STATIONARY WORKING
When carrying out stationary work, the following instructions
must be respected:
- Apply the handbrake.
- Chock the wheels*.
- Forward/reverse lever (A): Neutral position.
- Gear lever (B): Neutral position.
- Range switch (C): Road (hare) range position.
* In accordance with current legislation, some tractors are equipped with a wheel
shim (E) on the RH rear wing (press on the shim (E) and pull upwards).
TOWING THE TRACTOR
- Place the reverser lever (A) in neutral.
- Disengage the PTO.
- Release the hand brake.
- Place the gear box in neutral using lever (B)
- Place contactor (C) on the hare position to take off the crawl
speed.
Important: Towing the tractor is only to be undertaken
exceptionally, and then only over short distances (less than
1000 metres and 10 km/h). Start the engine to ensure the
transmission is lubricated while it is being moved. If it is to
be transported over a long distance the tractor must be
loaded onto a trailer and tied down.
Important: If the tractor is to be transported on a trailer, all
apertures must be closed and the exhaust outlet at the end
of the silencer blanked off.
Important: Ignoring these instructions can in some
situations cause considerable damage to the gearbox.
