WARNING: High pressure hydraulic oil leaks can penetrate skin resulting in
injury, gangrene or death. Be sure to relieve any hydraulic oil pressure before
disconnecting any lines or pipes between implement and tractor hydraulic
system. Check for oil leaks using a cardboard, never use hands.
3.11 - Uneven Terrain
DANGER: Be careful of rollover when operating tractor and implement over
uneven ground.
The following precautions should always be observed when working on uneven terrain:
1. In extremely uneven terrain rear wheel weights, front tractor weights, and/or tire
ballast should be used to improve stability.
2. Observe the type of terrain and develop a safe working pattern.
3. Operate the implement up and down steep slopes, not across slopes, to prevent the
tractor from tipping. Avoid sudden stops and starts, and slow down before changing
directions on a slope.
4. Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent hanging up the
tractor and implement.
5. Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping or loss of control.
6. Watch for holes, roots or other hidden objects. Do not use near the edge of a gully,
ditch or stream bank.
