To avoid personal injury:
A When you leave the tractor, be sure to apply the
parking brake and stop the engine.
A IN APPLYING THE BRAKES:
A The torque of the wheel axle is extremely
high while creep speed is being used. Be
sure to step down on the clutch pedal
completely before applying the brakes, or
they will not work
A When starting to operate the tractor, be sure
to release the parking brakes.
Misuse of the brakes may cause damage to
the transmission and is therefore not
acceptable to KUBOTA for coverage under
the warranty.

tractor's motion before shifting the range gear shift
lever.
BFront Wheel Drive Lever
To avoid personal injury:
A Do not engage the front wheel drive when
traveling at road speed.
A When driving on icy, wet, or loose surfaces,
make sure the tractor is correctly ballasted to
avoid skidding and loss of steering control.
Operate at reduced speed and engage front
wheel drive.
A An accident may occur if the tractor is
suddenly braked, such as by heavy towed
loads shifting forward or loss of control.
A The braking characteristics are different
between 2 and 4-wheel drive. Be aware of the
difference and use carefully.
The front wheel drive lever can be operated with the
tractor moving slowly and with the engine decelerating
without clutch operation. Shift the lever to "ON" to engage
