Buhler 535 - Manual (Page 11)

14. Pull only from the drawbar. Use only a drawbar
pin that locks in place. Pulling from the tractor
rear axle or any point above the axle may cause
the tractor to overturn.
15. Be sure hydraulic couplers are properly mounted
and will disconnect safely in case of accidental
detachment of the implement.
16. Do not leave equipment in the raised position
when the vehicle is stopped or unattended.
17. Ensure any attached equipment or accessories
are approved for use and are correctly
installed. Maintained in accordance with the
instructions issued by the equipment or accessory
manufacturer.
18. Remember that your tractor, if abused or
incorrectly used, can be dangerous and become a
hazard both to the operator and to bystanders.
Do not overload or operate with attached equipment
which is unsafe, not designed for the particular task,
or is poorly maintained.
19. The cab is designed to meet and exceed
the applicable noise level standards (86dBA).
However, noise (sound pressure level)
in the workplace can exceed this level
when the cab window is open. Therefore, it
is recommended that the operators wear suitable
ear protectors when operating in high noise level
conditions.
20. Always keep sleeves, jackets or other clothing
relatively tight and belted. Loose clothing may
catch in moving parts and result in personal injury
or death.
21. Use steps and hand holds when mounting and
dismounting the tractor or for servicing
components too high to reach from the ground.
22. Lock the seat in position and buckle your safety
belt before operating the tractor.
23. Do not operate the tractor when you are tired,
sick, or impaired in any way.
24. Never operate the tractor in confined areas, or
when visibility next to the tractor is reduced. Injury
to bystanders or damage to the tractor or
equipment may result.
25. When hitching drawn equipment to the drawbar,
only allow an assistant between the tractor and
implement if the tractor is off, in neutral and the
brakes are engaged.
26. Do not leave implements with the hydraulic
cylinders fully extended or retracted where the
heat from the sun can cause the hydraulic fluid
to expand. Hydraulic pressure can rupture the
hoses, releasing high pressure oil causing personal
injury.
27. Be careful when turning with an implement. Lift
it from the ground if possible during turns. Side
thrust caused by the implement could damage
the tire and implement.
28. Use transport locks, lower the implement to the
ground and securely block the frame before
servicing the implement. Relieve pressure from
the hydraulic system and shut off the tractor.
Operating the PTO
1. When operating PTO–driven equipment, shut off
the engine and wait until the PTO stops before
getting off the tractor and disconnecting the
equipment.
2. Do not wear loose clothing when operating the
power take–off or when near rotating equipment.
3. When operating stationary PTO–driven equipment,
ensure that the park brake is set and the gearshift
lever is in neutral, block the rear wheels front and
rear and engage the articulation lock. Do not leave
the tractor unattended. If you must leave the
tractor for any reason, stop the engine and remove
the key.
4. To avoid injury, do not clean, adjust, unclog or
service PTO driven equipment when the tractor
engine is running.
5. Make sure all PTO shields are in position at all
times.
7. Take special care in hook–up of implements to
the PTO.
