SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1-7
11.Driving forward out of a ditch or steep
inclines can cause the tractor to tip
over backwards. To avoid this you
should back out of these positions.
Four wheel drive tractors can give
you a false sense of security in the
tractors ability to maneuver out of
these positions, so extra caution
should be taken.
12.You should watch for and avoid ob-
stacles at row ends, near trees, and
around other obstructions.

14. Never try to get on or off a moving
tractor.
15. When working in groups, always let
the others know what you are going
to do before you do it.
16. Never “freewheel”. Disengaging the
clutch or shifting into neutral while
descending a slope could lead to a
loss of control.
17. Do not operate near ditches, holes,
embankments, or other terrain fea-
tures which may collapse under the
tractor’s weight. The risk of tractor
upset is even higher when the ground
is loose or wet.
196O114A
13.If abused or used incorrectly your
tractor can become dangerous to you
and bystanders. Overloading your
tractor or using unsafe equipment can
also be dangerous and should be
avoided. Refer to the “Specifications
of Implement Limitation”, which out-
lines the maximum load for safe trac-
tor operation.
