OPERATING THE TRACTOR34
BSynchro-Shuttle Shift Lever
Shift the shuttle shift lever forward to obtain forward
speeds and shift back to obtain reverse speeds. This
shifting requires clutch operation.
A The synchro-shuttle shift lever may be shifted while
the tractor is moving slowly and the clutch is
depressed, but sudden gear shifting may cause
transmission damage.
BFront Wheel Drive Lever
[4WD]
To avoid personal injury or death:
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.
Use the lever to engage the front wheels with the tractor
stopped. Shift the lever to "ON" to engage the front wheel
drive.
A Depress the clutch pedal before engaging the front
wheel drive lever.
A If the front wheel drive lever is difficult to set to OFF,
stop the tractor, turn the steering wheel and move the
lever.
A Tires will wear quickly if front wheel drive is engaged
on paved roads.
C Front wheel drive is effective for the following
jobs:
1. When greater pulling force is needed, such as working
in a wet field, when pulling a trailer, or when working
with a front-end loader.
2. When working in sandy soil.
3. When working on a hard soil where a rotary tiller might
push the tractor forward.
4. For increased braking at reduced speed.
BHand Throttle Lever
Pulling the throttle lever back decreases engine speed,
and pushing it forward increases engine speed.
BFoot Throttle
Use the foot throttle when traveling on the road. Press
down on it for higher speed. The foot throttle is interlocked
with the hand throttle lever; when using the foot throttle,
keep the hand throttle lever in low idling position.
(1) Front wheel drive lever (A) "ON"
(B) "OFF"
7. Accelerate the engine.
(1) Hand throttle lever
(2) Foot throttle
"INCREASE"
"DECREASE"
