WARNING
■ Due to the mass of the (mounted) machine it-
self and loaded materials, the tractor machine
combination can influence maneuverability and
stability. A mini mum 20% of tractor and equip-
ment weight must be on the tractor front wheels
when attachments are in transport position.
Without this weight, front tractor wheels could
raise up resulting in loss of steering. Without
this weight, tractor could tip over, causing
personal injury or death. The weight may be at-
tained with front wheel weights, ballast in tires,
front tractor weights or front loader. Weigh the
tractor and equipment. DO NOT ESTIMATE.
