CAUTION:
Never attach chains, ropes,
or the like to the roll bar for pulling pur-
poses; this can be very dangerous, as the
tractor can tip backward. Always pull
from the tractor drawbar.
CAUTION:
Be careful when driving
through door openings or under low over-
head objects. Make sure there is sufficient
clearance for the ROPS to clear the struc-
ture or object.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT BELT
To lengthen the belt, tip the buckle end down and pull
on the buckle until the ends can be joined.
To shorten the belt, buckle it, then pull on the loose end
until the belt is snug.

2. Flasher Warning Light
If the seat belt is to be cleaned, use soap and water. Do
not use carbon tetrachloride, naphtha, etc., as these will
weaken the webbing. Also, for the same reason, do not
bleach or dye the webbing.
FLASHING WARNING LIGHT
The flashing warning light is shown in Figure 4. Push the
switch on the lamp housing to turn the flasher "ON" or
"OFF." The tractor light switch, Figure 6, must be
"ON" before the flasher will operate.
IMPORTANT: For your protection, use the flashing
safety lamp when traveling on public roads, day and
night, unless prohibited by law.
LIGHT SWITCH
The light switch, Figure 6, is either a push-pull switch
or a rotating switch. Its positions are:
Push-Pull Switch:
•
Full in — OFF.
• Intermediate — Instrument lights, tail lamp, flashing
safety lamp, and accessory lights.
• Full out — Instrument lights, tail lamp, flashing safety
lamp, accessory lights, and headlamps.
