8-65 Periodic Maintenance and Adjustment
● If the throttle is applied too abruptly, the front wheels may lift off the ground resulting
in a loss of steering control.
● Avoid higher speeds until you are thoroughly familiar with the operation of your
TRACTOR.
● When slowing down or stopping, release the throttle and apply the brakes smoothly
and evenly.
● Improper use of the brakes can cause the tires to lose traction, reducing control and
increasing the possibility of an accident.
1CAUTION:
Do not shift from low gear “L” to high “H” “N” “R” or any other shift maneuver without
first coming to a complete stop. This could damage the engine or drive train.
Turning your TRACTOR
To achieve maximum traction while riding off-road in 2WD or 4WD, the two rear wheels
turn together at the same speed. Furthermore, when riding in 4WD-LOCK (“DIFF.
LOCK”), all four tires rotate at the same speed. Therefore, unless the wheel on the
inside of the turn is allowed to slip or lose some traction, the TRACTOR will resist
turning. A special turning technique must be used to allow the TRACTOR to make
turns quickly and easily. It is essential that this skill be mastered first at low speeds.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Turning improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The TRACTOR could go out of control,
causing a collision or rolling over.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for turning
as described in this Owner’s Manual.
Practice turning at low speeds below 25 km/h
before attempting to turn at faster speeds.
Do not turn at speeds too fast for your skills
or the surface conditions.
