Be Careful on Descents

Operate only with Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) installed. Always use seat belt to reduce the possibility of accidents in the event of roll over.

Avoid irregular surfaces and obstructions which could cause the tractor to roll over, especially when working on slopes. Avoid sharp turns when going up slopes.

Never drive on the edge of steep banks or ravines as these could collapse.

Try to avoid muddy conditions and, with steep ascents, reverse tractor to avoid roll over.

When front-wheel drive is engaged the tractor can negotiate steeper ascents, however, does not gain greater stability. When using this option more care needs to be taken on descents. Compared with a 4x2 tractor, a tractor with front-wheel drive maintains uphill traction in the same way, which increases the possibility of roll-over.

Risk of roll over increases if a narrow tread is used or if the tractor is driven at high speeds.

When transporting implements by drawbar, use a safety chain with sufficient play.
