1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

6. Traveling on a Road

1.Disengagement of the 4-wheel drive is recommended.

2.Remember that the braking characteristics differ between the two and four wheel drive modes. Be aware of the current drive mode and use carefully.

3.Before turning, always slow down the tractor. High-speed turn may cause the tractor to tip over.

4.When traveling on a road, be sure that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem is on the tractor and is clearly visible. Use the hazard lights and turn lights as required by the currently effective local laws or regulations.

5.Strictly observe all the currently effective local traffic and safety laws and regulations.

6.Turn ON the headlights as required by the currently effective local laws or regulations.

7.Always travel at a speed that allows you to maintain control of the tractor.

8.Avoid engaging differential lock while traveling on a road. It may cause the operator to lose control of the tractor.

9.While traveling on a road, do not suddenly turn the steering wheel. Such an action can lead to loss in the stability of the tractor, and can cause an extremely dangerous situation.

10.While on a road, do not attempt to operate an implement. During transportation, put the 3-point hitch control / cutting height adjustment lever in its raised position and lock it with the position stop knob. Do not fully close the hydraulic flow control / stop knob.

7. Safe Practices for Parking Your Tractor

1.Disengage the Power Take Off (PTO), lower the implement to the ground, set the forward and reverse drive pedal in the neutral positions, engage the parking brake securely, stop the engine and remove the key from the starter key switch.

2.Before leaving your tractor, be sure the tractor is completely stopped.

3.Do not park on a steep slope. Rather, park on solid, flat, level ground whenever possible. If parking on a slope is unavoidable, park the tractor across the slope, and lower the implement to the ground and chock the wheels.

4.Allow the tractor to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
