NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision), which is identical with IS0 3600 : 1996 ‘Tractors,
machinery for agriculture and forestry, powered lawn and garden equipment - Operator’s
manuals - Content and presentation’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Agricultural
Tractors and Power Tillers Sectional Committee and approval of the Food and Agriculture Division
Council.
This standard was first published in 1976 and subsequently revised in 1983 and was identical
with IS0 3600 : 1981. With the revision of IS0 3600 in 1996 and it was decided to revise this
standard also.
In the adopted standard certain terminology and conventions are not identical to those used in
Indian Standards. Attention is drawn specially to the following:
a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should
be read as ‘Indian Standard’.
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current
practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
In this adopted standard, the following International Standards are referred to. Read in their
respective place, the following:

This safety alert symbol indicates important safety messages in this manual. When you see this symbol, be alert to
the possibility of injury, carefully read the message that follows, and inform other operators.
Figure 3 - Example explanation of the safety alert symbol
This machine is designed solely for use in customary agricultural or similar operations. Use in any other way is considered
as contrary to the intended use. Compliance with and strict adherence to the conditions of operation, service, and repair as
specified by the manufacturer, also constitute essential elements of the intended use.
This machine should be operated, serviced, and repaired only by persons who are familiar with its particular characteristics
and who are acquainted with the relevant safety procedures.
Accident prevention regulations,’ all other generally recognized regulations on safety and occupational medicine, and all road
traffic regulations must be observed at all times.
Any arbitrary modifications carried out to this machine may relieve the manufacturer of liability for any resulting damage or
injury.
