Never try to unclog a nozzle by blowing through it. Always carry extra spray tips.
Never operate tractor and implement under trees with low hanging limbs: the op-
erator can be knocked off the tractor and run-over.
Stay alert for holes, rocks and roots in the terrain and other hidden hazards. Keep
away from drop-offs.
Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on hill-
side, over rough ground and when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful
when turning sharp corners.
Reduce speed on slopes and sharp turns to minimize tipping or loss of control.
Be careful when changing directions on slopes. Do not start or stop suddenly on
slopes. Avoid operation on steep slopes.
When using an implement, 20% of the combined tractor and implement weight (at
a minimum!) must be on the tractor’s front wheels. Without this weight, the tractor
could tip over, causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with
a front end loader, front wheel weights, ballast in the tires or front tractor weights.
When attaining this minimum 20% front wheel weight, you must not exceed the
ROPS weight rating. Weigh the tractor and the implement. Do not guess or esti-
mate!
Be careful when operating the tractor and implement on uneven ground to avoid
upsetting.
In extremely uneven terrain, front wheel weights, front tractor weights, and/or tire
ballast should be used to improve stability.
Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent
hanging up
the
tractor and implement. Practice improves skills in maneuvering rough terrain.
Avoid sudden starts and stops while travelling up or downhill.
Always travel down slopes, never across the face. Avoid operation on steep slopes.
Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping and/or loss of control.
