Risk of the tractor overturning

The risk of the tractor overturning is increased especially when the following is used:
a narrow wheel gauge
inappropriate tractor travelling speed
travel on the slope along a contour line or turning on the slope
driving through ditches, depressions, near edges of ditches, chuckholes, steep slopes or when driving
on edges of water courses and water areas
driving up the steep slope, risk of overturning the tractor back
driving with the trailer, semi-trailer or machine with the three-point hitch connection that lifts the centre
of gravity of the tractor or combination of vehicles
tilting of trailers and semi-trailers
Not all the cases that can cause overturning of the tractor are listed. Pay attention to driving of
the tractor and be prepared to resolve situations which can threaten stability of the machine.

Transportation of persons, operation

The number of persons transported by the tractor must not exceed the number specified in the
technical certificate of the tractor.
Persons that are not authorized to work with the attached implement must not stand between the
tractor and the hitched machine (implement).
Before putting the tractor in motion make sure there is no person or obstacle in the driving direction.
Recovery, pushing
Use the tow bar or rope fixed in the front hitch to rescue the sunken tractor.
Never use chains! There is a risk of death in case that the chain breaks!
It is dangerous to stay near the tow rope during the rescue operation.
It is forbidden to use tractor axles (individual travel wheels) as a winch with extrication of the stuck
tractor.
The front hitch is only used to tow or rescue the stand-alone tractor, i.e. without the trailer or another
additional device. More information in the chapter TRANSPORT USE.
Never rescue the tractor when reduced gears are shifted.
When pushing another vehicle (trailers, semi-trailers, etc.) with the tractor, never use beams or bars
freely inserted between the tractor and the pushed item.
In case of use of the tractor for wrecking or towing purposes, use only the rear hitch.
When towing the tractor, the reduction gear shift lever must be in the neutral position.
