WARNING: Rollover risk.
Do not disengage the clutch or attempt to shift gear after you have started downhill.
When driving down a slope, use the engine brake to slow the tractor down. Choose the same gear ratio
as used when climbing a slope.
• Engage four-wheel drive (if fitted) to enable four-wheel braking.
• Do not work near the edge of ditches and
banks, as they may collapse. The tractor must
always be kept a distance from the edge that is
equal to or greater than the height of the bank
or ditch.

Preferably, climb or descend a slope in a straight line, but do not cross it. When this is not possible, adhere
to the following precautions:
• Avoid holes and dips when driving downhill.
• Avoid stumps, stones and raised areas when driving uphill.
• When turning, avoid turning towards the top of the slope. Always slow down and take a wide turn.
• Keep the heavier end of the tractor facing towards the top of the slope when driving up and down it.
When driving across a slope with a tractor fitted with implements on one side, these implements must:
• Always face towards the top of the slope;
• Never be raised; and
• Be left as close as possible to the ground.
When towing a load at transport speed, lock the drawbar in the centre position and use a safety chain.
Do not use the tractor to round up livestock.
Preventing a rear overturn
•
WARNING: Rollover risk.
Hitching a load to the rear axle or on any other part located above the rear axle may
cause a rear overturn.
• Do not pull anything using the top link connection or from any point above the centre line of the rear
axle. Always use aValtra-approved drawbar and only use a lockable drawbar pin.
• When using a drawbar for a three point hitch, use the stabilisers and keep the drawbar in the bottom
position.
• Use front weights to increase tractor stability when towing heavy loads or to counterbalance the weight
of a heavy rear-mounted implement.
• Start o slowly and then gradually increase speed.
• Do not release the clutch suddenly.
• If a heavy load or immovable object is attached to the tractor, incorrect use of the clutch may cause the
tractor to overturn.
• If the front end of the tractor starts to lift, disengage the clutch.
