SAFE OPERATION
5. Never allow children to operate the machine even
under adult supervision.
6. Never allow children to play on the machine or on the
implement.
7. Use extra caution when backing up. Look behind and
down to make sure area is clear before moving.

Operating on slopes
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-
over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.
All slopes require extra caution.
1. To avoid upsets, always back up steep slopes. If you
cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do
not operate on it. Stay off slopes too steep for safe
operation.
2. Driving forward out of a ditch, mired condition or up a
steep slope increases the risk of a tractor to be upset
backward. Always back out of these situations. Extra
caution is required with four-wheel drive models
because their increased traction can give the operator
false confidence in the tractor's ability to climb slopes.
3. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed, direction or apply
brake and make sudden motions of the steering
wheel.
4. Avoid changing gears speed when climbing or going
down a slope. If on a slope changing gears to neutral
could cause loss of control.
5. Special attention should be made to the weight and
location of implements and loads as such will affect the
stability of the tractor.
6. To improve stability on slope, follow recommendations
for proper ballasting as shown in "BALLAST" section.

Driving the tractor on the road
1. Check the front wheel engagement. The braking
characteristics are different between two and four
wheel drive. Be aware of the difference and use
carefully.
2. Always slow the tractor down before turning. Turning
at high speed may tip the tractor over.
3. Make sure that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign is
clean and visible. Use hazard lights and turn signals as
required.
4. On public roads use the SMV emblem and hazard
lights, if required by local traffic and safety regulations.
5. Observe all local traffic and safety regulations.
6. Turn the headlights on.
7. Drive at speeds that allow you to maintain control at all
times.
8. Do not apply the differential lock while traveling at road
speeds. The tractor may run out of control.
9. Avoid sudden motions of the steering wheel as they
can lead to a dangerous loss of stability. The risk is
especially great when the tractor is traveling at road
speeds.
10. Keep the ROPS in the "UP" position and wear the seat
belt when driving the tractor on the road.
Otherwise, you will not be protected in the event of a
tractor roll-over.
11. Do not operate an implement while the tractor is on the
road. Lock the 3-point hitch in the raised position.
12. When towing other equipment, use a safety chain and
place an SMV emblem on it as well.
