IMPORTANT:

●The trailer must have signs and lights required by law.

5. Operating on Slopes

WARNING

Avoid injury. Be extremely cautious when driving the tractor on a slope:

●To increase the traction power and provide 4-wheel braking feature, engage the 4-wheel drive lever before driving the tractor on a slope. Remember that although the 4-wheel drive lever greatly assists in approach to a steep slope, there is greater possibility of a tip over.

●To improve braking power on sloped, frozen, wet or graveled surfaces, engage the 4-wheel drive lever. Add ballast to the tractor as necessary and travel at a lower speed to prevent skidding and loss of steering control.

●While driving the tractor, do not attempt to climb a

slope that is steeper than 15 degrees.

●Even on a slope that is not steeper than 15 degrees, do not turn or change the traveling direction, or park square to the slope.
