✔
Follow manufacturer's recommendations
on towed equipment weight limits, and
on towing on slopes.
✔
Never carry passengers on the equipment
being towed.
✔
On slopes, the weight of the equipment
being towed can cause loss of traction/
control.
✔
Drive at low speed, and foresee a good
distance to stop.
Warning!
Tow only the attachments that are
recommended by and comply with
specifications of the manufacturer of
your tractor. Use common sense
when towing.
7. Handling fuel
To avoid personal and material damage, use
extra care in handling gasoline. It is
extremely flammable and vapors are
explosive.
✔
Put out cigarettes, cigars, pipes or any
other igniting source.
✔
Use an approved container only.
✔
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with
the engine running. Allow engine to cool
down before refueling.
Never refuel the machine indoors.
✔
✔
Never store the machine or fuel container
inside where there is an open flame, or
sparks (boilers and other devices).
✔
Never fill a gasoline container inside a
car, truck or trailer with plastic lining.
Always place the container on the ground
and away from the vehicle before filling it
up.
✔
Remove any gasoline equipment from the
truck or trailer before filling it; do it on
the ground. If that is not possible, refill
the equipment with a portable container.
Do not use the gasoline pump hose.
✔
Always keep the hose nozzle in touch
with the edge of the fuel tank or with the
opening of the container until it is filled
up. Avoid using nozzle opening and
closing devices.
✔
Should fuel spill on your clothes, change
them immediately.
✔
Do not overfill the tank. Replace the cap
and close it tight.
8. Additional safety and
operation instructions
✔
Never operate the tractor or leave the
engine running indoors or without
ventilation. The exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide, an odorless and lethal
gas.
✔
Frequently check screws and nuts for
tightening, and keep them in their places
to make sure the equipment is operating
under safe conditions.
Never tamper with safety devices. Check
✔
their proper operation regularly. Many
accidents are caused by the lack of
adequate maintenance.
✔
Keep machine free from grass, leaves, or
other debris build-up. Clean oil or fuel
spillage. Allow machine to cool before
storing.
