SAFETY

GENERAL

SAFETY

l11e following safety recommendations are not intended to

address

every possible safety aspect

of

operating this vehicle,

but

rather serve

as

a guide. Eagle has taken extensive measures to make sure the ALL vehicles are designed

and

tested

to be safe when they leave the factory. Modifications made to the vehicle after it leaves the factory can cause the vehicle

to be tmsafe. In any situation,

common

sense

and

caution

should

always be applied

and

is ultimately the owner/

operator's

responsibility.

THIS TRACTOR

IS

A DESIGNED TO

BE

A DEDICATED "WORKING" VEHICLE. IT

IS

NOT DESIGNED FOR OR IN-

TENDED

TO

BE

USED FOR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES, RACING OR GENERAL "HORSE PLAY ACTIVITIES".

THE TRACTOR

AND

SURROUNDING OBJECTS.

! WARNING: FAILURE

TO

COMPLY WITH

THE

FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERI-

OUS

INJURY

OR

DEATH AS

WELL

AS EQUIPMENT DAMAGE!

• Follow all company, facility

and

OSHA Safety Rules.

If

you

don't

have a copy of these, request a copy from

should

always

be reduced when entering a

turn

to assure complete control

of

the vehicle

and

any

towed loads. Take all corners

wide, especially

if

towing trailers.

• Speed

should

always be

ad

ju

sted

to allow for a safe

and

controlled stop, considering the space available for

stopping

and

the

weight

of the load being moved. Avoid

sudden

stops.

• Reduce speed

when

approaching speed

bumps.

• Do

not

tamper with the engine

speed

governor.

• Never drive crossways

on

a slope.

• Avoid operating

Be

sure

hitch is locked/fastened into the closed

position.

• The tow

ed

cargo load is secure

and

within the exterior frame

of

the vehicle that is carrying the lo

ad

.

• For maximum tractor

and

load control

and

stability,

as

well

as

to

wing

power, be sure the tongue of the trailer is

parallel

to

the

ground

when

cmmected to the tractor's hitch.

• Watch the trailer's rear

swing

SERVICING

SAFETY

• Always stop the tractor,

turn

the

eng

ine off,

put

in "Park"

and

apply

the parking brake when making any adjust-

ment

s

or

servicing the unit.

• Never refuel the tractor when the engine is running.

• DO NOT SMOKE WHEN REFUELING.

• Do not over

fill

the fuel tank. Do

not

fill

beyond bottom

of

fuel filler screen. Clean off any spilled fuel immedi-

ately.

• Keep fuel stored well away from

open

flames, possible sparks

or

sources of excessively high temperatures.

• Do not ever rem.ove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, as serious burns may result. Always check coolant

level and

add

cool

ant

at

the overflow reservoir.

• Avoid touching a

hot

engine, exhaust, coolant pipes

or

hydraulic com

pon

ents as

ser

i

ous

burns

may

occur.

• This tractor comes factory

equipped

with a sealed "maintenance free" battery. Do

not

endeavor to service the

battery.

• When connecting

or

disconnecting battery

ca

bl

es, always first remove the cable

on

the negative terminal(-) and

when

reconnecting, repla

ce

it last. This will prevent sparks from accidental gratmding.

• PREVENT

BATTERY

EXPLOSIONS. Do

not

smoke

near

the battery. Fumes from batteries are explosive. Keep

away

from all sparks,

open

flames etc

...

Remove bracelets; watch bands etc. prior to installing, removing

or

se

r-

vicing a battery. Do

not

short

the battery terminals.

• AVOID ACID BURNS. The battery acid is poisonous

and

is strong

enough

to

burn

skin, eat holes in clothing

and

cause blindness

if

splashed in the eyes.

If

battery acid is spilled

or

splashed, always immediately

wash

your

skin

and

clothing. Apply lime

or

baking soda to help neutralize the acid. Seek medical assistance.

TRANSMISSION

OPERATION

The

transmission is controlled by a "lever type" gearshift located in the instrument panel or console. The control

has

siJ

selector positions- P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), 2 (Second)

and

1 (First).

In

entering

or

leaving a gem

position, the lever

must

be moved

past

a gate. To

do

this, place the palm

of

your

hand

on

the top

of

the selector !eve:

and

reach

under

with your fingers

and

grip the release mechanism

and

pull up (or squeeze). Shift to the desired posi·

tion

and

release the selector.

• Keep

your

foot

ON

the brake pedal

and

OFF the accelerator

and

release the parking brake before shifting the

h·ansmission into gear.

• Before shifting from forward to reverse

or

reverse to forward, bring the vehicle to a complete

stop

.

Do

not

shift

into gear except

when

the engine is

at

idle speed.

• Before dismotmting from the tractor, place the h·ansmission

in

"PARK"

and

apply the

parking

brake.

BRAKING

PARKING BRAKE

The

parking

brake is operated

by

ha

nd

lever action.

By

pulling back

on

the lever,

you

activate

and

set the brake. Push-

ing forward will release the brake. The brake is adjustable for braking pressure

by

rotating the knob

on

the

end

of

the

handle

lever. A clockwise direction is used to increase the brake holding pressure

and

counter clockwise to reduce the

pressure.

l.

FOOT BRAKE

T

he

foot brake is

power

assisted

and

s

hould

be applied with a

stead

y

and

firm

downward

pressure.

If

the

assist

should

fail, the brakes will still operate mechanically

but

will require increased foot pressure. Always

an

ticipate that

you

may have to stop unexpectedly--BE PREPARED!

Speed

should

always be adjusted to allow for a safe

and

controlled stop. Adjust your speed based

on

the surface condi-

tions, the space available for stopping

and

th

e weight of the load being moved. A VOID SUDDEN

STOPS!

CAUTION:

IF

DRIVING

ON

WET OR SLIPPERY SURFACES--LOWER SPEED

AND
