DRIVING THE TRACTOR
WARNING
： ： ： ：
Observe the following
precautions when driving the tractor.
Watch where you are going
－
especially at row
ends, on roads, and around trees.
Keep the tractor in gear when going down hill.
Use a low gear to maintain control with mini-
mum braking.
If the tractor is stuck, back out to prevent
upsetting the unit.
Always use the drawbar for pull-type work.
Do not pull from any other part of the tractor,
especially ROPS since it may tip backward.
Keep the lights adjusted so they do not blind
the operator of an oncoming vehicle.
Engage the clutch slowly when driving out of a
ditch, gully, or up a steep hillside. Disengage
the clutch promptly should the front wheels
rise off the ground.
Reduce speed before turning quickly or ap-
plying brakes. Lock the brake pedals together
when traveling at high speeds. Brake both
wheels simultaneously when making an emer-
gency stop.
Never apply the differential lock when turning.
Use extreme caution and avoid hard applica-
tions of the tractor brakes when pulling heavy
towed loads at road speeds.
Always sit in the driver’s seat while starting or
driving the tractor.
Any towed vehicle whose total weight exceeds
that of the towing tractor must be equipped
with brakes for safe operation.
Always check overhead clearance, especially
when transporting the tractor.
IMPORTANT
： ： ： ：
When transporting on the highway, it
is recommended that a safety chain with tensile
strength equal to the gross weight of the implement
be connected between the tractor and the towed
implement. This will control the implement in the
event the hitch pin is lost.
NOTE

：
Attaching hardware will need to be procured
locally. Check implement assembly or operators
manual for attaching hardware specifications, such
as bolt size and grade, chain strength, washers,
lock-washer, nuts, etc.
After attaching the safety chain, make a trial run by
driving the tractor to the right and to the left for a
short distance to check the safety chain adjust-
ment.
If necessary, readjust to eliminate tight or loose
chain. Safety chains and suitable hardware are
available from your SHIBAURA Tractor Dealer
