sure to lock both brake pedals together
before driving to prevent either brake from
acting independently.

the differential lock before going into
a turn, being careful to prevent any
attachments mounted on the front or rear
from hitting anyone or anything.

place the shift lever in low speed and use
engine brake.
Never try to reduce the speed with brake
only.
Towing a heavy object on a hill is highly
hazardous. Widen the tread of the tractor
and mount the wheel weight or chassis
weight to increase the stability and
operate with extra precaution.
SAFETY/DECALS

When operating the tractor on either a
steep slope or at ground, be sure not to
suddenly steer, brake, clutch or operate
attachments.
Do not operate the tractor at the edge of
cliff or slope. Be particularly careful right
after the rain when soil is soft and may
give way easily.
For towing, be sure to use the drawbar
only. Set the hitch point below the center
line of the rear axle. When using a chain,
never try to move forward abruptly.
Avoid operating the tractor on an extreme
slope that appears hazardous, when
forced to operate on such slope, use
extra care. Driving forward out of a ditch
or mired condition or up a steep slope
could cause tractor to tip over rearward.
Back out of such situation does not
permit you back out, use the front wheel
weight or the chassis weight for balancing
the tractor lengthwise. Also in case any
extra-heavy rear mounting. Attachments
is used, try to obtain better balance in this
manner.
C-6. Using Attachment
To mount or operate attachment, follow
the instruction manual for the particular
attachment for safe operation.
When using agricultural chemicals with
an attachment on the tractor, always
follow the instructions in the manual for
the attachment as well as the instructions
