Mitsubishi MT180D Instruction Book

By operating the PTO shift lever located on left hand side
of the transmission case, the three PTO speeds can be
selected.
When shifting the PTO shift lever, lower the engine speed
depress the clutch pedal fully to interrupt the power from
the engine and make sure the machine is brought to a
complete halt.

A CAUTION
1. When using a rotary tiller in the field with many
stones or stumps or hard soil, where a lot of shock
will affect on, care should be taken so that the
rotary tiller will not be damaged.
2. When using implements driven by PTO shaft, be
sure to refer to implement manuals and operate
them exactly as instructed.
3. When any implement is towed by the tractor, care
should be taken so that the universal joint does
not form an angle of more than 15°.
4. When the tractor is working with an impact load,
correctly adjust the slip clutch on the implement
side or use the shear pin of proper material so that
the PTO is not overloaded.
5. To reduce the thrust load to the PTO driven shaft
as much as possible, it is advisable to run a test
operation with an implement without any load.
6. Lubricate the PTO driven shaft well.
7. Avoid using a square-shaped drive shaft where
practicable.
8. Special care shou Id be given to the yoke position
so that the driven shaft is well balanced.
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
This device links the right and left wheels in the transmis-
sion and rotates them at the same speed to prevent either
wheel from slipping or to increase traction force.
Engaging the Differential Lock
Before the tractor slips and the speed is lowered,
depress the pedal with you r right foot and engage the
differential lock. If the differential lock does not
engage at the first attempt, repeat the operation more
forcibly. If it still does not engage, lower the engine
speed and after disengaging the running clutch, repeat
the whole operation as described above. If either of the
left or right wheel has already begun slipping, turn the
throttle lever to the idle running or disengage the
clutch, then depress the differential lock pedal. Make
sure that the pedal is fully depressed. The farther the
pedal is depressed, the better the lock is in effect.
NOTE
Removing your foot off the pedal automatically
releases it, however if it is hard to release, depress
either side of brake pedal instantaneously.
How to Release the Differential Lock
I mmed iately after the right foot is moved off the
pedal, the differential lock is automatically released by
force of the spring. However, it must be remembered
that the lock may not be released under special condi-
tions. In th is case, the right and left brake pedals
should be quickly and alternatively depressed, then,
the differential lock will be set free. If the same occurs
while plowing, the brake pedal of the land wheel side
should be applied. The lock will be let out. When the
both right and left brakes are I inked for towing a trailer,
operation of the steering handle to right and left allows
the lock to be free. When the tractor is stopped with
the differential lock applied, reverse running with a
jerk can release the lock.
ACAUTION
Avoid using the differential lock when operating the
tractor at high speed or running on a road.
