SAFE OPERATION
-
C Driving the tractor on the road
1. Lock the 2 brake pedals together to help assure
straight-line stops. Uneven braking at road speeds
could cause the tractor to tip over.
(1) Brake Pedal (LH)
(A) Whenever travelling on the road
(2) Brake Pedal (RH)
(3) Brake Pedal Lock
2. Check the front wheel engagement. The braking
characteristics are different between 2 and 4-wheel
drive. Be aware of the difference and use carefully.
3. Always slow the tractor down before turning. Turning
at high speed may tip the tractor over.
4. Make sure that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign is
clean and visible. Use hazard lights and turn signals as
required.
(1) SMV emblem
(2) Bracket
5. Observe all local traffic and safety regulations.
6. Turn the headlights on. Dim them when meeting
another vehicle.
7. Drive at speeds that allow you to maintain control at all
times.
8. Do not apply the differential lock while traveling at road
speeds. The tractor may run out of control.
9. 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.
10. Do not operate an implement while the tractor is on the
road. Lock the 3-point hitch in the raised position.
11. When towing other equipment, use a safety chain and
place an SMV emblem on it as well.
(1) Safety chain
12. Set the 3-point hitch lowering speed knob in the
"LOCK" position to hold the implement in the raised
position.
(1) 3-point hitch lowering speed knob
3. PARKING THE TRACTOR
1. Disengage the PTO, lower all implements to the
ground, place all control levers in their neutral
positions, set the parking brake, stop the engine,
remove the key from the ignition and lock the cab door
(if equipped). Leaving transmission in gear with the
engine stopped will not prevent tractor from rolling.
2. Make sure that the tractor has come to a complete
stop before dismounting.
3. Avoid parking on steep slopes, if at all possible park on
a firm and level surface; if not, park across a slope and
chock the wheels.
Failure to comply with this warning may allow the
tractor to move and could cause injury or death.
(A) "FAST"
(B) "SLOW"
(C) "LOCK"
