Safety
lnstnrctions
7.
Slow down tractor over rough ground and in tall
grass and weeds. Rocks, holes, stumps may be
hidden in the brush.
Do not let your tractor bounce. You may lose
steering control.
Never use the tractor to round up farm animals.
8.
When starting tractor on uphill slopes, shift to
as
low a gear as possible 'and reduce engine
speed to prevent rear overturn.
9.
Keep tractor on
a
firm level surface when
parking.
When parking the tractor, couple brake pedals
together and set parking brake securely. When
parking unavoidably on a slope, position it
at
right angles to the slope and set parking brake
securely and block both front and rear wheels.
10.
Do not drive near the edge of a gully or steep
embankment
-
it
might cave in.
11.
Avoid holes, ditches, etc. which may cause the
tractor to tip, especially on hillsides or steep
slopes.
12.
Driving forward out of ditch or mired condi-
tions or up a steep slope could cause tractor to
n
tip over rearward. If the mud is deep enough
it
keeps the wheels from turning. The tractor
will rotate up and backwards around the axle
veryquickly. When caught in mired conditions,
do not remove implement or ballast weightand
alwavs back out.
