NSTMOP Part 2

Three safety start mechanisms used on modern tractors to prevent starting the tractor improperly include:

• ROPS, seat belts, and PTO stub guards

• neutral start switch, starter bypass covers, seat safety switch

• PTO shields, hydraulic power, electrical connections

• user ID, password, seat switch

What must you do to the tractor engine before engaging the PTO to operate an implement?

• slow down the RPMs

• speed up the RPMs

• maintain idle speed

• RPMs do not affect PTO operation

A tractor has one seat for the operator. Passengers should:

• stand on the drawbar

• hold onto the fenders

• sit on the axle

• never be allowed to ride on the tractor

Pushing one brake on a tractor while operating at a high speed can cause the tractor to:

• stop immediately

• rollover backward

• stall

• rollover sideways

Only start the tractor engine from:

• the ground

• the operator's seat

• standing on the platform

• standing on the steps

To steer a tractor and implement safety, you need to know which of the following:

• width and power of the tractor

• only the width of the implement

• width and length of the tractor and the implement

• all of the above

Controls that engage mechanisms using the tractor as a remote power source are color-coded:

• yellow

• red

• orange

• black
