Safety should always be the top priority when working with any tool or piece of equipment. Never operate any equipment without fully understanding its operation and safety precautions. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, gloves, and appropriate footwear, when working on the tractor. When working with hydraulic systems, be aware of the potential for high-pressure fluid injection. Never attempt to stop a hydraulic leak with your bare hands. Before working on the electrical system, always disconnect the battery negative terminal to prevent electrical shocks. When using power tools, ensure they are properly grounded and in good working order. Never operate any tool or equipment under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Following these safety precautions will significantly reduce the risk of injury and ensure a safe working environment.
