USING IMPLEMENTS AND AGRICULTURAL
MACHINERY
1. Do not connect implements or machinery that
require more power than can be generated by
your tractor model.
2. Never negotiate sharp turns with the power
take-off under a heavy load; this may damage the
universal joints on the transmission shaft
connected to the power take-off.
3. Never stand between the reversing tractor and
the implement when hitching.
4. When using implements that require the tractor
to be stationary with the engine running, keep the
shuttle lever in the neutral position, apply the
hand brake and use suitable wheel chocks.
5. Do not operate machines connected to the power
take-off without first ensuring that the operating
range of the machine is free of bystanders.
Also check that all rotating parts connected to the
power take-off shaft are correctly protected.
6. Add some type of rear ballast when using lifting
equipment fitted to the front of the tractor. Rear
ballast, such as, rear wheel weights, fluid in rear
tires or 3pt weight box.

STOPPING THE TRACTOR
1. When the tractor is stationary, never leave
connected implements in the raised position. All
implements must be lowered before stopping the
engine.
2. Before leaving the driving position, move the
transmission shuttle shift lever to the neutral
position, disengage the power take-off, apply the
hand brake and stop the engine.
Always remove the ignition key from the
dashboard when leaving the tractor unattended.
3. Park on flat surfaces, where possible, put the
tractor into gear and apply the hand brake. As an
additional safety measure, use wheel chocks
(available as an optional); this procedure is
compulsory when parking with a trailer hitched.
