Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill or down- hill. Mow up and down the face of steep slopes; never across the face. Reduce speed on slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss of control. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Stay alert for holes in terrain and other hidden hazards. Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment. A. Use only approved drawbar hitch points. B. Limit loads to those you can safely controL C. Do not turn sharply. Use care when backing. D.

Do not operate equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals. Always wear substantial footwear. FUEL & FI RE HAZARDS Handle gasoline with care -- it is highly flammable. A. Use approved gasoline container. B. Never remove cap or add gasoline to a running or hot engine or fill fuel tank indoors. Wipe up spilled gasoline. 2 C. Open doors if engine is run in garage -- exhaust fumes are dangerous. Do not run engine indoors. Never store equipment with gasoline in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allow engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. To reduce fire hazard keep engine free of grass, leaves or excessive grease. ATTACHMENTS Disengage all attachment clutches and shift into neutral before attempting to start engine.

Keep vehicle and attachments in good operating condition and keep safety devices in place. Use guards as instructed in owner's manuaL Vehicle and attachments should be stopped and inspected for damage after striking a foreign object and the damage should be repaired before restarting and operating the equipment. When using vehicle with mower: (I) Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light. (2) Never make a cutting height adjustment while engine is running if operator must dismount to do so. (3) Shut engine off when unclogging chute. (4) Check blade mounting bolts for proper tightness at frequent intervals. Stop blades when crossing gravel drives, walks or roads. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

SIMPLICITY OFFERS YOU ____________ _ The Simplicity 4040. It's a new concept, a new size in tractors ... designed from the ground up to do its jobs better and faster than any tractor before it. Integrated design matches tractor, attachments, and function for optimum performance. Not an overgrown garden tractor, not a stripped-down ag or industrial model, the 4040 is specifically engineered to fill the gap that has existed between these categories. It's designed to deliver high performance on a host of rugged jobs ... small-acreage farming and utility chores, industrial and institutional groundskeeping, club maintenance, suburban estate care and similar work. You'll find feature after feature on the Simplicity 4040 that other tractors simply don't offer: Features that tailor it ideally to the jobs it's meant to do. Like the unique combination of hydrostatic drive and 3-speed transmission, that permits selection of precisely the right combination of power and speed for any job, while attachments run at peak efficiency. This drive system also affords effortless, convenient clutchless ground speed changing and reversing. The 4040 also offers power takeoffs that operate independently of the tractor transmission. Driven directly off the engine through electromagnetic clutches, the PTOs deliver continuous power to attachments, so work gets done quickly and efficiently. The rugged, fast-acting hydraulic lift system on the 4040 also helps speed up work and reduce effort. It lets the operator position either front-center or rear-mounted attachments quickly, precisely, with just the touch of a finger. Hydrostatic drive and 3-speed transmission. Only the 4040 offers this combination. Hydrostatic drive gives an infinite selection of speeds -- to 10.4 mph forward, 6.2 mph in reverse controlled by one simple lever, with no need to de-clutch even when changing direction. Three-speed gearbox lets you select the efficient power range for any job. Limited-slip differential ... reduces wheel-spin under slippery conditions. ,..-".' Reliable 16-1/2 H. P. Onan Engine.

Electromagnetic PTa clutches operated by convenient toggle switches on instrument panel. High ground clearance. The 4040 is a full 15" above the ground, to clear row crops easily and work better in snow or soft soil. Even with removable drawbar in place, clearance is still 13". Big disc brakes. Plenty of stopping power from two independent disc brakes on rear wheels. Can be operated independently to aid in steering or controlling slippage, or simultaneously for safe, sure stops.
