Prudence is essential when it comes to on the job safety and to
prevent industrial accidents.
The following cautions are offered here for this precise purpose.
Failure to follow the regulations given below exonerates our firm from all
civil and penal responsibility.
1. Switch off the engine when changing work attachments.
2. Switch off the engine when transporting the machine.
3. If you are working of a steep gradient, a second operator must prevent the
tractor from sliding or tipping over. He can do this with the help of a tensioned
cable upstream from the tractor and at a safe distance.
4. Every transfer or maneuver should be made with the attachment control
disengaged.
5. The operator must keep a safe distance from the attachment.
6. Attachment guards should be positioned so that only the part that works the
soil is exposed.
7. When starting the engine, the operator should stand to the side of the tractor.
8. Never service, repair or carry out any kind of work on the tractor or attached
implements unless the engine has been turned off, the key removed from the
starter and the attachment lowered to the ground.
Pay extra attention to the cutting blades. Before any work, they must have come
to a complete stop.
9. The operator must make certain there are no persons, animals or things in
the machine's working range.
10. Safety plates and stickers are essential means of information on correct use
of the machine. Replace them when they are illegible or badly worn.
11. The operator must check to be certain that every part of the tractor and,
especially the safety devices, are in good working condition and work to
specs. They should be kept in perfect working condition. If you note any
malfunctioning, fix or repair them in good time. If necessary contact your
nearest Assistance Centre. Failure to observe these instructions releases
