If it is necessary to park the tractor on an incline, be
sure to chock the wheels to prevent accidental rolling of
the tractor.
TECHNIQUES FOR OPERATING
THE TRACTOR
1. Differential lock
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death due to loss of
steering control:
• Do not operate the tractor at high speed with
differential lock engaged.
• Do not turn the tractor with the differential lock
engaged.
• Be sure to release the differential lock before
turning the tractor in field conditions.
If one of the rear wheels should slip, depress the
differential-lock pedal. Both wheels will then turn
together, which reduce slippage of the rear wheels. You
can keep the differential lock only while the differential-
lock pedal is depressed.
[Manual transmission type]
(1) Differential lock pedal
(A) Engage
(B) Disengage
[HST type]
(1) Differential lock pedal (A) Engage
(B) Disengage
IMPORTANT :
• When using the differential lock, always slow
down the engine.
• To prevent damage to power train, do not
engage the differential lock when 1 wheel is
spinning and the other is completely stopped.
• If you cannot release the differential lock in the
preceding manner, lightly depress the brake
pedals alternately.
2. Precautions for operating the
tractor on a road
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• To help assure the 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.
• When traveling on road with 3-point hitch
mounted implement attached, be sure to get
sufficient front weight on the tractor to keep
steering ability.
Be sure that the SMV emblem, the tail lamps, and
hazard lights are clean and visible. If towed or rear-
mounted equipment obstructs these safety devices,
install the SMV emblem, the tail lamps, and hazard
lights on equipment.
