Parking
To avoid personal injury or death:
BEFORE DISMOUNTING TRACTOR

lower all implements, place all control levers in their
neutral positions, pull the parking brake lever up to
park, stop the engine and remove the key.

the wheels to prevent accidental rolling of the
machine.

avoided, cover the muffler pipe to prevent water
entering.
OPERATING TECHNIQUES

Differential Lock
To avoid personal injury or death due to loss of
steering control:

Do not operate the tractor at high speed with
any differential lock engaged.
A
Do not attempt to turn with the rear wheel or 4-
wheel differential lock engaged.

Be sure to release the rear wheel or 4-wheel
differential locks before making a turn in field
conditions.

conditions, step on the front wheel differential lock
pedal only. The front wheels alone will rotate together
for easy turning.
