10. Pull only from the swinging draw bar or the lower link drawbar in the down position. Use only a drawbar pin that locks in
place. Pulling from the tractor rear axle carriers or any point above the rear axle may cause the Tractor’s front end to lift.
11. If the front end of the tractor tends to rise when heavy implements are attached to the three-point linkage, install front end or
front wheel weights. Do not operate the tractor with a light front end.
12. Always use hydraulic position control lever when attaching equipment/implement and when transporting equipment. Be
sure that the hydraulic couplers are properly mounted and will disconnect safely in case of accidental detachment of
implement.
13. Do not leave equipment/implement in the raised position.
14. Use the flasher/ Turn signal lights and Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) signs when driving on public roads during both day and
night time, unless prohibited by law.
15. Dim tractor lights when meeting a vehicle at night. Be sure the lights are adjusted to prevent the blinding on the eyes of
coming vehicle operator.
■ Driving the Tractor
1. Watch where you are going especially at row ends, on roads, around trees and low hanging obstacles.
2. To avoid upsets, drive the tractor with care and at speeds compatible with safety, especially when operating over rough
ground, crossing ditches or slopes, and when turning at corners.
3. Lock the tractor brake pedals together when transporting on roads to provide proper wheel braking.
4. Keep the tractor in the same gear when going downhill as used when going uphill. Do not coast or free wheel down hills.
5. Any towed vehicle and/or trailer whose total weight exceeds that of the towing Tractor, must be equipped with its own
brakes for safe operation.
6. When the tractor is stuck or tires are frozen to the ground, back out to prevent upset.
7. Always check overhead clearance, especially when transporting the tractor.
