Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem is on the tractor
and is clearly visible. Use the hazard lights and
turn lights as required by the currently effective
local laws or regulations.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
7. Always travel at a speed that allows you to
maintain control of the tractor.
8. Avoid engaging differential lock while traveling on
a road. It may cause the operator to lose control
of the tractor.
9. While traveling on a road, do not suddenly turn
the steering wheel. Such an action can lead to
loss in the stability of the tractor, and can cause
an extremely dangerous situation.
10. While on a road, do not attempt to operate an
implement. During transportation, put the 3-point
hitch control/cutting height adjustment lever in its
raised position and lock it with the position stop
knob. Do not fully close the hydraulic flow control/
stop knob.
3. Do not park on a steep slope. Rather, park on
solid, flat, level ground whenever possible. If
parking on a slope is unavoidable, park the
tractor across the slope, and lower the implement
to the ground and chock the wheels.
4. Allow the tractor to cool at least 5 minutes before
storing.
