    Tractor
    DO NOT use this machine unless a teacher has instructed
    you in its safe use and operation and has given permission.

    PRE-OPERATIONAL SAFETY CHECKS


    1. Ensure that the seatbelt, Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS), Falling Objects Protective Structure
    (FOPS) (where fitted) and Power Take-Off (PTO) guard are in sound condition.
    2. Faulty equipment must not be used. Report suspect machinery immediately.
    3. Check the 3-point linkage, pneumatic and hydraulic systems are functioning.
    4. Use only implements that meet the specifications listed in the vehicle operation manual.
    5. Ensure tractor driver is trained and competent and if driving on public roads, appropriately licensed.
    6. If the tractor is used on public roads, ensure that all lights and warning devices are operational and the
    vehicle is registered.

    OPERATIONAL SAFETY CHECKS


    1. Never start or operate levers from anywhere other than the seat.
    2. Before starting the tractor, ensure all levers are in their neutral positions, the parking brake is engaged
    and the clutch and PTO are disengaged.
    3. Do not operate or idle engine in a non-ventilated area.
    4. Pull only from the drawbar or hitch.
    5. Drive at speed slow enough to keep control over unexpected hazards.
    6. Do not operate near ditches, holes or embankments, which may collapse under the tractors weight.
    7. Always reverse when going up a steep slope. Avoid slopes that are too steep for safe operation.
    8. Do not dismount from a tractor while the engine is running unless the vehicle has completely stopped,
    the transmission is in park position and the parking brake is fully engaged.
    9. Ensure that no person or animal is endangered when operating the equipment.
    10. Ensure bucket (if fitted) is raised above line of site.
    11. When stopping the tractor:
    Park on even ground, disengage the PTO and lower all implements.
    Place all control levers in their neutral positions, apply the parking brake, turn off the engine and
    remove the keys.
    Ensure the tractor has come to a complete stop before dismounting.
