When you go over obstacles, always follow
proper procedures as described in the
Owner’s Manual.
Sliding and skidding
● Care should be used when riding on loose or slippery surfaces because the
TRACTOR may lose traction and slide.
● If unexpected and uncorrected, sliding could lead to an accident.
● To reduce the tendency for the front wheels to slide on loose or slippery conditions,
positioning your weight over the front wheels will sometimes help.
●
If the rear wheels of your TRACTOR start to slide sideways, control can usually be regained (if
there is room to do so) by steering in the direction of the slide. Applying the brakes or
accelerating is not recommended until you have corrected the slide.
● With practice, over a period of time, skill at
controlled sliding can be developed. The terrain should be chosen carefully before
attempting such maneuvers, since both stability and control are reduced.
● Bear in mind that sliding maneuvers should always be avoided on extremely slippery
surfaces such as ice, since all control may be lost.
Skidding or sliding improperly. You may lose
control of this TRACTOR You may also
regain traction unexpectedly, which may
cause the TRACTOR to overturn.
Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by
practicing at low speeds and on level,
smooth terrain.
