Safety

Use Caution on Hillsides
TS205
–UN–23AUG88
Avoid holes, ditches, and obstructions which cause the
tractor to tip, especially on hillsides. Avoid sharp, uphill
turns.
Never drive near the edge of a gully or steep
embankment -- it might cave in.
Driving forward out of a ditch or mired condition or up a
steep slope could cause tractor to tip over rearward. Back
out of these situations if possible.
Danger of overturn increases greatly with narrow tread
setting, at high speed.
Hitch towed loads only to drawbar. When using a chain,
take up the slack slowly.
AG,OUO6035,83 –19–17MAY00–1/1
Shift to Low Gear on Hills
LV4042
–UN–09JUL99
Shift to a low gear before descending a steep hill to
improve your control of the tractor with little or no braking.
Use engine braking to reduce speed before applying
tractor brakes. Run-away tractors often tip over. Never
coast downhill.
When driving on icy, wet or oily surfaces, reduce speed
and be sure tractor is properly ballasted (specially front
tyres)to avoid skidding and loss of steering control.
Additional ballast may be needed for transporting heavy
hitch mounted implements. When implement is raised,
drive slowly over rough ground, regardless of how much
ballast is used.
