With mechanical front wheel drive engaged，the
Tractor can climb steeper slopes but it does not become
More stable．When this option is used，extra caution
is needed on slopes．Compared to a 2-wheeI drive，
a front. Wheel drive tractor maintains traction on steeper
slopes，increasing the possibility of a tip over．
Danger of overturn increases greatly with narrow tread
setting，at high speed．
Hitch towed loads only to drawbar. When using a chain,
take up the slack slowly．
★Protect Against Noise
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment
or loss of hearing．
Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as
earmuffs or earplugs to protect against objectionable or
uncomfortable loud noises．
★Shift to Low Gear on Hills
Shift to a low gear before descending a steep hill to improve
your control of the tractor with little or no braking．Use engine
braking to reduce speed before applying tractor brakes．
Run-away tractors often tip over. Never coast downhill．
When driving on icy，wet or graveled surfaces，reduce
speed and be sure tractor is properly ballasted to avoid
skidding and loss of steering control．For best control，
engage mechanical front wheel drive (if equipped)．
Additional ballast may be needed for transporting heavy
hitch mounted implements．When implement is raised，
drive slowly over rough ground，regardless of how much
ballast is used．
★Keep Riders Off Machine
Only allow the operator on the machine．Keep riders off．
Riders on machine are subject to injury such as being
struck by foreign objects and being thrown off of the
machine．Riders also obstruct the operator’s view
resulting in the machine being operated in an unsafe
manner．
