Make sure that the implement is properly adjusted
and in good working condition.
The tractor must be equipped with ROPS cabin and
seat belt. Keep the safety belt properly secured.
Tractor rollover can result in death from being run
over or crushed. Keep folding ROPS systems in
"locked" position at all times.
Make sure all safety decals are installed, replace
any damaged or unreadable.
To transport the equipment be sure to have at least
20% of the total weight of the tractor and equipment
in the front shaft of the tractor wheels. Without this
weight, the tractor may roll over causing personal
injury or death. The weight can be obtained with a
front loader, front wheel counterweights, ballast
tires, tractor or front counterweights. Weigh the
tractor and equipment, do not estimate it.
Make sure the circuit lever control valve does not hit
the tractor cab, etc. throughout the operating range
of the tractor hitch box. Fold the lever, if necessary,
to clear the cockpit, but should still be convenient to
operate from the tractor seat.
