A rollover can occur when working on hills, banks or
slopes or when crossing ditches, ridges or other
unexpected obstacles.
When possible, operate tractor up and down slopes.
Always avoid driving across slopes.
Keep tractor under control and do not overload beyond
capacity.
Make sure towing devices are adequate for application.
Connect trailing equipment only to drawbar or hitch.
Never straddle or allow any personnel to straddle a wire
cable.
When maneuvering to connect equipment, ensure no
personnel are between tractor and trailing equipment.
