DRIVING THE TRACTOR
WARNING: OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
PRECAUTIONS WHEN DRIVING THE
TRACTOR:
WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING -
ESPECIALLY AT ROW ENDS, ON ROADS,
AND AROUND TREES.
USE CAUTION WHEN OPERATING ON
SLOPES.
KEEP THE TRACTOR IN GEAR WHEN
GOING DOWNHILL. USE A LOW GEAR
TO MAINTAIN CONTROL WITH MINIMUM
BRAKING.
ALWAYS USE THE DRAWBAR FOR
PULL-TYPE WORK. DO NOT PULL FROM
ANY OTHER PART OF THE TRACTOR
SINCE IT MAY TIP OVER.
DIM THE TRACTOR HEADLIGHTS WHEN
MEETING A VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY
AT NIGHT. KEEP THE LIGHTS ADJUSTED
SO THEY DO NOT BLIND THE OPERATOR
OF AN ONCOMING VEHICLE.
ENGAGE THE CLUTCH PEDAL SLOWLY
WHEN DRIVING OUT OF A DITCH, GULLY,
OR UP A STEEP HILLSIDE.
REDUCE SPEED BEFORE TURNING OR
APPLYING THE BRAKE.
NEVER APPLY THE DIFFERENTIAL
LOCK WHEN TURNING.
USE EXTREME CAUTION AND AVOID
HARD APPLICATIONS OF THE TRACTOR
BRAKE WHEN PULLING HEAVY, TOWED
LOADS AT ROAD SPEEDS.
TOWED LOADS THAT WEIGH MORE
THAN THE WEIGHT OF THE TRACTOR
SHOULD HAVE BRAKES FOR SAFE
OPERATION. ENSURE COMPLIANCE
WITH LOCAL REGULATIONS.
ALWAYS SIT IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT
WHILE STARTING OR DRIVING THE
TRACTOR.
ALWAYS USE A SLOW-MOVING VEHICLE
(SMV) EMBLEM WHEN TRAVELING ON
PUBLIC ROADS.
