•
When operating near ditches and banks, always keep
your tractor behind the shear line (A, Fig.2-22). Avoid
ditches, embankments and river-banks which might
cave in (Fig.2-21).

•
If you need cross a steep slope, do not steer uphill,
but slow down and take a wide turn. Always drive
straight up or down a slope, never across it. When
travelling up or down a slope, keep the heavy end of
the tractor and the implement pointed uphill. (Fig.2-23)
•
When driving across a slope with mounted imple-
ments, keep such implements on the uphill side
(Fig.2-24). Do not raise implements. Keep them as
low and near to the ground as possible.
•
Avoid crossing steep slopes if possible. If you must
do so, avoid any holes or depressions on the downhill
side. Avoid any stumps, rocks, bumps or raised areas
on the uphill side. (Fig.2-25)

DANGER!
A list of cases and advice to avoid side over-
turning of course cannot be a complete one:
it is up to YOU to consider whether the opera-
tion you want use your tractor for involve a
higher overturning risk. In this case the use
of the tractor is forbidden. [4.1.m]
