Mitsubishi MT160D Instruction Book

For towing, be su re to use the drawbar only. Set the
hitch point below the center line of the rear axle. When
using a chain, never try to move forward abruptly.
When using a long chain or cable to hitch the tractor to
the load, drive-the tractor forward slowly until all slack
is taken out.
Avoid operating the tractor on an extreme slope that
appears hazardous, when forced to operate on such
slope, use extra care.
Driving forward out of a ditch or mired condition or
up a steep slope could cause tractor to tip over rear·
ward. Back out of such situation if possible. If the
situation does not permit you to back out, use the
front wheel weight or the chassis weight for balancing
the tractor lengthwise. Also in case any extra-heavy
rear mounting attachment is used, try to obtain better
balance in this manner.
When backing down a slope in reverse gear or going up
the grade in forward gear, never operate the clutch,
brake, th rottle lever or steering wheel abruptly. Be
particularly careful on slippery roads.
A In any case of towing (by use of a rope or by hanging
up the front), be sure to place the both main shift lever
and sub shift lever at "NEUTRAL" position 50 long as
the rear wheels are on the ground.
* These shift levers shall not be placed at any other
speed range.
A When starting the engine by towing the tractor with a
battery as discharged, be sure to place the main shift
lever at the 3rd speed step and the sub shift lever at the
high speed step, then operate the clutch slowly.
/). * Never place the sub shift lever at the low speed step.
~ When towing the tractor, be sure to keep the safety
speed. It is advisable to operate at 10 km/h (6.3 mph)
or less in towing the tractor under 20 HP and at
20 km/h (12.4 mph) or less in towing the tractor over
20 HP.
A When towing or running on a steep downward slope, be
sure
to apply the engine brake to keep safety speed.
Never run by inertia (coasting) with main shift
lever placed "NEUTRAL" position or the clutch
disengaged.
C-6 Using
Attachment
To mount or operate attachments, follow the instruc-
tion manual for the particular attachment for safe
