10.Do not operate an implement while the tractor is on the
road. Lock the 3-point hitch in the raised position.
11.For trailing PTO-driven implements, set the hitch
devices to the towing position.
12.Attach pulled or towed loads to the hitch devices only.
1. Disengage the PTO, lower all implements to the
ground, place all control levers in their neutral
positions, set the parking brake, stop the engine,
remove the key from the ignition and lock the cab door
(if equipped). Leaving transmission in gear with the
engine stopped will not prevent tractor from rolling.
2. Make sure that the tractor has come to a complete
stop before dismounting.
3. Avoid parking on steep slopes, if at all possible park on
a firm and level surface; if not, park across a slope with
chock the wheels.
Failure to comply with this warning may allow the
tractor to move and could cause injury or death.
4. When parking your machine if at all possible park on a
firm, flat and level surface; if not, park across a slope.
Set the parking brake(s), lower the implements to the
ground, remove the key from the ignition and lock the
cab door (if equipped) and chock the wheels.
1. Wait until all moving components have completely
stopped before getting off the tractor, connecting,
disconnecting, adjusting, cleaning, or servicing any
PTO driven equipment.
2. Keep the PTO shaft cover in place at all times.
Replace the PTO shaft cap when the shaft is not in
use.
3. Before installing or using PTO driven equipment, read
the manufacturer's manual and review the safety
labels attached to the equipment.
To prevent PTO driven equipment from improper or
unsafe use, select the lower speed (540rpm) unless
the higher one is specifically recommended as safe by
the equipment manufacture.
4. When operating stationary PTO driven equipment,
always apply the tractor parking brake and place
chocks behind and in front of the rear wheels. Stay
clear of all rotating parts. Never step over rotating
parts.
1. Use the 3-point hitch only with equipment designed for
3-point hitch usage.
2. When using a 3-point hitch mounted implement, be
sure to install the proper counterbalance weight on the
front of the tractor.
3. When transporting on the road, set the implement
lowering speed knob in the "LOCK" position to hold the
implement in the raised position.
Before servicing the tractor, park it on a firm, flat and level
surface, set the parking brake, lower all implements to the
ground, place the gear shift lever in neutral, stop the
engine and remove the key.
1. Allow the tractor time to cool off before working on or
near the engine, muffler, radiator, etc.
