10. Tow only using the swinging bar or the lower link bar in the lower position. Use only the draw bar pin,
which is secured in the correct position. Towing using the tractor's rear axle carriers or any point
above the rear axle can cause the front part of the tractor to lift.
11. If the front part of the tractor tends to lift when heavy working implement is attached to the three-point
hitch, install the front ballast weights or front wheel weights. Do not operate a tractor with insufficiently
weighted front part.
12. Always use the hydraulic position control lever when attaching the implement and transporting the
implement. Make sure that the hydraulic couplers are properly mounted and that they will disconnect
safely in case of accidental detachment of implement.
13. Do not leave the implement in the lifted position.
14. Use the beacon, turn signal lights and slow moving vehicle (SMV) signs when driving on public roads
during both day and night time, unless prohibited by law.
15. Dim the tractor lights when meeting approaching vehicles at night. Make sure that the lights are
adjusted to avoid dazzling the eyes of the oncoming vehicle driver.
Tractor control
1. Watch where you drive,especially at the ends of the rows, the headlands, on the roads, around the
trees and at obstacles hanging low to ground.
2. To prevent the tractor from rolling over, drive the tractor at a safe speed, especially when driving on
uneven ground, when driving over ditches or slopes, and when turning in corners of areas and
parcels.
3. When driving on the road, do not disconnect the two brake pedals of the tractor from each other to
ensure better braking.
4. When driving downhill, shift the same gear in the tractor as uphill. Do not drive downhill with the
engine stopped or idling.
5. For safety reasons, any towed vehicle and/or trailer, the weight of which exceeds the maximum towed
weight, must be fitted with its own brakes.
6. If the tractor gets stuck or its tires are frozen to the ground, try to reverse to prevent the tractor from
rolling over.
Always make sure you have enough space above you, especially when transporting the tractor.
