[Otherwise]
There is a risk of getting entangled in the

• When engaging or disengaging the implement by
moving the tractor, make sure that no one is allowed
around the tractor or between the implement and the
tractor.
• Engage or disengage the implement on a flat and
safe place. Supply proper lighting at all times and
especially at night.
• When engaging a heavy implement, load the weight
on the front to keep the balance of the tractor.
• When adjusting the implement, apply the parking
brake, switch off the engine, and confirm that the
PTO lever is on the "N" position.
• When towing something, make sure to use the draw-
bar.
