(7) Handling the Turbocharger
(if fitted)
Before accelerating or working the tractor fitted
with the turbocharger, allow the engine to idle at
1000 rpm for about 30 seconds to ensure that
the turbocharger is correctly lubricated.
Before stopping engine fitted with the
turbocharger, allow the engine to idle at low rpm
for several minutes. This allows the turbocharger
and manifold to cool, preventing deformation of
the components.
After stopping engine fitted with the turbocharger,
cover the exhaust tail pipe to prevent the
turbocharger rotating in the wind, resulting in
possible damage to the bearings. The
turbocharger turbine must be prevented from
rotating freely with the engine off, as the shaft
bearings will not be lubricated.
(6) Parking
Stop the tractor on a level surface, not on a slope.
Disengage PTO and place all the transmission
shift lever in NEUTRAL position.
Lower the mounted implements on the ground.
Apply the parking brake.
Stop engine and remove ignition key.
Before you leave the operator’s station, wait for
engine and all moving parts to stop.
Have to apply the wheel chock when parking the
tractor on a slope unavoidably.
▶If it is necessary to park the tractor on a slope, furthermore with loaded trailer, the
tractor may roll down, even though the parking brake is applied. In this case, apply
the gear in low speed and apply the chocks or blocks to all the tire.
- Mechanical : downward slope ⇒ reverse 1 gear / upward slope ⇒ forward 1 gear.
- Power shuttle : Engine brake by low speed gear is NOT available.
Caution
In case of the power shuttle version, to engage the low gear after the engine is stopped is
NOT useful for engine brake. When parking the tractor on a hill, have to apply the parking
brake and wheel chocks to the wheel.
