Tractor Safety Tips

• Keep your tractor in good repair.

• Never start the tractor from the ground; always be in the seat.

• Do not start the tractor by using the bypass starting procedures.

• Wear your seat belt if your tractor is equipped with a Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS). Most tractors can be retrofitted with a ROPS. Consult your local tractor dealer!

• No seat, no rider.

• When working with PTO implements, turn the tractor off to perform maintenance and remove the key.

• Make sure the PTO master shield is in place.

• To prevent rollover:
         · Avoid depressions; do not drive too close to a ditch bank
          · Use proper hitch points
          · Use caution while on steep areas
          · Avoid excessive speeds while turning
          · Check lights and double- check that the slow moving vehicle emblem is visible.
          · Be aware of all vehicular traffic and bystanders.
