PRECAUTIONS
ROLLOVERS account for about
half of all fatal tractor accidents,
and a large number of disabling
mishaps. Chief causes of tractor
rollovers include:
• Driving too fast for conditions
• Striking rocks, stumps and holes
• Running into ditches
• Hitching high for extra traction
• Driving on steep slopes
• Improper operation of front-end
loaders
• Keep all shields in place
• Check hitch connections and
locking devices, and make sure that
hydraulic lines are in good con-
dition and securely connected.
• Don't permit others to ride
anywhere on the tractor.
• Never use a tractor for 'joy
riding' or herding cattle.
• Always be sure that the coast is
clear of by-standers before moving
out, and double-check again for
blind spots and youngsters.
• Remove the key, set the brakes
and /or lock the transmission before
leaving the tractor.
• Refuel only when engine is not
running, and don't smoke when
refuelling!
• Keep tractors clean and properly
serviced.
• Wear loose -fitting clothing and
shoes with slip -resistant soles when
operating a tractor. Use hearing
protection unless you are riding in
a sound -proof cab.
• Recognize a tractor's
limitations. Use it only for the
jobs that it was designed to per-
form.
