8. OPERATING THE TRACTOR
Ex2900 / 3200 Operator's Manual
1. Before approaching a slope, select a lower gear
setting.
(A) Range shift lever
(a) Shift to a lower speed
2. ALWAYS travel slowly on a slope.
3. Drive the tractor according to the type of a slope, as
instructed below:
■ Uphill / Downhill
Start slowly. Ensure that the transmission is in a slow
setting. Run the engine at a lower speed.
■ Steep Downhill
To be able to apply the engine brake, turn the range shift
lever to the lowest speed range.
●When backing up a slope, keep the tractor parallel
with the gradient of the slope.
6. About the Power Steering
●While the engine is running on the tractor equipped
with the power steering feature, the steering wheel
can turn with a minimum force. NEVER operate the
steering wheel suddenly, especially while traveling
on a paved road. Otherwise, an accident can occur.
The power steering feature is operative only when the
engine is running. Note that when the engine is running at
a lower speed, the steering wheel will need slightly greater
force. This is considered normal operation.
IMPORTANT:
●Fully turning the steering wheel will cause the relief
valve to trip and an audible signal will sound. This
situation may be ignored only for a short duration.
NEVER operate the steering in relief for a prolonged
period.
●Turning the steering wheel while the tractor is not
running can promote damage on the tires and rims.
Avoid such an action whenever possible.
