8. Traveling on the slope
WARNING
 Do not change speeds on the slope. Travel slowly
on the slope. Use the engine brake on down-slope.
 Do not travel on the slope with the reverser lever,
the main shift lever or the range shift lever set in the
N position.
 Do not depress the clutch on the slope; it causes a
great danger as the tractor may glide down.
 To start on an up-slope, use a low gearshift and set
off at low speed. Abrupt start will jump up the front
wheel.
 Before leaving the tractor, stop the engine, set the
parking brake and block the wheels.
 Shift should be changed after reaching a highest
point on the slope. To stop on the slope, lock the
parking brake lever.
9. Power steering
CAUTION
The steering wheel is easily rotated when the tractor is
running.
Pay a special attention in operating the steering wheel
when traveling on the road. Power steering is effective
only while the engine is running. The steering wheel will
be slightly heavier at a low engine speed.
IMPORTANT
 Turning hard the steering wheel will cause the relief
valve to sound a blowing sound. Do not operate the
tractor with this sound continuously for an extended
period. It damages the hydraulic components.
 Do not operate the steering wheel while the tractor is
stationary except for an unavoidable case.
Otherwise the tires or rims are damaged.
