New Holland T4.75F Operator's Manual page 23

Use of the tractor
1. Select the most suitable wheel setting for the work in
hand, i.e.: the setting that provides the best stability.
2. Engage the clutch slowly: if engaged too quickly, es-
pecially when the tractor is getting out of a hole, ditch
or operating on muddy ground or steep slopes, the
tractor may overturn. Release the clutch immediately
if the front wheels start to lift.
3. When travelling downhill, keep the tractor in gear.
Never release the clutch and never leave the gears
in neutral.
4. When the tractor is moving, the operator must remain
correctly seated in the driving position.
5. Never get on or off the tractor while in movement.
6. When using the brakes, press the pedal down slowly.
7. Avoid taking bends at high speeds.
8. Always use the tractor at a speed that will guarantee
safe operation on the type of land being worked.
When working on uneven ground, use maximum
care to ensure proper stability.
9. If you have to work with the tractor on a gradient,
for example on hillsides, drive at moderate speed
especially when taking bends.

10. Proceed with maximum caution when working with
the wheels near the edge of ditches or slopes.
11. When driving on public highways, observe the High-
way Code.
12. When driving, do not rest your feet on the brake or
clutch pedals.
13. Never carry passengers, not even inside the cab, un-
less the machine is fitted with an approved extra seat.
14. When driving on roads, connect the brake pedals us-
ing the plate provided. Braking when the pedals are
not connected could cause the tractor to skid. Avoid
excessive wear on the brakes by using engine brak-
ing.
Towing and transport
1. To guarantee tractor stability when moving, adjust the
hitching device according to the trailer or implement to
be used.
2. Drive slowly when towing extremely heavy loads.
3. For your own safety, do not tow trailers that are not
fitted with an independent braking system.
4. If the tractor is used to tow heavy loads, always use
the hitching device and never hitch loads onto the
lower arms or the top link of the three-point linkage,
since in the latter case there is a danger of rearing up
or overturning.
