SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USERS
DRIVING OPERATION
10. Hoses of the hydrostatic steering,
brakes and fuel system must be checked
and replaced immediately if any signs of
damage are found. These are some
examples of hose damage signs: -
cracks on the hose surface, releasing of
pre-tensioning of hose connection (which
can be verified by easy removal of the
hose from the connection) and
mechanical damage of the hose. Hoses
with indicated service life must be
replaced immediately after the expiration
of the service period.
11. If the tractor uses bio-fuel, the fuel
system must be equipped with REP
hoses (the fuel system is equipped with
REP 6 hoses by the manufacturer).
12. The brakes and steering must be in
the perfect condition all the time.
13. During driving on roads with trailers
and tools the brake pedals must be
connected with a latch.
14. Driving downhill without an engaged
gear is forbidden.
15. Pay special attention when driving on
a slope and muddy, sandy, icy or uneven
ground.
16. Observe the maximum prescribed
slope gradient of 12°.
17. Respect the total permissible weight
of the tractor and trailer specified on the
data plate of the tractor or on the rear
wheel mud-guard.
18. Do not use the differential lock when
driving into a bend.
19. It is forbidden to get into and out of a
moving tractor.
20. When driving with machines attached
to the rear hitches the load of the steered
axle must not drop below 18 % of the
current weight of the set.
21. When driving the tractor with
agricultural machines attached to the
front three-point hitch, reduce the driving
speed to 20 km/h.
22. During aggregation of Zetor Forterra
tractors with machines and implements
with high tensile resistance when the
engine speed drops and the engine
tends to stall, the 1R, 2R reduced gears
must not be used for the work with these
machines (risk of shaft twist-off). .
TRANSPORTATION OF PERSONS,
OPERATION
23. The number of persons transported

hitched machine (implement).
25. Before putting the tractor in motion
make sure there is no person or obstacle
in the driving direction.
26. Observe the prescribed slope
gradient, which has the value of 12° for
the Zetor Forterra 95, 105, 115, 125
tractors.
RECOVERY, PUSHING
27. To recover a tractor that has sunk in
mud use a tow bar or rope attached to
the front hook.
Never use chains! Rupture of
the chain represents a danger
of death!
28. During recovery it is dangerous to
stand near the towing rope.
29. It is prohibited to use the tractor axles
(individual wheels) as a winch for
releasing a sunken tractor.
30. The front hook should be only use to
recover the entire tractor, i.e. without any
trailer or another attached implement.
31. Never recover the tractor with
reduced gears engaged.
32. When pushing other vehicles
(trailers, implements, etc.) with the
tractor never insert free wooden blocks
or bars between the tractor and the
pushed vehicle.
LEAVING THE TRACTOR
33. Do not park the tractor with an
attached implement in the lifted position.
