SAFE OPERATION Always slow down the tractor before turning. Turning at high speed may tip over the tractor. Observe all local traffic and safety regulations. Use the registration plate as required. remove the key from the ignition and lock the CAB door (if equipped). Leaving transmission in gear with the engine stopped will not prevent the tractor from rolling. Make sure that the tractor has come to a complete stop before dismounting. Avoid parking on steep slopes. If at all possible, park on a firm and level surface; if not, park across a slope and chock the wheels. Failure to comply with this warning may allow the tractor to move and could cause injury or death.
OPERATING THE PTO Wait until all moving components have completely stopped before getting off the tractor, connecting, disconnecting, adjusting, cleaning, or servicing any PTO driven equipment. Keep the PTO shaft cover in place at all times. Replace the PTO shaft cap when the shaft is not in use. (1) Registration plate Turn the headlights on. Dim them when meeting another vehicle. Drive at speeds that allow you to maintain control at all times. Do not apply the differential lock while traveling at road speeds. The tractor may run out of control. Avoid sudden motions of the steering wheel as they can lead to a dangerous loss of stability.
The risk is especially great when the tractor is traveling at road speeds. Do not operate an implement while the tractor is on the road. Lock the 3-point hitch in the raised position. Set the 3-point hitch lowering speed knob in the position to hold the implement in the raised position.

When operating stationary PTO driven equipment, always apply both of the tractor's parking brakes and place chocks behind and in front of the rear wheels. Stay clear of all rotating parts. Never step over rotating parts.
USING 3-POINT HITCH (1) 3-point hitch lowering speed knob (A) (B) (C) Use the 3-point hitch only with equipment designed for the appropriate category of 3-point hitch usage. When using a 3-point hitch mounted implement, be sure to install the proper counterbalance weight on the front of the tractor.
