1. General Notices for Safety
1-1. Before using the tractor
※Must read and understand this operator’s manual carefully and
always refer to information and prescriptions outlined in this
manual to prevent all potential health and safety risks.
◆General information for intended use
zYour tractor is designed and manufactured to pull, to carry, to supply the power a variety of mounted
or towed equipment for agriculture. Do not use the product for other purposes than intended by the
manufacturer and outlined in this manual. Do not use this tractor for light/heavy forestry applications.
zDo not use the product beyond its limits of terrain gradient and stability than outlined in this manual.
Using the tractor beyond these limits may cause a overturning accident.
zDo not use the tractor on higher speeds than allowed by the load of the tractor and road condition.
Always choose a suitable driving speed to maintain the stability of the tractor.
zDo not use the tractor near or on soft verges of canals and brooks or banks and verges that are
undermined by rodents. The tractor may sink sideways and roll-over.
zDo not use the tractor on brittle bridge heads and poor bridge floors. These constructions may
collapse and cause overturning of the tractor. Always check out the condition and carrying
capacity of bridges and ramps prior to engage.
zDo not use the tractor without wearing the seat belt and Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS)
during operations where roll-over or tip-over hazards exist. The ROPS will only be fully effective when
the driver remains attached to his/her seat.
zDo not use equipment mounted on the tractor which is not correctly matching and firmly fixed.
Such equipment may increase the risk for roll-over and hit the tractor when coming loose.
zDo not use the tractor in combination with equipment arbitrary, without having consulted the
specific operator’s manual provided with the equipment. This manual alone cannot provide you
with all the information about safety operation of the combination.
zDo not use the tractor beyond its limits of dynamic stability. High speed, abrupt maneuvers, and
fast and short cornering will increase the risk of roll-over.
zDo not use the tractor for overloaded pulling work, in cases where you don’t know if the load will
yield, for instance when pulling stumps. The tractor may flip over when the stump is not yielding.
zBe extremely cautious when working with the tractor on forage silos without lateral concrete walls.
A wide track setting may improve the lateral stability of the tractor.
zBe cautious that the center of gravity of the tractor may increase when the front-end loader is
loaded or the three-point linkage are raised. In these conditions, the tractor may roll-over earlier than
expected.
zDo not step down from the tractor without shutting down the PTO, shifting the transmission
to neutral and applying the parking brake.
