8. OPERATING THE TRACTOR
ALWAYS use the drawbar to tow an implement. 
NEVER attach a load to the axle housing. 
ALWAYS decrease tractor speed before turning, 
when traveling on a rough terrain or before stopping 
to prevent roll-over.
Do not attempt to turn with the differential lock 
engaged. Attempting to turn the tractor while the 
differential lock is engaged can lead to a roll-over.
ALWAYS stay clear of ditches, holes, embankments 
or ponds. A roll-over can occur more easily if the 
ground is soft or wet. Before entering an area 
covered with tall grass, walk the area to detect any 
obstacles.
ALWAYS be extremely sure of the current travel 
direction and avoid obstacles. Remain alert when 
approaching the end of a row, trees or any obstacle.
ALWAYS maintain good communication with all 
others working in the same area before and during 
operation of the tractor.
Do not get in or out of the moving tractor.
Accident Hazard
ALWAYS remain alert to behaviors of children when 
operating the tractor because they are usually very 
curious about moving machines.
ALWAYS remember that a child may have moved 
from a point where he/she was last viewed.
ALWAYS keep children off the work area, and a 
person other than the operator should always watch 
them.
If any child enters the current work area, stop your 
tractor immediately.
NEVER allow a child to ride the moving tractor. He/
she may tamper the controls or can fall off the tractor 
and be run over by the tractor.
NEVER allow children to operate the tractor.
NEVER allow a child to play on the tractor or 
implement.
ALWAYS be extremely careful when backing the 
tractor up. Before backing up, look back and below 
the tractor. A child may be on your path.
