NORMAL BRAKING AND PARKING
Let the engine come back to idle and at the same time push in the
clutch and brake simultaneously.
When the tractor has come to a halt, lower any implement to the
ground, and put the main gear in neutral.
Apply the parking brake, stop the engine, and remove the key.
Always apply the parking brake when parking.
Failure to do so can cause accidents and damage.
As an extra precaution, chock the rear wheels when parking on a slope.

UPHILL STARTS ON A STEEP SLOPE
With the pedals connected together push down on the brake Pedals and push down the clutch.
Set all gear levers to low and the throttle to medium engine speed.
Release the clutch and as it engages release the brake pedals.
Adjust the throttle to the required speed.
When operating in hilly terrain, the risk of rollover increases substantially.
Please drive with extra care.
When towing trailers in hilly terrain, ensure that they are equipped with brakes.
Use a lower gear to get maximum engine braking and do not change gears on a down
hill run.

DRIVING DOWNHILL

Never rely on the brakes only and never travel downhill with the gears in neutral.
