Be Careful on Descents

• Only work 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.
