T

ION

Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes.
When operating down a hill or on a wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance increases;
use extreme care and reduce your speed in these conditions. When operating in traffic,
always use the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic
around you and watch out for the other guy.

Always disengage the tractor differential lock when turning. When engaged the differential
lock will prevent or limit the tractor from turning. During normal cutting conditions, locking
the differential provides no benefit and should not be used.
