4 -10
(6) Parking
 Stop the tractor on a level surface, not on a slope.
 Disengage PTO and place all the transmission
shift lever in NEUTRAL position.
 Lower the mounted implements on the ground.
 Apply the parking brake.
 Stop engine and remove ignition key.
 Before you leave the operator’s station, wait for
engine and all moving parts to stop.
 Apply wheel chocks to the wheels when parking
the tractor on a slope unavoidably.
 In case of the power shuttle version, to engage the low gear after the engine is stopped is
NOT useful for engine brake. When parking the tractor on a hill, be sure to apply the parking
brake and wheel chocks to the wheel.
Turbocharger
(7) Handling Turbocharger
(if fitted)
 The turbine of the turbocharger is a highly
precise part that rotates at high speed.
 Before accelerating or working the tractor fitted
with the turbocharger, allow the engine to idle at
1000 rpm for about 1 minute to ensure that the
turbocharger is correctly lubricated.
 Before stopping engine fitted with the
turbocharger, allow the engine to idle at 1000
rpm for about 2 minutes. This allows the
turbocharger and manifold to cool, preventing
deformation of the components.
▶If it is necessary to park your tractor on a slope, furthermore with a loaded trailer,
the tractor may roll down, even though the parking brake is applied. In this case,
apply the gear in low speed and apply wheel chocks or blocks to the all tires.
