6. Turning
m Turning the tractor at excessive speed especially on uneven ter-
rain can cause the tractor to tip over and you can be injured. Slow down
before turning.
To prevent accidental tip over:
l Never make abrupt starts while the wheels are turned.
l Slow down before making sharp and/or hard turns.
l Avoid sharp turns in rutty or uneven terrain.
l Connect the right and left brake pedals with the connector plate except
when making a tight turn by depressing one brake pedal.
l Engaging the differential lock while making sharp turns can cause you to
lose steering control.
l Be sure to raise ground engaging attachments (rotary tillers, disk har-
rows, moldboard plows, etc.), before executing sharp turns. If the at-
tachment is not raised, you can damage the tractor and/or the
attachment.
l Rear attachments swing out in a larger arc than the tractor, and can
strike nearby objects.
l Use care when turning the tractor near a wall or other obstructions
when a rear mounted attachment is being used.
Using the brakes to turn
You can make tighter turns at slow speeds by using the brake on only one
side of the tractor.
