hot during operation

com-
ponents
or the exhaust

some
materials.

Towing
the tractor
behind
another
vehicle
or using it to push
another
vehicle
can damage
the tractor.
Transport
the tractor
on a flat, heavy duty trailer.
To avoid fuel spillage,
keep the tractor
level while transporting.
Some
attachments,
such
as a mid-mount
mower,
have
a low
center
clearance.
You may have to adjust
the ramp angle at the bed to avoid
interference.
1. Use a loading
ramp that
is strong
enough
to support
the combined
weight
of the tractor,
its attachments
and the operator.
The loading
ramp must be long enough
so that its slope in 15O or less.
2. Move
the main transmission
selector
to the R, and transmission
range
selector
to the 1st to back the tractor up the ramp.
NOTE:
If you feel that you cannot
accurately
judge angle of the ramps,
we suggest
that you obtain an inclinometer.
This type of gauge is available
at most hardware
stores.
LESS THAN
15"
NOTE:
If the engine
stalls during loading,
immediately
depress
the brake
