Do not allow the tractor to coast downhill with clutch
disengaged, or with gear in neutral.
When operating the tractor on slopes, set wheel tread
as wide as possible for maximum stability. Reduce
engine speed and avoid hard application of brakes and
sharp turns.
Stay off hills and slopes where are too steep.
AVOID TIPPING
When starting tractor on uphill slopes, shift to as low as
possible and reduce engine speed to avoid overturning
rearward.
Do not drive near the edge of a gully or steep
embankment.
Avoid holes, ditches, etc. which may cause tractor to
tip, especially on hillsides or steep slopes.
When operating on slopes or rough uneven ground, it is
important to have as wide a distance between wheels
as possible. Operate tractor carefully at the lowest
speed.
Do not pull carts etc. from top link or top link hinge, rear
axle, or any point above the drawbar. Doing so could
cause tractor to tip over rearward. For pulling, attach to
the drawbar only.
