particular state.
•

operating controls or starting engine. Place transmission in neutral, engage break and ensure all other
controls are disengaged before starting tractor engine.
•
Look down and to the rear and make sure area is clear and safe before operating in reverse.
•

Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on slopes and rough terrain.
•
Stop implement, then tractor, immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, remove key,
inspect and repair any damage before resuming operations. Always block implement when inspecting.
•
Before commencing any adjustment, maintenance, or cleaning. Always switch off the tractor engine, remove
key and wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop, then ensure the machine is on the ground
or on a robust secure support.

qualified dealer.
