TO THE OWNER/OPERATOR/DEALER
To keep your implement running efficiently and safely, read your manual thoroughly
and follow these directions and the Safety Messages in this Manual. The Table of
Contents clearly identifies each section where you can easily find the information you
need.
The OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT (1928.51 Subpart C) makes
these minimum safety requirements of tractor operators:
REQUIRED OF THE OWNER:
1. Provide a Roll-Over-Protective Structure that meets the requirements of
this Standard; and
2. Provide Seatbelts that meet the requirements of this paragraph of this
Standard and SAE J4C; and
3. Ensure that each employee uses such Seatbelt while the tractor is moving;
and
4. Ensure that each employee tightens the Seatbelt sufficiently to confine the
employee to the protected area provided by the ROPS.
REQUIRED OF THE OPERATOR
1. Securely fasten seatbelt if the tractor has a ROPS.
2. Where possible, avoid operating the tractor near ditches, embankments,
and holes.
3. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes, and on rough, slick, or
muddy surfaces.
4. Stay off slopes too steep for safe operation.
5. Watch where you are going
especially at row ends, on roads, and around
trees.
6. Do not permit others to ride.
7. Operate the tractor smoothly
no jerky turns, starts, or stops.
8. Hitch only to the drawbar and hitch points recommended by the tractor
manufacturer.
9. When the tractor is stopped, set brakes securely and use park lock, if
available.
