3. Precautions for operating the
tractor on slopes and rough terrain
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Always back the tractor up when the tractor is
going up a steep slope. Driving forward could
cause the tractor to tip over backward. Stay off
hills and slopes too steep for safe operation of
the tractor.
• Avoid changing gears when the tractor is
climbing or descending a slope.
• If operating the tractor on a slope, never
disengage the clutch or shift lever to neutral.
Disengaging the clutch or shift lever to neutral
could cause loss of control.
• Do not drive the tractor close to the edges of
ditches or banks which may collapse under the
weight of the tractor, especially when the
ground is loose or wet.
• Be sure that the wheel tread is adjusted to provide
the maximum stability.
(See WHEEL ADJUSTMENT on page 97)
• Slow down for slopes, rough ground, and sharp
turns, especially when transporting heavy, rear
mounted equipment.
• Before descending a slope, shift to a gear low
enough to control speed without using brakes.
4. Precautions for transporting the
tractor safely
• Carry the tractor on a truck if the tractor is
damaged. Secure the tractor tightly with ropes.
• Follow the instruction as follows when towing the
tractor. Otherwise, powertrain of the tractor may get
damaged.
– Set the all shift levers to their “NEUTRAL”
position.
– If possible, start the engine and select 2WD. If
creep speed is fitted, make sure that creep
speed is disengaged.
– Tow the tractor using its front hitch or drawbar.
– Never tow the tractor faster than the following
speed.
Towing speed
10 km/h
(6.2 mph)
5. Directions for use of the power
steering
• The power steering is activated only while the
engine is running. Slow engine speeds weight the
steering a little. While the engine is stopped, the
tractor functions in the same manner as tractors
without power steering.
• Turning the steering wheel all the way to the stop
activates the relief valve. Do not hold the steering
wheel in the stop for a long period of time.
• Avoid turning the steering wheel while the tractor is
stopped. Otherwise tires may wear out sooner.
• The steering becomes easier due to the power-
steering-mechanism. Be careful when driving on a
road at high speeds.
