RULES FOR TRAVELING IN REVERSE
Traveling in reverse may pose several hazards. Below is a list if some basic rules to follow when traveling in reverse.
• Be sure the area behind you is clear of people or objects that might be in the way
• Before moving your machine, sound the horn to warn others in your area you are moving.

TRAVELING ON ICY OR SNOW-COVERED SURFACES
If the ground is icy or covered with snow, the response of the machine to the movements of the steering wheel may not be as
precise as expected. To limit the risk resulting from reduced maneuverability, proceed as follows:
• Engage the four-wheel drive system. Remember, the four-wheel drive system will not effect your braking.
• Travel at a slow safe speed. Avoid rapped accelerations or breaking.
• Remember your stopping distances are reduced during slippery conditions.
WORKING ON LOOSE OR UNSTABLE GROUND
To limit the risk when working in these areas:
• Avoid operating the machine too close too the edge of a cliff, open trenches or ditch lines. These areas may collapse under
the weight of your machine causing serious damage to the machine or injury to the operator.
• Keep in mind after a heavy rain or thaw, the surface conditions become worse and less stable.
