1.2.7.3 General information
When parking, park the machine on a solid level
surface and lower any implements to the ground.
Put all controls in neutral and apply the park brake.
Stop the engine and take the key with you.
WARNING:
Do not leave the machine unattended
with any implement or attachment in
the raised position. Lower the
implement or attachment fully before
leaving the machine. A sudden loss of
hydraulic pressure can cause the
implement or attachment to drop
without warning.
Make sure the machine is in the proper operating
condition according to the Operator Manual.
Do not dismount from moving machinery.
Stay off slopes too steep for operation.
Be aware of the size of the machine and have
enough space available to allow for operation.

Do not operate near the edge of banks. Setback
distance from the bank must equal or exceed, the
overall height of the bank.
Whenever possible, travel directly up or down
slopes, keeping the heavy end of the tractor on
the uphill side. If necessary to cross a steep slope,
avoid turning uphill. Slow down and make a wide
turn.
Do not operate on steep slopes as overturn may
result.

On models with independent brake pedals, keep
the brake pedals latched together at all times
unless independent braking is required. Never use
independent braking during transport.
Always drive at a proper speed relative to local
conditions and ensure your speed is low enough
for an emergency stop.
Reduce speed prior to turns to avoid the risk of
overturning.
Keep speed to a minimum.
