You should make sure that the warning
lamps and SMV sign are clean and vis-
ible at all times. If you are towing rear
mounted equipment or implements you will
need to install the warning lamps and SMV
sign on the equipment.
1. Be sure that the wheels are adjusted
to provide the maximum stability
possible.
2. You should slow down for rough
roads, slopes, and sharp turns. This
is especially important when you are
transporting heavy equipment on the
rear of the tractor.
3. You should used gears according to
the decent of the slope, and try to avoid
using the brake.
OPERATING ON A SLOPES AND
ROUGH TERRAIN
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
To help assure straight line stops
when driving at transport speeds,
lock the brake pedals together.
Uneven braking at road speeds
could cause the tractor to roll-
over.
When traveling on road with 3-
point hitch mounted implement
attached, be sure to have suffi-
cient front weight on the tractor
to maintain steering ability.
To avoid personal injury:
Always back up when going up a
steep slope. Driving forward could
cause the tractor to tip over
backward. Stay off hills and slopes
too steep for safe operation.
Avoid changing gears when
climbing or descending a slope.
If operating on a slope, never dis-
engage the clutch or shift levers
to neutral. Doing so could cause
loss of control.
Do not drive the tractor close to
the edges of ditches or banks
which may collapse under the
weight of the tractor. Especially
when the ground is loose or wet.
CAUTION
DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF
POWER STEERING
1. Power steering is activated only while
the engine is running. Slow engine
speeds make the steering a little
heavier. While the engine is stopped,
the tractor functions in the same man-
ner as tractors without power
steering.
2. When the steering wheel is turned all
the way to the stop, the relief valve is
activated. Do not hold the steering
wheel in this position for a long period
of time.
3. Avoid turning the steering wheel while
the tractor is stopped, or tires may
wear out sooner.
4. The power steering mechanism makes
the steering easier. Be carefuel when
driving on an road at high speeds.
