DRIVING DOWNHILL
Use the engine’s ability to brake when travel-
ing downhill.
Never rely on the brakes only and never travel
downhill with the gears in neutral.
When operating in hilly
terrain the risk of the roll-
over is increased substan-
tially, please drive with
extra care.
When towing trailers in
hilly terrain ensure that
they are equipped with
brakes, use a lower gear
to get maximum engine
braking and do not change
gears on a down hill run
Caution
▶
OPERATION OF THE DIFF
LOCK
While the diff lock is a very useful feature, care
should be taken in its use as misuse can lead to
dangerous situations.
The diff lock would only be used in situations
where traction is lost on one of the rear wheels.
Use low engine revolu-
tions when using the diff
lock.
If the diff lock does not
release after removing the
foot from the pedal use the
left and right brake pedals
in turn to release it.
Do not try to engage or use
the diff lock on tight turns
as serious damage can re-
sult.

CHECK DURING DRIVING
Constantly monitor the warning lights on the
dash and if any comes on stop the tractor to
determine the cause. If the oil pressure light
comes on check the oil level rst of all. If the
oil level is OK ask a qualied dealer to check
the reason for the light coming on.
If the alternator warning light comes on check
all connections and ensure that the fan belt is
not broken.
If all connections and the fan belt are intact
consult your dealer to determine the cause of
the problem.
