Precautions Operating the Tractor 1. Before starting the tractor ensure parking brake is engaged, place the PTO switch in the "OFF" position, hydraulic control levers in downward position, remote control valve levers (5035) and transmission in neutral. 2. Do not apply load on tractor at low engine speeds. Always apply heavy loads at full throttle rpm of engine. 3. Do not start the engine or operate controls while standing besides the tractor. Always sit on the tractor seat when starting the engine or operating controls. 4. Transmission Neutral Switch In order to prevent accidental starting of the tractor in gear, a safety switch is provided. The starting circuit of the tractor is connected through the switch on the forward / reverse pedal system. This system becomes operative only when the forward / reverse pedal is in neutral condition. Do not bypass the safety Key Switch. Consult your Mahindra tractor dealer if your safety starting switch malfunctions. 5. Avoid accidental contact with the cruise control lever while the engine is running. Unexpected tractor movement can result from such contact and may cause accident.
Forward / Reverse Neutral Switch
Tractor will not start if PTO control switch and PTO On / Off switch are in ‘ON’ position. For starting both or one of the switches has to be in ‘OFF’ position.
6. Do not get off or climb the tractor while it is in motion. 7. Put the range lever in neutral position and apply parking brake before getting down from the tractor. 8. Do not operate tractor in an enclosed building without adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes can cause death. 9. Do not park the tractor on a steep slope. 10. If power steering ceases to operate, stop the tractor immediately. 11. Pull only from the swinging drawbar or the lower link drawbar in the down position. Use only a drawbar pin that locks in place. Pulling from the tractor rear axle carriers or any point above the rear axle may cause the tractor’s front end to lift and the tractor to turnover. 12. Always use hydraulic position control lever when attaching equipment / implements and when transporting equipment. Be sure that the hydraulic couplers are properly mounted and will disconnect safely in case of accidental detachment of implement. 13. Do not leave equipment/implements in the raised position. 14. Use the turn signal lamps and slow moving vehicle (SMV) signs when driving on public roads during both day and night time, unless prohibited by law. 15. Dim tractor Head lamps when meeting a vehicle at night. Be sure the Head lamps are adjusted to prevent blinding on the eyes of oncoming vehicle operator. 60
