- Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the tractor with weak or faulty brakes

or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance

increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. 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.

• turn curves or go up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted

implements move the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels.

make certain, by adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front

wheels to prevent rearing up, loss of steering control or tractor tip-over.

• slow down on rough or uneven surfaces to prevent loss of steering control which could result in

property damage or possible injury. Do not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and

in the latched transport position. Dropping implement in transport can cause serious damage to

the tractor and/or implement and possibly cause the operator or others to be injured or killed.

• In wet conditions where there is a likelihood of material collecting on the implement, make

certain that excess material is removed before traveling on public roadways.

• allow sufficient clearance for the implement to swing outward while turning. Implements carried

behind the tractor will swing outside the tire path when making turns. Contacting a solid object

while turning will cause equipment damage and possible injury.

• Use extreme caution when getting onto the implement to perform repairs, maintenance and

when removing accumulated material. Only stand on solid flat surfaces to ensure good footing.
