PROTECTION CHILDREN
Keep children and others away from the Tractor while operating.
BEFORE YOU REVERSE
- Look behind Tractor for children.
- Do not let children to ride on Tractor or any implement.
USE OF ROPS AND SEAT BELT
The Roll Over Protective Structure(ROPS) has been certified to industry and/or government
standards. Any damage or alternation to the ROPS, mounting hard-ware, or seat belt voids the
certification and will reduce or eliminate protection for the operator in the event of a roll-over. The
ROPS, mounting hardware, and seat belt should be checked after the first 100 hours of Tractor and
every 500 hours thereafter for any evidence of damage, wear or cracks. In the event of damage or
alteration, the ROPS must be replaced prior to further operation of the Tractor.
The seat belt must be worn during machine operation when the machine is equipped with a certified
ROPS.
Failure to do so will reduce or eliminate protection for the operator in the event of a roll over.
PRECAUTION TO AVOID TIPPING
Do not drive where the Tractor could slip or tip.
Stay alert for holes and rocks in the terrain, and other hidden hazards.
Slow down before you make a sharp turn.
Driving forward out of a ditch or mired condition could cause Tractor to tip over backward. Back out of
these situations if possible
