Use Extra Care:
Stay alert for holes, hidden objects, and uneven terrain or drop-offs.
Use extra care when you come to shrubs, trees, or other objects that may impair your
vision.
Clear objects from work area that might be thrown or interfere with safe operation of
machine and attachment.
Stop machine and inspect if you hit an object.
Avoid adverse conditions which limit performance and stability of equipment and could
result in injury or death.
Stay away from drop-offs.
DO NOT drive where machine could slide or upset.
Wet grass increases risk of sliding on banks and slopes.
DO NOT try to stabilize the tractor by putting your foot on the ground.
When pulling loads or using heavy equipment, use only the hitch points provided. Limit
loads to those you can safely control.
Slopes:
Roll cage with seat belt is recommended for driving on slopes.
Be careful when you change direction on a slope. Drive slowly.
Make allowances in speed selection for hills, slopes, and rough terrain. If the
operator is uncomfortable or there is uncertainty of the machine’s stability, the operator
should slow down or cease operation.
When parking, stop the machine on a level surface whenever possible; block tractor
tires if it must be parked in a location which is not level. ALWAYS use park brake.
Be sure to have plenty of fuel in tank to avoid unplanned stoppage.
NEVER TURN ENGINE OFF ON A HILL OR SLOPE WITHOUT FIRST
MAKING SURE THE PARKING BRAKE WILL HOLD THE TRACTOR IN
PLACE. Before leaving the seat, always set the control selector in “park brake”
position.
