1. Disengagement of the 4-wheel drive is
recommended.
2. Remember that the braking characteristics differ
between the two and four wheel drive modes. Be
aware of the current drive mode and use
carefully.
3. Before turning, always slow down the tractor.
High-speed turn may cause the tractor to tip over.
4. When traveling on a road, be sure that the Slow
Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem is on the tractor
and is clearly visible. Use the hazard lights and
turn lights as required by the currently effective
local laws or regulations.
5. Strictly observe all the currently effective local
traffic and safety laws and regulations.
6. Turn ON the headlights as required by the
currently effective local laws or regulations.
7. Always travel at a speed that allows you to
maintain control of the tractor.
8. Avoid engaging differential lock while traveling on
a road. It may cause you to lose control of the
tractor.
9. While traveling on a road, do not suddenly turn
the steering wheel. Such an action can lead to
loss in the stability of the tractor, and can cause
an extremely dangerous situation.
10. While on a road, do not attempt to operate an
implement. During transportation, put the 3-point
hitch control lever in its raised position and lock it
with the position stop knob. Do not fully close the
hydraulic flow control / stop knob to hold an
implement in the raised position while the tractor
is traveling with the implements.
Doing so could cause damage to the hydraulic lift
circuit.
11. When towing another implement, connect a
safety chain to the implement and mount a Slow
Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem on it.
1. Disengage the Power Take Off (PTO), lower the
implement to the ground, shift all the levers to
their neutral positions, engage the parking brake
securely, shut down the engine and remove the
starter key switch.
2. Before leaving your tractor, be sure the tractor is
completely stopped.
3. Do not park on a steep slope. Rather, park on
solid, flat, level ground whenever possible. If
parking on a slope is unavoidable, park the
tractor across the slope, and lower the implement
to the ground and chock the wheels.
4. Allow the tractor to cool at least 5 minutes before
storing.
