lever in the down position and the P . T.O. control
switch and the transmission lever in neutral

6. Tighten all connections before starting the
engine or pressurizing lines.
7. Pull only from the pick-up hitch, swinging draw-
bar or the lower link draw-bar in the lowered
position. Use only a draw-bar pin that locks in
place. Pulling from the tractor rear axle or any
point above the axle may cause the tractor to tip
o v e r.
8. If the front end of the tractor tends to rise when
heavy implements are attached to the three-
point hitch, install front end weight. Do not
operate the tractor with a front end light.
9. Do not leave equipment in the raised position
when the tractor is stopped or unattended.
10. When installing or using an implement or other
attachment with the tractor, be sure to read the
" Specifications of Implement Limitations".
11. Know your equipment and its limitations.
12. When using an implement, be sure to install the
proper ballast weight on the tractor.

are correctly installed, and approved for use
with the tractor. Do not overload the tractor and
are operated and maintained in accordance
with the instructions issued by the equipment or
accessory manufacturer.
14. Remember that your tractor, if abused, can be
dangerous and become a hazard both to the
operator and to bystanders. Do not overload or
operate with attached equipment which is
unsafe, not designed for the particular task or is
poorly maintained.
Refer to "Specifications of Implement
Limitations" recommended by KIOTI Dealer,
