WARNING
Before you begin operating the tractor with the dozer
blade attachment, make certain you have:
• Read and understood the instructions in the tractor
Operator’s Manual.
• Become thoroughly familiar with all of the tractor
controls and their operation, including how to safely
and properly start and stop the unit.
• Practice driving in an open area—without dozing—to
become accustomed to the unit.

the combined use of these controls and additional controls
