A WARNING
For travelling at high speed, interlocking the left and
right brakes is particularly essential. Be sure not to
travel at high speed with left and right brakes being
independent to each other (not being interlocked).
7. Do not attempt to stop tractor using brakes, which
may cause failure of transmission internals or prema-
tured wear of brake linings.
8. To avoid damaging brake or transmission system, be
sure
to release the parking brake before travelling.
9. While increasing the engine speed gradually, release the
clutch pedal slowly.
A WARNING
1. Release the clutch gradually. Releasing it suddenly
is hazardous causing the tractor to lunge.
2. Before travelling backward, be sure to check for
any obstacle beh ind the tractor.
3. For travelling on public road or working at high
speed, be sure to lock the left and right brake
pedals with locking plate so that both brakes are
applied simultaneously.
4. During high speed operation or travelling on road,
do not use differential lock. The 4-wheel drive
shift lever and PTO shift lever should be placed in
"OFF" and "NEUTRAL" positions respectively.
5. While travelling, remove your foot off the clutch
or brake pedals.
6. Independent use of left or right brakes should
only .be allowed for low speed operation.
A CAUTION
For travelling with 3-point linkage attached, tie it
with belt or the like for prevention of swinging of
the lower link.
7. If any implement is mounted, turn the tractor
slowly paying particular care for the space.
8. Do not make a sharp turn at high speed. Be sure to
lower the engine speed before turning.
9. Before starting the operation on slope, check for
the existence of stone, irregularity, rutting or
other dangerous factors which could lead to an
accident. Avoid the operation on steep slope as it
can be a cause of tipping over.
10. On the downhill, use engine brake. Do not place
the main shift lever in "NEUTRAL" position.
11. For towing use a draw-bar only. Set the hitch
point below the center line of the rear axle.
