When working on your tractor, you want to be safe.
Safety is key!
Here are a few safety tips to follow before you work on your tractor:
Park the tractor on level and solid ground.
Securely engage the parking brake.
Move all levers to N (neutral) position.
Lower all the implements to the ground.
Release pressure from the hydraulic system.
Shut off the engine.
Remove the key for service work (that does not need running the engine or the tractor).
Allow the engine and fluids to cool down completely.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothes. (Necktie, scarf, or baggy or torn clothing that could get caught with moving tools and/or parts resulting in severe injury.)
Remove jewelry such as rings and necklaces. (To prevent electrical short circuits and entanglement with moving tools and/or parts resulting in severe injury.)
Wear additional protection when applicable. (Protective goggles, clear eye protection, proper tinted eye protection for cutting and welding, hearing protection, ear protection, respirator, protective/chemically resistant gloves, armored footwear, protective jackets, and chaps.)
If wearing long hair, tie it behind the back to secure and prevent entanglement with moving parts.
Avoid working under any hydraulically supported devices. (Hydraulically supported devices can leak, suddenly settle down, or be accidentally lowered.)
If working beneath the tractor or an implement is unavoidable, ensure to use a stand or lift apparatus with the capacity of more than 3 tons.
