OPERATION
l
Be sure to fasten
the seat belt whenever
driving
the tractor
with
the
Rollover
Protective
Structure
(ROPS)

Use of either
device
(seat belt or ROPS) without
the other will increase
the chance
of injury
in a rollover.
l
Adjust
the seat belt so that it is snug.
o Be sure that the main Transmission
lever is in "Neutral"
and the front
and rear P.T.O.
levers
are in the "OFF"
position
before
starting
the
engine.

with all of its
operating
characteristics
and controls.

the tractor
or its attachments
without
ensuring

and pets.
l
Sudden
stops of the tractor
while
driving
at high speed or sudden
start-
up with
the steering
wheels
turned
fully
in one direction,
could
cause
the tractor
to overturn.
l
This tractor
utilizes
Four Wheel
Steering
(4WS)
for a tighter
turning
cir-
cle

greater

the feel of 4WS is slightly
different
from other tractors.
Prac-
tice driving
in a wide,
safe area.

operate
the tractor
or its attachments
when
visibility
is diminish-
ed by darkness
or bad
weather;
your
ability
to see obstacles
will
become
impaired.

roots,
holes and other
obstacles
that may cause
the Tractor
to overturn.
l
This tractor
and its attachments
are intended
for use on relatively
flat
terrain.
l

to operate
this tractor
on public
streets,

a tractor
without
a U.S.D.A.
