7. DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT
Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the
tractor and unit. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering control.
The tractor should never be operated at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will prevent the
operator from stopping quickly during an emergency. If the power steering or engine ceases operating, stop the
tractor immediately as the tractor will be difficult to control.
Perform turns with the tractor and units at slow speeds to determine how the tractor with an attached blade or
rake handles a turn. Determine the safe speed to maintain proper control of the tractor when making turns.
When turning with a towed implement, the overall working length of the unit is increased. Allow additional
clearance for the units when turning.
To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care and at safe speeds, especially when operating over rough
ground, crossing ditches or slopes, and turning corners. Tractor wheel tread spacing should be increased
when working on inclines or rough ground to reduce the possibility of tipping.
Use extreme caution when operating on steep slopes. Keep the tractor in a low gear when going downhill. DO
NOT coast or free-wheel downhill.
OPS-U- 0014
This Implement may be wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting
this equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails,
concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and
Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death.
Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles.
(S3PT-12)
7.1 Starting the Tractor
The procedure to start the tractor is model specific.
Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for starting
procedures for your particular tractor. Consult an
authorized dealer if the starting procedure is
unclear. Ensure the 3-point control lever is in the
lowered position and the PTO is disengaged before
starting the tractor.
