SECTION 2 - OPERATION

DRIVING THE TRACTOR

WARNING: OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN DRIVING THE TRACTOR:

WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING - ESPECIALLY AT ROW ENDS, ON ROADS, AND AROUND TREES.

USE CAUTION WHEN OPERATING ON SLOPES.

KEEP THE TRACTOR IN GEAR WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. USE A LOW GEAR TO MAINTAIN CONTROL WITH MINIMUM BRAKING.

ALWAYS USE THE DRAWBAR FOR PULL-TYPE WORK. DO NOT PULL FROM ANY OTHER PART OF THE TRACTOR SINCE IT MAY TIP OVER.

DIM THE TRACTOR HEADLIGHTS WHEN MEETING A VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. KEEP THE LIGHTS ADJUSTED SO THEY DO NOT BLIND THE OPERATOR OF AN ONCOMING VEHICLE.

ENGAGE THE CLUTCH PEDAL SLOWLY WHEN DRIVING OUT OF A DITCH, GULLY, OR UP A STEEP HILLSIDE.

REDUCE SPEED BEFORE TURNING OR APPLYING THE BRAKE.

NEVER APPLY THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK WHEN TURNING.

USE EXTREME CAUTION AND AVOID HARD APPLICATIONS OF THE TRACTOR BRAKE WHEN PULLING HEAVY, TOWED LOADS AT ROAD SPEEDS.

TOWED LOADS THAT WEIGH MORE THAN THE WEIGHT OF THE TRACTOR SHOULD HAVE BRAKES FOR SAFE OPERATION. ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL REGULATIONS.

ALWAYS SIT IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT WHILE STARTING OR DRIVING THE TRACTOR.

ALWAYS USE A SLOW-MOVING VEHICLE (SMV) EMBLEM WHEN TRAVELING ON PUBLIC ROADS.
