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, always apply the tractor
parking brake and block the rear wheels
front and back. Engage the articulation
lock.
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.
6. Be sure the articulation lock is engaged,
the park brake is set and the gearshift
lever is in neutral when using the PTO in
stationary applications. Do not leave the
tractor unattended. If you must leave the
tractor for any reason, stop the tractor
and remove the key.
7. Take special care in hook-up of
implements to the PTO.
SERVICING THE TRACTOR
Most accidents can be avoided by observing
certain precautions. To help prevent
accidents, read and take the following
precautions before servicing the tractor.
1. The cooling system operates under
pressure which is controlled by the
radiator cap. It is dangerous to remove
the cap while the system is hot. Always
turn the cap slowly to the first stop and
allow the pressure to escape before
removing the cap entirely. Wear gloves
when removing the cap.
2. Do not smoke while refueling the tractor.
Keep any type of open flame away.
3. Keep the tractor and equipment,
particularly brakes and steering,
maintained in a reliable and satisfactory
condition to ensure your safety and
comply with legal requirements.
4. To prevent fire or explosion, keep open
flames away from the battery or cold-
weather starting aids. To prevent sparks
which could cause explosion, use jumper
cables according to instructions.
5. Do not attempt to service the air
conditioning system. It is possible to
suffer severe frost bite or injury from
escaping refrigerant. Special equipment
and instruments are required to service
the air conditioning system which uses
R134A refrigerant. See your authorized
Buhler Versatile dealer for service.
6. Stop the engine before performing any
service on the tractor.
7. Escaping diesel/hydraulic fluid under
pressure can penetrate the skin causing
serious injury.
- DO NOT use your hand to check for
leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or
paper to search for leaks.
- Stop the engine and relieve pressure
before connecting or disconnecting
lines.
- Tighten all connections before starting
the engine or pressurizing lines.
- If fluid is injected into the skin, obtain
medical attention immediately or
gangrene may result.
8. Do not modify, alter or permit anyone else
to modify or alter the tractor or any of its
components or any tractor function
without first consulting an authorized
Buhler Versatile dealer.
9. The fuel oil in the injection system is
under high pressure and can penetrate
the skin. Unqualified persons should not
remove or attempt to adjust a pump,
injector, nozzle or any other part of the
fuel injection system. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in serious
injury.
10. Continuous long-term contact with used
engine oil may cause skin cancer. Avoid
prolonged contact with used engine oil.
Wash skin promptly with soap and water.
