SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before Operation

Be sure there are no open flames that may ignite the fuel vapors while the fuel tanks is being filled.

Keep the container and funnel in contact with the tank being filled or provide a ground to prevent a

static from igniting the fuel vapors.

Place adequate blocking under push beams before attempting to change the cutting edge or end bits, and

while changing oil in the hydraulic system.

Never attempt to lift a heavy component without an adequate lifting device.

Do not attempt to weld a fuel tank unless the tank has been thoroughly flushed or filled with water to

eliminate combustible vapors.

Do not tow tractor faster than 2 mph or farther than 1 mile, and then only when no other means of recov-

ery are available.

During Operation

Always correct or report any faulty conditions that may result in further damage to the tractor or

cause injury to personnel.

Never wipe, oil, refuel, or adjust any part of the tractor while the engine is in operation except for

designated adjustments that must be made with the engine operating.

To prevent serious burns from live steam use extreme caution in releasing the radiator cap when engine

has been overheated. If time permits, stop the engine, let cool before removing cap.

In severe cold weather, do not touch any metal parts of the tractor with the flesh. The flesh could stick

and incur a severe frost injury.

Do not turn disconnect switch off while engine is operating.

After Operation

Before leaving the tractor, lower dozer blade to ground (control lever in float position), place the

range selector lever in NEUTRAL START position and lock with the safety lever.

Ventilate area well after using the fire extinguisher to eliminate the fumes.

They are toxic and deadly

poison.

Never leave a heavy component or assembly in an unstable position that could result in the component

or assembly falling on personnel.

Do not tow tractor faster than 2 mph or farther than 1 mile, and then only when no other means of re-

covery are available.

A CAREFUL OPERATOR IS THE BEST INSURANCE AGAINST AN ACCIDENT.
