2. Work with the Tractor

1. Tow an implement only with the drawbar. Avoid
hitching via the axle housing. The tractor can
upset its balance, leading to serious injury or
death. Make sure the drawbar pin is locked in
place.
2. Any towed vehicle with the total weight exceeding
that of the tractor should be equipped with its own
braking system that is operational from the tractor
operator seat.
3. Make sure that all the covers and guards are in
position. Replace any missing or damaged
covers immediately.
4. Before turning or during traveling on a rough
terrain, or before stopping, decrease the tractor
speed in order to prevent upsetting.
5. Use extra caution during operating over rough
ground, when crossing ditches or operating on
slopes and when turning corners.
6. Avoid turning with the differential lock engaged.
Attempting to turn the tractor while the differential
lock is engaged can lead to a roll over.
7. Stay clear of ditches, potholes, embankments or
ponds. The incident of upsetting the tractor can

occur more on soft or wet ground. Before
entering an area covered with tall grass, inspect
the area to detect any obstacles.
8. The operator should always pay attention for
blind corners, trees and other object that can
obstruct the operator's vision. The operator
should always remain alert when approaching the
row of trees or any obstacle.
9. When two or more people are working in one
area, always keep in good communication
between each other.
10. Do not under any circumstances get on or off the
moving tractor.
11. When driving at night, ensure that all necessary
lights are illuminated.
12. When driving, do not shift the range gear. Always
shift the range gear when the tractor is
completely stopped.

3. Stop the Tractor

The procedures of stopping the tractor are as
follows:
1. Make sure that the left side brake pedal and the
right side brake pedal are connected with the
brake pedal connector lock.
2. Reduce the engine speed.
3. Depress the clutch pedal completely to
disengage the clutch.
4. Depress the brake pedals to stop the tractor.
5. Move the primary gear to the N (neutral) position.

4. Considerations for Safety of a Child

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert
to the presence of a child. A child is often attracted to
the tractor. A child does not understand the dangers.
Never assume a child will remain where the operator
last saw the child.
1. Keep a child out of the operating area and under
the watchful care of an adult other than the
operator.
