling or performing

any other type of operation on the tractor.

J Do not alter the injection system calibration in an

attempt to increase maximum engine speed.

J The time spent reading this manual will allow you

to get to know your tractor, thereby saving time and

effort. This will also help prevent accidents from tak-

ing place.

J Read all the safety decals on the machine and fol-

low the instructions thereon before starting, operat-

ing, refuelling or carrying out maintenance on the

machine. Promptly replace any decals that are dam-

aged, lost or illegible.

and debris.

J Always operate with the cab or roll bar correctly

and securely fitted on the tractor: periodically check

that the fittings are not loose and that all parts of the

24135

structure are free from any damage and deformation.

Do not modify the roll bar by welding parts, drilling

holes, etc., as this could adversely affect the rigidity

of the structure.

J Before moving the tractor, always check that the

area is free of persons or obstacles.

STARTING THE TRACTOR

J Before starting the engine, check that the hand-

brake is on and that the gears and power take--off are

disengaged, even if the tractor is fitted with a start--up

safety device. Never disconnect the start--up safety

switch.If the switch does not work correctly, contact

your local dealer for eventual repair operations.

DANGER

-- If used incorrectly, the tractor may tip over or

-- The roll bar may only be lowered for short

distances.The tractor is without protection when the

roll bar is in the lowered position.

-- Raise the roll bar and insert the lock pins immediately

after use for short distances or for transport purposes.

-- With the roll bar lowered the use of safety belts is not

advised.

-- Do not hitch cables or chains to the roll bar for towing

purposes.

-- Do not use the vehicle without the roll bar lock pins in

position if a roof has been installed.

-- The use of the roll bar and safety belts reduces the

risk of serious injury or death in the event of the tractor

tipping over or overturning.

Both sides of the fan have covers (1). The cover

shown in the drawing protects the left--hand side of

the fan.

STARTER MOTOR COVER -- Fig. 3

Cover (1) protects the electromagnetic contacts of
