The hazard is not so great during the training, since the tractor is operating on level ground at slow speed without attached equipment. After the new operator has learned to operate the tractor alone in a level area, the next step is to attach and operate the equipment. The trainer should now stay off the tractor. The new operator should gradually work into the more complex jobs of tractor operation. Many factors affect the reliability and safety of your tractor.
Safe operation begins with making a pre-operational check before each tractor use.
Keeping the tractor in good repair is an important part of safety. Read it, know and understand the information in it. Follow all operating precautions and the recommendations outlined in the manual. Before starting the tractor, make one more check-of your clothing. Loose, torn, or bulky clothing can catch on moving parts, pedals, or levers.
