safety precautions, and pay attention
to the job at hand. If you can prevent
an accident, your time will have been
well spent.
BEFORE OPERATING THE
TRACTOR
5. Keep safety decals clean of dirt
and debris.
6. Watch where you are going at all
times so that you are able to avoid
obstacles that can cause injury or
damage to your tractor.
7. When starting the tractor make
sure your path is clear of people to
avoid accidents caused by sudden
movements.
8. Before making reverse move-
ments with your tractor, you should

tor, handholds and step plates
should always be used. This will
help to prevent accidental slips
trips and falls.

A ROPS should never be modified
by welding, grinding or cutting, as
this can weaken the ROPS structure.
If any components of the ROPS unit
is damaged, it must be replaced.
If the ROPS unit is removed or loos-
ened for any reason, the parts should
be fitted back to their original posi-
tions and all bolts should be properly
torqued.
21. Extra caution should be taken
when driving tractors with narrow
tread widths. For added stability
you should adjust your rear wheel
tread width, see page 5-39.
19. Before starting your tractor you
should depress the clutch and
make sure that all shift levers are
in the neutral position.
20. For your safety ROPS with a seat
belt is recommended for most
applications.
(1) Tread
621O106a 621O107a
NOTE
Always use seat belt when the
tractor is equipped with a ROPS.
Never use the seat belt when
tractor is not equipped with a
ROPS.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Avoid accidental contact with gear
shift levers while the engine is run-
ning. Unexpected tractor move-
ments can result in bodily injury.
2. Do not park your tractor on a steep
incline, and remember to shut off
the engine and P.T.O before dis-
mounting the tractor.
OPERATING THE TRACTOR
3. Do not operate your tractor in an
enclosed building without the prop-
er ventilation. Exhaust fumes can
cause serious injury or death.

7. Always use the proper ballast
weight on your tractor when using
rear implements.
8. Watch front and rear for and avoid
obstacles at row ends, near trees
and around other obstructions.
4. Make sure that all pressure lines
are tight before starting the tractor.
5. Pull only from the drawbar. Nev-
er hitch anything to the axle hous-
ing or any other point except the
drawbar. Pulling from any other lo-
cation only increase the risk of se-
rious personal injury or death.
6. If The front of the tractor tends to
rise up when heavy implements
are attached to the three point
hitch, the weights should be in-
stalled on the tractor. Do not op-
erate the tractor with a light front
end.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

9. Do not leave equipment in the
raised position when the vehicle
is stopped or unattended.
10. When using implements or at-
tachments with your tractor you
should rst read their respective
owner's manual. You should al-
ways keep their safe operation
procedures in mind.
11. You should be familiar with your
equipment and its limitations.
12. If abused or used incorrectly your
tractor can become dangerous to
you and bystanders. Overload-
ing your tractor or using unsafe
equipment can also be danger-
ous and should be avoided. Re-
fer to the "Specifications of Im-
plement Limitation", which out-
lines the maximum load for safe
tractor operation.
15. When working in groups, always
let the others know what you are
going to do before you do it.
16. Never "freewheel". Disengaging
the clutch or shifting into neutral
while descending a slope as this
could lead to a loss of control.
17. Do not operate near ditches,
holes, embankments, or other
terrain features which may col-
lapse under the tractor's weight.
The risk of tractor upset is even
higher when the ground is loose
or wet.
13. Driving forward out of a ditch
or steep inclines can cause the
tractor to tip over backwards. To
avoid this you should back out of
these positions. Four wheel drive
tractors can give you a false
sense of security in the tractors
ability to maneuver out of these
positions, so extra caution should
be taken.
14. Never try to get on or off a mov-
ing tractor.

