OPERATIONAL SAFETY continued...
 Pass rotary mower diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to pre-
vent “hanging up” tractor and rotary mower. Practice will improve your skills in
maneuvering on rough terrain. Always cut down slopes, never across the face.
Always check tractor manual for proper use on slopes.

When using a unit, a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on
tractor front wheels. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal
injury or death. The weight may be attained with a front- end loader, front wheel
weights, ballast in the tires or front tractor weights. When attaining a minimum
20% of tractor and equipment weight on the front wheels, you must not exceed
the ROPS weight certification. Weigh the tractor and equipment.
Do not guess
or estimate!
TRANSPORT SAFETY
 Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of
farm machinery on public roads.
 The use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some
localities prohibit their use. Local laws should be checked for all lighting and
marking requirements.

At all times, when driving the tractor and equipment on the road or highway un-
der 20 mph (32 kph) use flashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehi-
cle (SMV) identification emblem. Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Reduce
speed on rough roads and surfaces.
 Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.
 Always install transport locks, pins or brackets before transporting.
 Do not drink and drive.

Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations,
including narrow bridges, intersections, etc. Watch for traffic when operating
near or crossing roadways.
 Turn curves or go up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual steering
angle. Make certain that a least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front
wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow down on rough or uneven surface. Al-
ways check tractor manual for proper use on slopes.

Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground and when operating close to
ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners.
 Never allow riders on either tractor or mower.
