8. OPERATING THE TRACTOR

●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.

●While on a road, NEVER attempt to operate an implement. Keep the 3-point hitch in the raised position during transport.

3. Moving the Tractor Manually while the Engine is Stopped

WARNING

Avoid injury:

Setting the Hydro Static Transmission (HST) pressure release lever to the ON position makes the tractor freely move.

●Do not operate the Hydro Static Transmission (HST) pressure release lever on a slope. Setting the Hydro Static Transmission (HST) pressure release lever to the ON position on the slope makes the axles freely move, so that the tractor will be out of control.

●Before setting the Hydro Static Transmission (HST) pressure release lever to the ON position, park the tractor in a flat place and engage the parking brake securely.

WARNING

●Do not operate the Hydro Static Transmission (HST) pressure release lever while the engine is running.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage.

Moving the tractor in an improper way may damage the transmission. Move the tractor by hand only. ●Do not move the tractor with using other machine. ●Do not tow the tractor.
