engaged the vehicle may operate in 4-wheel drive within normal parameters,
however 4-wheel drive should not be used at high speeds or on hard surfaces where
there is plenty of traction. If ignition is turned off 4-wheel drive will disengage.
16. Whilst driving be aware of warning lights and displays. See page 27.
17. Tyre pressures - due to the wide variation in the tyre sizes and types that may be
fitted to the machine, we recommend you obtain the advice of the tyre manufacturer
or his agent in order to identify the correct tyre and pressure to use.
18. Axle loadings - always ensure the wheels and tyres fitted to the machine are suitable
for the load and speed you require. Wheel rims and centres must be capable of
supporting the weight of the machine and any load added. Never run with the wheel
track wider than necessary. Note the maximum wheel track is 80" (2025mm). Check
the intended axle loading/wheel track against the data later in this manual or consult
your local tyre supplier.
NOTE Any wheel track settings wider than specified or the fitting of large diameter
'rowcrop' wheels will reduce the carrying capacity of the axle. Overloading will
cause severe damage to the axle and/or hubs.
WHEN USING LARGE DIAMETER WHEELS (i.e. 340/85 R46) THE MAXIMUM SPEED OF
THE MACHINE MUST BE KEPT WITHIN 25 MPH (40 KPH). IT IS DANGEROUS TO
EXCEED THIS SPEED AND COULD INCUR DAMAGE TO THE BRAKE DISCS.
THE MAXIMUM LOAD MUST NOT EXCEED VALUES ON THE CHART OF PAGE 107.
WHEN USING LARGE DIAMETER OR EXTRA WIDE WHEELS AND LARGE ROWCROP
WHEELS THE AXLE LOADING MAY NEED TO BE REDUCED (SEE NOTE).
WHEN STOPPING THE ENGINE AND PARKING THE VEHICLE - REGARDLESS
OF A PRE-SELECTED GEAR, IT IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE TO
ACTUATE THE PARK BRAKE AT ALL TIMES
19. To turn vehicle off bring the vehicle to a stationary position. Engage the handbrake and
engage neutral on the drive selector. Ensure the Road Mode is engaged.
20. Allow the engine to run at low idle for 3 to 5 minutes before shutting down, then turn
ignition key ANTI-clockwise to STOP the engine. Remove the ignition key.
The engine is equipped with an electronic control module (ECM) to enable it to power
down allow a minimum of 100 seconds between turning the ignition switch off before
disconnecting the continuous (un-switched) battery power supply.
CAUTION
DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE WITHOUT THE BATTERIES CONNECTED.
Failure to follow the correct shutdown procedure may
result in damage to the turbocharger and shorten its life.
