WARNING
CAUTION
To avoid any hazards, turn “OFF”
the Quick-turn selection switch.
Do not use in high-speed works
such as plowing.
Do not use when a loader is
installed.
For the safety reasons, the
Quick-turn device cannot be op-
erated even though you turn ON
the Quick-turn selection switch
while the Hi-Lo shift lever is in
high-speed position.
Normally, the Quick-turn device
operates when the steering
wheel is completely turned to
left or right direction.
It will shift into four-wheel drive
when the steering wheel returns
to straight ahead position.
However, when shifting into four-
wheel drive after turning, tractor
may not move due to rear
wheel’s slip. (You may hear click-
ing sounds from the transmis-
sion but this is normal) When you
meet this condition, simply de-
press the clutch pedal to oper-
ate four-wheel drive.
Never use Quick-turn while high-
speed driving.
Never use Quick-turn while driv-
ing on steep hills and sharp turns.
