SECTION 0 -- SAFETY
0-9
DIESEL FUEL
1. Under no circumstances should gasoline,
alcohol or blended fuels be added to diesel
fuel. These combinations can create an
increased fire or explosive hazard. In a
closed container such as a fuel tank, these
blends are more explosive than pure
gasoline. Do not use these blends.
2. Ignition switch to OFF position.
3. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the
engine running. Allow the tractor to cool off
before fueling.
4. Do not smoke while refuelling the tractor or
when standing near fuel. Keep any type of
open flame away.
5. Use the proper fuel transfer hose and nozzle.
Make sure the nozzle and hose are grounded
to dissipate static electric charges.
6. When refueling, make sure the nozzle is in
contact with the filler neck of the tractor fuel
tank before fuel starts to flow and during the
entire time fuel is flowing.
7. Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle
when filling the tank.
8. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow
room for expansion.
9. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
10. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
11. If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it
with a genuine replacement cap. A non-ap-
proved cap may not be safe.
12. Keep equipment clean and properly main-
tained.
13. Do not drive equipment near open fires.
14. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
15. Arrange fuel purchases so that summer
grade fuels are not held over and used in the
winter.
16. Never operate electrical or electronic equip-
ment (such as cell phones) while around fuel
or while refueling.
SAFETY CAB
Your tractor is equipped with a safety cab which
must be maintained in a serviceable condition.
Be careful when driving through doorways or
working in confined spaces with low headroom.
1. Do not modify, drill, weld or alter the safety
cab in any way. Doing so could render you
liable to legal prosecution in some countries.
2. Never attempt to straighten or weld any part
of the main frame or retaining brackets which
have suffered damage. By doing so you may
weaken the structure and endanger your
safety. Replace all damaged parts.
3. Do not secure any parts on the main frame or
attach your safety cab with other than the
special high tensile bolts and nuts specified.
4. Never attach chains or ropes to the cab or
main frame for pulling purposes.
5. Never take unnecessary risks even though
your safety cab affords you the maximum
protection possible.
