Using the tractor
1. Select the most suitable wheel setting for the work in
hand, i.e.: the setting that provides the best stability.
2. Depress the speed control pedal slowly: if engaged
too quickly, especially when the tractor is getting out
of a hole, ditch or operating on muddy ground or
steep slopes, the tractor may overturn.
Release the speed control pedal immediately if front
wheels begin to lift.
3. When traveling downhill, keep the tractor in gear.
Never place shuttle shift lever in the neutral position.
4. When the tractor is moving, the operator must remain
correctly seated in the driving position.
5. Never get on or off the tractor while in movement.
6. When using the brakes, press the pedal down slowly.
7. Avoid taking turns at high speeds.
8. Always use the tractor at a speed that will guarantee
safe operation on the type of land being worked.
When working on uneven ground, use maximum
care to ensure proper stability.

for example on hillsides, drive at moderate speed
especially when taking turns.
10. Proceed with maximum caution when working with
the wheels near the edge of ditches or slopes.
11. When driving on public highways, observe the High-
way Code.
General maintenance safety
Keep area used for servicing the tractor clean and dry.
Clean up spilled fluids.
Service tractor on a firm level surface.
Install guards and shields after servicing the tractor.
Close all access doors and install all panels after servicing
the tractor.
Do not attempt to clean, lubricate, clear obstructions or
make adjustments to the tractor while it is in motion or
while the engine is running.
Always make sure working area is clear of tools, parts,
other persons and pets before you start operating the
tractor.
Unsupported hydraulic cylinders can lose pressure and
drop the equipment causing a crushing hazard. Do not
leave equipment in a raised position while parked or dur-
ing service, unless securely supported.
Jack or lift the tractor only at jack or lift points indicated in
this manual.
Incorrect towing procedures can cause accidents. When
towing a disabled tractor follow the procedure in this man-
ual. Use only rigid tow bars.
Stop the engine, remove key and relieve pressure before
disconnecting or connecting fluid lines.
Stop the engine and remove key before disconnecting or
connecting electrical connections.
Scalding can result from incorrect removal of coolant
caps.
Cooling system operates under pressure. Hot
coolant can spray out if a cap is removed while the
system is hot. Allow system to cool before removing cap.
When removing a cap turn it slowly to allow pressure to
escape before completely removing the cap.
