PRECAUTIONS FOR CONNECTING THE IMPLEMENT
When the PTO shaft is not in use, affix the
safety cover on it.
WARNING
• When engaging or disengaging the implement by
moving the tractor, make sure that no one is allowed
around the tractor or between the implement and the
tractor.
• Engage or disengage the implement on a flat and
safe place. Supply proper lighting at all times and
especially at night.
• When engaging a heavy implement, load the weight
on the front to keep the balance of the tractor.
• When adjusting the implement, apply the parking
brake, switch off the engine, and confirm that the
PTO lever is on the “N” position.
• When towing something, make sure to use the draw -
bar.
• Increase the wheel tread on a slope or when towing.
• Depending on the implement, the overall length may
become very long. Pay particular attention to people
or objects nearby when making a turn.
• Do not substitute the balance weight with a person
or anything else. Always use the recommended bal -
ance weight.
• For front loader work, mount an implement on the
rear to keep the balance of the tractor.
• Read the instruction manual of the implement
mounted to the tractor.
