SAFETY
SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE
Most of the accidents, which occur while the operator is using the machine or the equipment or
carrying out maintenance and repair activities, are caused by the non-compliance with the main
safety requirements.
Therefore the potential risks must be fully understood and special attention must be paid to the
activity which is being executed.
If potentially dangerous situations are known,
accidents can be prevented!
USER’S REQUIREMENTS
The equipment user must have the following:
Physical: good sight, co-ordination and capability to execute all instructions in a safe manner.
Mental: the users must understand and follow the prescribed norms, rules and safety measures.
They must be careful, pay attention to their own safety and the safety of other people and act
properly and in a responsible way.
Training: the users must read and understand this manual, its pictures and charts, and the
identification and hazard plates. They must be trained and qualified to perform any use and
maintenance activities.
WORK CLOTHING
The following clothing and personal protective equipment must be used when working and executing
maintenance and repair activities:
-Overalls or any other comfortable outfit; make sure that they are not too loose since they
might be caught by moving parts.
-Protective gloves.
-Goggles or mask to protect the eyes and face.
-Safety helmet.
-Safety shoes.
Make sure that the personal protective equipment is properly
stored and complies with the laws in force.
GENERAL SAFETY NORMS

Prepare the work:
-Do not drink alcohol, take drugs, or any other substances which may affect the your ability to
use the equipment before or when working.
-Make sure that there is sufficient fuel in the tractor to prevent the machine from stopping during
work.
-Do not use the equipment under unsafe conditions, e.g. do not make temporary repairs just to
start or keep working; do not work at night if the area is not well illuminated.
When working or executing maintenance activities, remember:
-The labels and stickers providing instructions on the use of the equipment or information on
dangers must not be removed or hidden, and must be legible.
-Do not remove the safety devices, covers and safety guards, unless maintenance activities are
being carried out. If the safety devices must be removed, turn the engine off, remove them
correctly and re-install them before turning the tractor on.
-Do not lubricate, clean or adjust moving parts.
-Use the appropriate tools to execute maintenance or adjustment activities on the equipment.
-Do not use damaged or unsuitable tools, e.g. pliers rather than wrenches etc.
-Prior to carrying out activities on hydraulic lines under pressure, or disconnecting their
components, make sure that the line is no longer under pressure and that it does not contain
any hot fluids.
-Check all the fittings and make sure that they are well connected before supplying pressure to
the hydraulic lines.
-Make sure that no tools, clothes or any other materials are left in areas where moving parts are
present when the maintenance and repair activities are completed.
-Do not give directions and make signals at the same time during a manoeuvre. Manoeuvre
directions and signals must be given from one person only.
-Do not unexpectedly call an operator, if not necessary. Do not startle the operator, e.g. by
throwing objects.
-Pay attention to people in the vicinity of the work area, especially children!
-Make sure that nobody is standing in the working range of the equipment.
-Do not use the equipment to lift people.
-When the equipment is not needed, turn the engine off, leave the vehicle on a flat surface, with
the first gear and the parking brake engaged. Disengage the power take off.
-Do not execute any cleaning, lubrication, repair or adjustments when the engine is running and
the equipment is in the raised position.
