Always shut off the engine, shift the transmission
to neutral, set park brake and remove the start key
before leaving the operator's seat or before
permitting anyone to inspect, clean, lubricate,
adjust or repair any part of the tractor or
attachments. Never leave the tractor unattended
while the engine is operating.

Pull only from the approved drawbar.
Towing or attaching to other locations may cause
the tractor to overturn.
Use a safety transport chain with towed
implements. A safety transport chain connecting
the tractor to the implement will help control pull-
type equipment should it accidentally separate
from the drawbar.
Always attach the safety transport chain to the
tractor drawbar support.
Provide only enough slack in the safety transport
chain to permit turning. See your dealer for a chain
with strength rating equal to or greater than the
gross weight of the towed machine.
For towed equipment without brakes, Do not tow
equipment at speeds over 32 km/h (20 mph). Do
not tow equipment that, when fully loaded, weighs
more 1.5 times the weight of the towing unit.
For towed equipment with brakes, Do not tow
equipment at speeds over 40 km/h (25 mph). Do
not tow equipment that, when fully loaded, weighs
more than 4.5 times the weight of the towing unit.
Stopping distance increases with speed and
weight of towed loads, and on hills and slopes.
Towed loads with or without brakes, that are too
heavy for the tractor or are towed too fast, can
cause loss of control. Consider the total weight of
the equipment and load.
