TOWING
When towing a load that weighs more than the tractor,
the trailer should have its own brakes. When towing,
drive slowly, avoid hills and apply the brakes gently.
A safety chain will help control an implement being
pulled if it accidentally separates from the drawbar
while traveling. Using appropriate adapter parts, attach
the chain to the tractor drawbar support or to some
other specified anchor location. Leave only enough
slack in the chain to permit turning.
Do not tow the tractor faster than the tractor’s
maximum travel speed in the highest gear, and never
more than 25 km/h (16 mph).
Check local regulations concerning towing. Towing is
illegal in some countries.
AFTER THE DAY’S OPERATION
PARK THE TRACTOR SAFELY
Park tractor on a firm level surface.
When parking the tractor, couple the brake pedals
together and set the parking brake securely. When you
must park on a slope, position the tractor at a right
angle to the slope and set the parking brake securely.
Then, block both the front and rear wheels.
Take all possible precautions as follows when leaving
tractor unattended:
(1) Disengage the PTO and lower any implement to
the ground.
(2) Move all shift levers to neutral.
(3) Couple the brake pedals together and set the
parking brake lever.
(4) Run the engine for 2 to 3 minutes at one-third
throttle speed and no load in order to cool it.
(5) Stop the engine and remove the key.
(6) Cycle the hydraulic controls to eliminate any
residual pressure.
