3. Remove/Install the Wheels
Avoid injury!
● Wheels are heavy or difficult to handle during
removal.
● Be very careful when attempting to remove
wheels from the tractor.
● Use a safe lifting device with a capacity of
more than 3 tons.
● Securely support the tractor with rigid stands
or jack stands with a capacity of more than 3
tons.
● Make sure to chock all the tires safely and
securely which are still in contact with the
ground.
● The preceding procedure prevents the tractor
from rolling.
4. Weights (Option)
IMPORTANT
● Find and read the maximum load information
embossed into the sidewall of each tire.
● Make sure that tires are not subjected to loads
that exceed the information.
● If the maximum weight shown on the chart is not
enough to ensure safety, reduce the load or use
higher tire ply rating.
● Remove the weights from the tractor when no
longer needed.
● Always avoid adding weight when performing
continuous and full power operations at a speed
of above 4.4 mph (7 km/h).
● The preceding practice:
• prevents excessive soil compaction
• prevents resistance to wheel rotation
• extends the drive train life
Avoid injury!
● If there is a danger that the tractor becomes
unstable when implement is used, add weight
on the tractor.
● The preceding precaution is particularly
necessary when an implement is raised.
● Always drive slowly over rough terrain,
regardless of how much weight is used.
● Implement and tractor components are
heavy.
● Always use proper lifting devices with a
capacity of more than 3 tons.
● Always have assistance from another person
when installing or removing any implement.
● Exercise the preceding caution while
installing or removing components of the
tractor.
