automatically, unless you are in “1” or ”R”.
NOTICE! Do not shift from a forward gear (D, 2, or 1) to reverse (R) or from
reverse to a forward gear unless the tractor is at a complete stop. Failure to do this
will damage the transmission and void the warranty.

applying foot brake. The transmission will downshift automatically.
5. When driving or towing, avoid the tendency to oversteer and turn too sharply.
Allow enough clearance for the towed load.
Secure all hitch pins and pintle hitches with a safety retainer pin to
prevent accidental unhooking, which can result in a run away load.
Limit travel speed. Ground conditions, congestion, slope, location
of personnel and other factors increase risk of collision or injury to personnel
Always approach turns slowly and carefully. When approaching
blind corners or steering around obstructions, reduce speed and proceed
cautiously.
Be extremely alert during hazardous operating conditions.
Operating conditions can change as work progresses and as weather changes.
