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 move-
ments.
8. Before making reverse movements
with your tractor, you should always
check to see that the path is clear.
1. It is recommended that you read
and understand this entire manual
before operation of your new trac-
tor. Failure to do so could result in
accidents or injury.
2.Only persons who are properly
trained should be allowed to operate
the tractor.

A ROPS should never be modied 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 tted 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 8-4.
19. Before starting your tractor you
should depress the clutch and
make sure that all shift levers are
in the neutral position and parking
brake is applied.
20. For your safety ROPS with a seat
belt is recommended for all ap-
plications.

7. Improper use of the draw-bar, even
if correctly positioned, can cause a
rear overturn.
8. Do not overload an attachment
or towed equipment. Use proper
counterweights to maintain tractor
stability. Hitch heavy loads to the
draw-bar only.
M55O117a
9. Check for correct coupling
between tow hook and trailer.
See the Towing Attachments
chapter.
10. Use ballast weight as recomm-
ended. Never add more ballast to
compensate a higher load than
allowed. Reduce load for safety.
11. A safety chain will help control
drawn equipment should it be
accidentally separated from the
H11O682a
draw-bar while transporting.
Using the proper adaptor
parts, attach the chain to the
tractor draw-bar support or
other specified anchor location.
Provide only enough slack in the
chain to permit turning. See your
Dealer for a chain with a strength
rating equal to, or greater than
the gross weight of the towed
machine.

rst read their respective owner’s
manual. You should always keep
their safe operation procedures in
mind.
17. You should be familiar with your
equipment and its limitations.
18. 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 dangerous
and should be avoided. Refer to
the "Specications of Implement
Limitation", which outlines the
maximum load for safe tractor
operation.
13. Always use the proper ballast
weight on your tractor when using
rear implements.
14. Watch front and rear to avoid
obstacles at row ends, near trees
and around other obstructions.
S76O113a
Drive carefully to avoid injury
from penetration of objects from
sides, because this machine
does not comply to OPS.
WARNING
12. If the front of the tractor tends to
rise up when heavy implements
are attached to the three point
hitch, weights should be installed
on the tractor. Do not operate the
tractor with a light front end.
