OPERATING THE TRACTOR28
A When using the differential lock, always slow the
engine down.
A To prevent damage to power train, do not engage
differential lock when one wheel is spinning and the
other is completely stopped.
A If the differential lock cannot be released in the above
manner, step lightly on the brake pedals alternately.
BOperating the Tractor on a Road
To avoid personal injury:
A To help assure straight line stops when driving
at transport speeds, lock the brake pedals
together. Uneven braking at road speeds could
cause the tractor to roll-over.
A When traveling on road with 3-point hitch
mounted implement attached, be sure to have
sufficient front weight on the tractor to
maintain steering ability.
A Towed equipment (without brake) must not
exceed 1.5 times the tractor weight when
traveling on roads or at high speeds.
Be sure SMV emblem and hazard light are clean and
visible. If towed or rear-mounted equipment obstructs
these safety devices, install SMV emblem and hazard
light on equipment.
Consult your local KUBOTA dealer for further detail.
BOperating on Slopes or Rough Terrain
To avoid personal injury:
A Always back up when going up a steep slope.
Driving forward could cause the tractor to tip
over backward. Stay off hills and slopes too
steep for safe operation.
A Avoid changing gears when climbing or
descending a slope.
A If operating on a slope, never disengage the
clutch or shift levers to neutral. Doing so could
cause loss of control.
A Do not drive the tractor close to the edges of
ditches or banks which may collapse under the
weight of the tractor. Especially when the
ground is loose or wet.
1. Be sure wheel tread is adjusted to provide proper
stability.
(See "WHEEL ADJUSTMENT" in "TIRES, WHEELS
AMD BALLAST" section.)
2. Slow down for slopes, rough ground, or sharp turns,
especially when transporting heavy, rear mounted
equipment.
3. Before descending a slope, shift to a gear low enough
to control speed without using brakes.
BDirections for Use of Power Steering
1. Power steering is activated only while the engine is
running. While the engine is stopped, the tractor
functions in the same manner as tractors without
power steering.
2. When the steering wheel is turned all the way to the
stop, the relief valve is activated. Do not hold the
steering wheel in this position for a long period of time.
3. Avoid turning the steering wheel while the tractor is
stopped, or tires may wear out sooner.
4. The power steering mechanism makes the steering
easier. Be careful when driving on a road at high
speeds.
