between the 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive
modes. Be aware of the current drive mode and
use carefully.
3. Release the clutch pedal slowly.
4. Before turning, always slow down the tractor.
High speed turn may cause the tractor to tip over.
5. When traveling on a road, ensure that the Slow
Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem is on the rear of

and turn signal lights as required by the currently
effective local laws or regulations.

a road. It may cause the operator to lose control
of the tractor.

wheel suddenly. Such an action can lead to loss
in the stability of the tractor and can cause an
extremely dangerous situation.
11. While on a road, do not attempt to operate an
implement. During transportation, place the 3-
point hitch control lever in the raised position and
lock the 3-point hitch control lever with the
position stop knob. Do not fully close the
hydraulic flow control/stop knob to hold an
implement in the raised position while the tractor
is traveling with the implements.
The preceding action can cause damage to the
hydraulic lift circuit.
12. When towing implement, connect a safety chain
to the implement and mount a Slow Moving
Vehicle (SMV) emblem on the rear of the tractor.

engage the parking brake securely, for details,
see "6. Lock and Set the Parking Brake" on page
7-4, shut off the engine and remove the key.
2. Before leaving the tractor, ensure that the tractor
is completely stopped.
3. Avoid parking the tractor on a steep slope.
Rather, park on solid and level ground whenever
possible. If parking on a slope is unavoidable,
park the tractor across the slope and lower the
implement to the ground and chock all the tires
safely and securely.
