7. If the tractor drive wheels are stuck, shift to reverse gear and back out, to prevent from lifting the front wheels off the ground and possibly rolling the tractor over backwards. 8. Slow moving vehicles on highways are dangerous. Use a slow moving (SMV) sign in conjunction with headlights, tail lights and flashing warning lights.
9. The cooling system is operated under pressure which is controlled by the radiator cap. It is dangerous to remove the cap while the system is hot. Allow the engine to cool, then turn the cap slowly to the first stop and allow the pressure to escape before removing the cap entirely. 10.
Do not: Modify, drill, weld or alter the CAB/ROPS in any way. Doing so could render you liable to legal prosecution in some counties. Attempt to straighten or weld any part of the CAB/ROPS or retaining brackets which have suffered damage. By doing so you may weaken the structure and endanger you safety. III) Secure any parts on the CAB/ROPS or attach it with other than special high tensile bolts and nuts specified.

Flow Control knob 15. The Position and Draft Control levers are used in conjunction to raise or lower the three-point linkage (and implement) to the required height and adjust the working depth. In order to operate the three-point linkage, the external hydraulics control lever must be kept in neutral position.
The hydraulic lift system will now provide normal draft response within the range set by the position control. This adjustment provides a more uniform depth while maintaining an even pull in widely varying soil conditions. Flow and sensitivity control (fig. 3.2) Your tractor is equipped with hydraulic Flow and Sensitivity Control mechanism., operated by two knobs provided on the platform area.
WARNING: Do not leave the joystick in its front lock position unless needed, to avoid hydraulic pump damage. WARNING: Leaking fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
