SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
9. Do not leave equipment in the
raised position when the vehicle is
stopped or unattended.
10. When using implements or attach-
ments with your tractor you should
first read their respective owner's
manual. Always keep safe opera-
tion procedures in mind.
11. Be familiar with your equipment and
its limitations.
12. If used incorrectly your tractor
could be dangerous to you and
bystanders. Overloading your trac-
tor or using unsafe equipment can
also be dangerous and should be
avoided. Refer to the "specifica-
tions of implement limitation",
which outlines the maximum load
for safe tractor operation.
15. When working in groups, always let
the others know what you are go-
ing to do before you do it.
16. Never "freewheel". Disengaging the
clutch or shifting into neutral while
descending a slope as this could
lead to a loss of control.
17. Do not operate near ditches, holes,
embankments, or other terrain fea-
tures which could collapse under
the tractor's weight.
13. Driving forward out of a ditch or
steep inclines can cause the trac-
tor 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 se-
curity in the tractors ability to ma-
neuver out of these positions, so
extra caution should be taken.
14. Never try to mount or dismount a
moving tractor.
