1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Sc2400 Operator’s Manual

1. Disengagement of the 4-wheel drive is

recommended.

2. Remember that the braking characteristics differ

between the two and four wheel drive modes. Be
aware of the current drive mode and use
carefully.

3. Before turning, always slow down the tractor.

High-speed turn may cause the tractor to tip over.

4. When traveling on a road, be sure that the Slow

Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem is on the tractor
and is clearly visible. Use the hazard lights and
turn lights as required by the currently effective
local laws or regulations.

5. Strictly observe all the currently effective local

traffic and safety laws and regulations.

6. Turn ON the headlights as required by the

currently effective local laws or regulations.

7. Always travel at a speed that allows you to

maintain control of the tractor.

8. Avoid engaging differential lock while traveling on

a road. It may cause the operator to lose control
of the tractor.

9. While traveling on a road, do not suddenly turn

the steering wheel. Such an action can lead to
loss in the stability of the tractor, and can cause
an extremely dangerous situation.

10. While on a road, do not attempt to operate an

implement. During transportation, put the 3-point
hitch control / cutting height adjustment lever in
its raised position and lock it with the position
stop knob. Do not fully close the hydraulic flow
control / stop knob.

1. Disengage the Power Take Off (PTO), lower the

implement to the ground, set the forward and
reverse drive pedal in the neutral positions,
engage the parking brake securely, stop the
engine and remove the key from the starter key
switch.

2. Before leaving your tractor, be sure the tractor is

completely stopped.

3. Do not park on a steep slope. Rather, park on

solid, flat, level ground whenever possible. If
parking on a slope is unavoidable, park the
tractor across the slope, and lower the implement
to the ground and chock the wheels.

4. Allow the tractor to cool at least 5 minutes before

storing.
