1.2.4.3 Controlling the driving speed
Adjust the driving speed to suit the driving surface, visibility and load.
IMPORTANT: Do not alter the maximum driving speed of the tractor. The
maximum reverse driving speed is 20 km/h.
• Avoid any sudden increase or reduction (braking) in the driving speed.
• Avoid tight turns at high driving speed.
• When driving the tractor with an attached implement which centre of gravity
is far from the tractor, the tractor may sway considerably during cornering.
If care is not taken, the tractor may tip over or the load may be displaced.
1.2.4.4 Driving downhill
Be careful when driving downhill.
• Do not drive with the power shuttle in neutral or the clutch pedal pressed down.
• Do not press the HiShift push button.
• Check the brakes often.
• Change to a lower gear before driving down a steep incline.
IMPORTANT: Do not brake continuously as the brakes may overheat.
IMPORTANT: Do not let the engine overrun to avoid damage to the engine.
NOTE: If the speed is too high, a speed warning is shown on the instrument
panel display and a buzzer goes off.
1.2.4.5 Operating with implements
Read and follow the instructions to avoid unnecessary risks when operating with
implements and attachments.
WARNING: Before entering between the tractor and the implement,
prevent the tractor from moving by applying the parking brake or
blocking the wheels. There is risk of accidents if the tractor or
implement should move.
WARNING: Implements attached to the linkage or the auxiliary
hydraulic system must be lowered to the ground during maintenance.
1.2.4.6 Running with power take-off driven implements or machines
Read and follow the given instructions to use power take-off (PTO) driven
implements and machines safely.
DANGER: Serious accidents may occur due to failure to use the
prescribed safety devices.
