General Safety
For the safety of others and yourself, please read and follow the precautions in this
operator’s manual. Pay particular attention to the following safety aspects of operating
machinery.
Do not ride on or allow passengers on the machine.
Always use a recognised hitch pin with a safety
clip to hook trailed implements on behind the
tractor.
Always ensure when using a quick hitch that the
locking tab has come out and is in the locked
position before moving.
When pulling trailed implements or loads, be sure
to use a tractor of greater or equal weight than the
combined weight of the load and trailer.

Carry a suitable fire extinguisher.
A fire can ignite under certain conditions, so please take the following precautions:
After running your machine for a short time, check for defective
bearings. A faulty bearing can become very hot, eventually
discolouring, requiring immediate replacement.
Do not allow combustible material to accumulate inside guards or
around rollers and other moving parts.
If your machine becomes blocked, stop immediately and remove the
obstruction.
Be careful when operating in hot or dry conditions or on extreme fire risk days.
Never operate your machine without the safety
guards in place.
All chains should be properly
adjusted and replaced when
necessary.

WideTrac Operation & Parts Manual
Release all hydraulic pressure from
implements before commencing service
work. Never look for suspected oil leaks
with your hands or body - use a piece of
cardboard instead.
Any fluid that penetrates the skin will
have to be removed immediately by a
medical expert. Seek specialist advice
on this type of injury.
Never attempt to unblock equipment while it is
still operating.
Always disengage power take-off, hydraulics
and shut down engine before removing
materials, checking or servicing.
Failure to follow these precautions is likely to
result in serious injury.
Wear proper protective clothing. Loose attire can easily
be snagged by rotating machinery resulting in serious
injury or death.
