Be extremely cautious when driving the tractor
on a slope and rough terrain. Observe the
following precautions.
● Before driving the tractor on a slope or a
rough terrain, engage the 4-wheel drive for
the following purposes:
• to increase traction
• to greatly assists in climbing steep slopes
• to improve braking power on sloped, frozen,
wet or graveled surfaces
• always be aware that the danger of tipping
over is still present
● Add weight to the tractor as necessary.
● Drive at a lower speed to prevent skidding
and loss of steering control.
● Keep away from slopes steeper than 15
degrees.
● Avoid parking the tractor perpendicular to the
slope.
● Avoid turning or changing travel directions
on a slope.
● Before approaching a slope, select an
appropriate speed setting.
● Make sure to travel at a lower speed when on
a slope.
● Avoid shifting the range gear lever while
traveling on a slope. The preceding action
can make the tractor uncontrollable and
suddenly roll down the hill.
● Do not move the following in N (neutral)
position when on the slope:
• primary gear lever
• range gear lever
• forward/N/reverse lever
● Do not under any circumstances step on the
clutch pedal when on a slope.
• the preceding action can make the tractor
uncontrollable and suddenly roll down the
hill
● Sudden operating the tractor on an uphill
slope can cause the front wheels to lift off the
ground and result in an extremely dangerous
situation.
● To prevent the preceding danger:
• run the engine at a lower speed
• slowly start the tractor
