SAFETY INFORMATION (continued)
When maneuvering close to buildings or passing through narrow areas, be sure to allow sufficient clearance for the implement and tractor or ATV.
When removing, or adjusting equipment, be sure that your feet are never under the implement.
Be careful to avoid catching the implement on stumps or other immovable objects.
Use extra care when working on slopes.
Avoid excessive speed during operation.
Make implement adjustments only when the implement is attached to the tractor.
Always ease the tractor or ATV into the load.
Watch for and avoid hidden obstructions, i.e., buried pipes, rocks, concrete piers, uneven concrete slabs, stumps, etc., when operating equipment.
Never operate tractor and implement under trees with low hanging limbs. Operators can be knocked off the tractor and then run over by the implement.
Always be sure the implement is in the proper position for transport.
Reduce speed when transporting mounted implements to avoid bouncing and momentary loss of steering control.
Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations, including narrow bridges, inter- sections, etc.
Do not exceed 10 mph (16 kph). Reduce speed on rough roads and surfaces.
