9.1 Starting the Tractor
The procedure to start the tractor is model specific.
Refer to the tractor operator's manual for starting
procedures for your particular tractor. Consult an
authorized dealer if the starting procedure is
unclear. Ensure the 3-point control lever is in the
lowered position and the PTO is disengaged
before starting the tractor. OPS-U-0033str
9.2 Brake Lock and Differential Setting
Make sure the tractor brakes are in good
operating condition. Tractor brakes can be set to
operate independently allowing single rear wheel
braking action or locked together to provide
simultaneous rear wheel braking.

Always disengage the tractor differential lock
when turning. When engaged the differential lock
will prevent or limit the tractor from turning. During
normal cutting conditions, locking the differential
provides no benefit and should not be used.
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes.
When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance increases. Use
extreme care and reduce your speed in these conditions. When operating in traffic, always
use the Tractor's flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around
you and watch out for the other guy. OPS-U- 0013 str
