Operating Information

We encourage anyone operating heavy duty machinery such as Terramite tractors to exercise common sense, and be familiar with applicable safety procedures for the type of work you are undertaking. The following information is intended to provide general operating guidelines for normal use.

PROCEDURES FOR PREPARATION

• Always load and unload on a level surface.
  
• Keep everyone clear of the work area.
  
• Keep attachments secure in transport mode - always lower loader bucket.
  
• Stop machine, shift controls to neutral and lock.
  
• Check all hydraulic controls; turn off and remove ignition key.
  
• Do not perform any maintenance on machine unless you are authorized and qualified.
  
• Attach a "DO NOT OPERATE" tag to the steering wheel before performing any task.
  
• If the engine should not be started, make a note on the "DO NOT OPERATE" tag and cover the ignition switch with tape or a tag.
  
• Work on machines only in a clean area with plenty of light and ventilation. Be careful to remove any slip hazards from area.

• Never run the engine in an enclosed area! Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide - an odorless and deadly poison - serious injury or death may result.
  
• If fuel is spilled, move machine away from area and avoid creating any source of ignition. Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
  
• Never store or use fuel near an open flame. Fuel may ignite, leading to serious injury or death.
  
• Refuel only in well- ventilated areas.
  
• Do not operate engine without a muffler.
  
• Inspect exhaust pipe and muffler and clear any obstructions.
  
• Do not operate engine if air cleaner or cover is missing.
  
• Do not choke the carburetor to stop engine.
  
• Never run engine at excessive speed and do not tamper with governor springs and settings.
  
• Do not touch or work near hot mufflers. Serious burns may result.
  
• Always keep hands and feet clear of moving parts.
  
• Disconnect negative cable from battery when machine is stored to prevent accidental starting.

Keep any loose clothing away from moving parts. In addition, if you wear your hair long, take every precaution to avoid getting hair tangled in moving machinery or tools. Wear a hat and tuck in long hair.
