OPERATING ON A SLOPES AND
ROUGH TERRAIN
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
Always back up when going
up a steep slope. Driving for-
ward could cause the tractor
to tip over backward. Stay off
hills and slopes too steep for
safe operation.
Avoid changing gears when
cl imb ing or d e sc e nd i ng a
slope.
If operating on a slope, never
disengage the clutch or shift
levers to neutral. Doing so
could cause loss of control.
Do not drive the tractor close
to t h e edges of d i t c h e s or
banks which may collapse un-
der the weight of the tractor.
Especially when the ground is
loose or wet.
You should make sure that the warn-
ing lamps and SMV sign are clean
and visible at all times. If you are
towing rear mounted equipment or
implements you will need to install
the warning lamps and SMV sign on
the equipment.
