SAFETY PRECAUTIONS The following precautions are
suggested to help prevent accidents. A careful
operator is the best operator. Most accidents can
be avoided by observing certain precautions. Read
and take the following precautions before
operating this tractor to help prevent accidents.
Equip- ment should be operated only by those who
are responsible and instructed to do so.
THE TRACTOR 1. Read the Operator's Manual
carefully before using the tractor. Lack of
operating knowledge can lead to ac- cidents.
3. Do not bypass the starter safety switch.
Consult your Ford Tractor-Equipment Dealer if
your starter safety controls malfunction. Use
jumper cables only in the recommended manner,
improper use can result in trac- tor runaway.

1. Use an approved roll bar and seat belt for safe
   opera- tion. Overturning a tractor without a
   roll bar can result in death or injury. If your
   tractor is not equipped with a roll bar and seat
   belt, see your Ford Tractor Equipment Dealer.
2. Always use the seat belt when the roll bar is
   installed. Do not use the seat belt if the roll
   bar is removed from the tractor.

4. Do not get off the tractor while it is in mot
ion.

brake before getting off the tractor.
6. Always apply the parking brake and remove the
starter key when leaving the unit parked or
unattended.
7. Never leave the unit when it is parked on an
incline. Always park the unit on level ground
where possible. If the unit is to be parked on an
incline, always lower the buckets so that the
cutting lips contact the ground, ap- ply the
parking brake, and securely block the wheels.
4. If a front end loader is to be installed,
always use a FOPS canopy to avoid injury from
falling objects.
5. Use the handholds and stop plates when getting
on and off the tractor to prevent falls. Keep
steps and platform cleared of mud and debris.
8. Do not operate the tractor engine in an
enclosed building without adequate ventilation.
Exhaust fumes can suffocate you.

1. Do not permit anyone but the operator to ride on
   the tractor. There is no safe place for extra
   riders.
2. Replace all missing, illegible or damaged safety
   decals. See list of decals on Page 103.
3. Keep safety decals clean of dirt and grime.

the engine is run- ning. However, if minor engine
adjustments must be made, apply the parking
brake, securely block the wheels, and use extreme
caution. Be certain that the loader is fully
lowered or supported so that it cannot fall.
3. A I w a y s u se t h e r ec o m m en d ed
a mo un t o f counterweighting to ensure good
stability.
4. Be careful when handling round objects such
as round bales, poles, etc. Lifting too high or
rolling bucket too far back could result in these
objects rolling rearward down the loader arms on
the operator.
4. For safe operation, observe proper
maintenance and repair of all pivot pins,
hydraulic cylinders, hoses, snap rings, and main
attaching bolts prior to each day's operat ion.

• TIPS FOR BETTER AIR CONDITIONING

If the tractor has been parked with the windows
and doors closed during hot weather (especially
under a direct sun), the air conditioner will
cool much faster if a window is left partially
open for two or three minutes after the blower
motor has been turned on. This will force most of
the warm air out of the cab. After the air has
cooled suffi- ciently, close the window and
operate the air conditioner in the normal manner.

NOTE An air conditioner removes a con-
siderable amount of moisture from the air as the
air passes through the cooling system. Drain
hoses lead from the air conditioner evaporator to
under the tractor. Do not be concerned if, after
the tractor engine is stopped, a pool of water
col- lects on the ground below the drain hose
outlets.

• If your tractor is equipped with both heater and
  air conditioner, the heater and air conditioner
  can be used together to defog the cab windows, as
  follows
• With the tractor engine at normal operating
  temperature, turn the heater and blower
  controls to their maximum settings.
• Turn the air conditioner temperature con- trol
  to its intermediate position.
• Rotate the ventilation louvers as necessary to
  direct the flow of air against the windows.
• Regulate the temperature of the air flowing from
  the louvers by regulating the air condi- tioner
  temperature control.
• Operate the heater and air conditioner with the
  blower on high until the windows are clear.
  Then, turn the air conditioner temperature
  control OFF" and adjust the heater and blower
  control to maintain the desired air temperature.
