SAFE OPERATION
slope disengaging the clutch or changing gears to
neutral could cause loss of control.
• Special attention should be made to the weight and
location of implements and loads as such will affect
the stability of the tractor.
• To improve stability on slope, set widest wheel
tread as shown in Front wheels on page 51, Rear
wheels on page 52.
Follow recommendations for proper ballasting.

• Lock the 2 brake pedals together to help assure
straight-line stops. Uneven braking at road speeds
could cause the tractor to tip over.

• Check the front wheel engagement. The braking
characteristics are different between 2 and 4-wheel
drive. Be aware of the difference and use carefully.
• Always slow the tractor down before turning.
Turning at high speed may tip the tractor over.
• Make sure that the slow moving vehicle (SMV) sign
is clean and visible. Use hazard lights and turn
signals as required.

• Drive at speeds that allow you to maintain control at
all times.
• Do not apply the differential lock while traveling at
road speeds. The tractor may run out of control.
• Avoid sudden motions of the steering wheel as they
can lead to a dangerous loss of stability. The risk is
especially great when the tractor is traveling at road
speeds.
• Keep the ROPS in the "UP" position and wear the
seat belt when driving the tractor on the road.
Otherwise, you will not be protected in the event of
a tractor roll-over.
• Do not operate an implement while the tractor is on
the road. Lock the 3-point hitch in the raised
position.
• When towing other equipment, use a safety chain
and place an SMV emblem on it as well.
(1) Safety chain
• Set the implement lowering speed knob in the
"LOCK" position to hold the implement in the raised
position.
