OPERATION
OPERATING HYDRAULIC MANIFOLD BLOCK
The hydraulic Manifold Block is provided to supply
hydraulic oil to equipment such as a front loader,
dozer blade, etc. Location of the Block is shown in
Figure 32
Figure 32 - Hydraulic Manifold Block
To operate auxiliary equipment, remove the plugs
from the manifold block and connect the feed hose
to the outlet port, Figure 32 and the return hose to
the inlet port.
IMPORTANT: In order to operate auxiliary
equipment, the control screw must be turned to the
position at (2). With a front remote valve installed,
it is not required to turn the control screw to the
position shown at (1) to operate the three point
linkage. When it is required to operate the three
point linkage only, the screw must be turned to the
position shown at (1).
DRIVING THE TRACTOR
WARNING: Observe the following
precautions when driving the tractor.
• Watch where you are going - especially at row
ends, on roads, and around trees.
• Keep the tractor in gear when going down hill.
Use a low gear to maintain control with mm
mum braking.
• If the tractor is stuck, back out to prevent
upsetting the unit.
• Always use the drawbar for pull-type work. Do
not pull from any other part of the tractor
since it may tip backward.
• Keep the lights adjusted so they do not blind
the operator of an oncoming vehicle.
• Engage the clutch slowly when driving out of
a ditch, gully, or up a steep hillside.
Disengage the clutch promptly should the
front wheels rise off the ground.
• Reduce speed before turning quickly or
applying brakes. Lock the brake pedals
together when travelling at high speeds.
Brake both wheels simultaneously when
making an emergency stop.
• Never apply the differential lock when turning.
• Use extreme caution and avoid hard
applications of the tractor brakes when pulling
heavy towed loads at road speeds
• Any towed vehicle whose total weight
exceeds that of the towing tractor must be
equipped with brakes for safe operation.
• Always sit in the driver’s seat while starting or
driving the tractor.
• Always use a slow moving vehicle (SMV)
emblem and turn on flasher lights when
travelling on public roads.
• Always check overhead clearance, especially
when transporting the tractor.
IMPORTANT: Also, when attaching close-
mounted equipment to the tractor, remove the
swinging drawbar. When transporting on the
highway, it is recommended that a safety chain with
tensile strength equal to the gross weight of the
implement be connected between the tractor and
the towed implement. This will control the
implement in the event the hitch pin is lost.