2. Always slow the tractor before
turning. Turning at high speed may
tip the tractor over.
3. Make sure that the Slow Moving
Vehicle (SMV) sign is clean and
visible. Use hazard lights as re-
quired.
1. Lock the brake pedals togeth-
er when traveling at road speeds.
Brake both wheels simultaneously
when making an emergency stop.
Uneven braking at road speeds
could cause the tractor to tip over.

maintain control at all times.
7. Do not apply the differential lock
while traveling at road speeds.
As the tractor may run out of con-
trol.
8. Avoid sudden movements of the
steering wheel as this can cause
a loss of control of the tractor.
This risk is especially great when
traveling at road speeds.
9. Do not operate an implement
while the tractor is on the road.
Lock the three point hitch in the
raised position.
10. When towing other equipment,
use a safety chain and place an
SMV emblem on it as well.
1. Disengage the P.T.O, lower all
implements, place all control le-
vers in the neutral position, set
the parking brake, stop the engine
and remove the key.
PARKING THE TRACTOR
621O119a
OPERATING THE P.T.O
(1) P.T.O Shaft Cover
1. Make sure the tractor is complete-
ly stopped, gears are in neutral
and all moving components have
completely stopped before con-
necting, disconnecting, adjusting,
cleaning or servicing any P.T.O
driven equipment.
2. Keep the P.T.O shaft cover in
place at all times. Replace the
P.T.O shaft cap when the shaft is
not in use.

3. Before installing or using P.T.O
driven equipment, read the man-
ufacturer's manual and review the
safety labels attached to the equip-
ment.
4. When operating stationary P.T.O
driven equipment, always apply
the tractor parking brake and place
chocks behind and in front of the
rear wheels. Stay clear of all rotat-
ing parts.

USING 3-POINT HITCH
1. Use the 3-point hitch only with
equipment designed for 3-point
hitch usage.
2. When using a 3-point hitch mount-
ed implement, be sure to install the
proper counterbalance weight on
the front of the tractor.
3. When transporting on the road, set
the implement lowering control in
the "LOCK" position to hold the im-
plement in the raised position.
In order to service your tractor you
must park it on a at level surface, set
the parking brake, place the gear shift
lever in neutral and stop the engine.
1. D o no t s m o ke w h i le w o r k in g
around the battery or when refu-
eling your tractor. Keep all sparks
and flames away for the battery
and fuel tank. The battery pres-
ents an explosive hazard because
it gives off hydrogen and oxygen…
especially when recharging.

2. Allow the tractor time to cool off be-
fore servicing any part that may
have become hot while the tractor
was running.
3. You must always stop the engine
before refueling the tractor. Avoid
overlling the tractor or spilling the
fuel.
4. Before jump starting a dead bat-
tery, read and follow all of the in-
structions.
5. Keep a first aid kit and fire extin-
guisher handy at all times.
6. Do not remove the radiator cap
while the coolant is hot. When cool,
slowly rotate the cap to the first
stop and allow sufficient time for
excess pressure to escape. After
all the pressure is released remove
the cap completely. If your tractor
is equipped with a coolant recovery
tank, add coolant there rather than
to the radiator.
621O124a 621O125a
7. When working with your tractors
electrical components you must
rst disconnect the battery cables.
8. To ensure that there are no acci-
dents from sparks you must first
disconnect the negative battery ca-
ble.

9. Tire mounting should be done by
qualified professionals, with the
proper equipment.
10. Maintaining correct tire pressure
is important for the life of your
tires.
Do not inate the tires above the
recommended pressure specied
in the owner’s manual.
11. Securely support the tractor when
changing wheels or the wheel
tread width.
(1) Cardboard (2) Hydraulic Line
(3) Magnifying Glass
12. Make sure that wheel bolts have
been tightened to the specified
torque.
13. Escaping hydraulic fluid under
pressure has sufficient force to
penetrate skin, causing serious
personal injury. Be sure to release
all residual pressure. Before dis-
connecting hydraulic lines.
Before adding pressure to the hy-
draulic system, make sure that all
connections are tight and that all
line, pipes and hoses are free of
damage.
14. Fluid escaping from pinholes may
be invisible. Do not use hands to
search for suspected leaks;
Use a piece of cardboard or
wood, instead. Use of safety gog-
gles or other eye protection is also
highly recommended. If injured by
escaping uid, see a medical doc-
tor at once. This uid can produce
gangrene and/or severe allergic
reaction.
