FIEI Releases Tractor-
Safety Manual
CHICAGO, IL. The Farm
and Industrial Equipment Institute
has released a new illustrated
manual outlining tips for safe use
of wheeled agricultural tractors.
The 48-page booklet is intended
to help communic&te important
safety information to owners,
operators, service personnel and
others who may be involved with
agricultural tractors. The manual
covers safe tractor inspection,
start-up, operation, road transport,
shutdown and maintenance. For
example, it provides many valu
able tips on avoiding side and rear
overturns, and it stresses the
importance of making sure trac
tors are equipped with rollover
protective structures (ROPS).
The manual is designed for use
with agricultural tractors in gener
al. Thus, the Agricultural Tractor
Safety Manual is suitable for old
and new machines alike—
regardless of make or model.
However, it is not a substitute for
the tractor and implement manu
facturers’ manuals.
The FIEI “Agricultural Tractor
Safety Manual” was developed
from the combined experience of
several manufacturers—
specifically, members of the Farm
& Industrial Equipment Institute.
Information in the manual is
intended to augment specific safe
ty information and teachings indi
vidual manufacturers and agricul
tural safety leaders publish.
The convenient size and attrac
tive illustrations make the safety
manual easy to use on the farm or
ranch. In addition, it can be an aid
lo the safety information and edu
cational activities of farm organi
zations, vocational agricultural
schools, farm youth organizations,
agricultural extension service and
insurance companies.
Other FIEI safety manuals use
ful on the farm or ranch are avail
able for skid steer loaders, port
able grain augers, agricultural
mowers, backhoe loaders,
trenchers, and rough terrain
forklifts.

1893, is the major trade associa
