1. Make sure the left and right brake pedals are
interlocked before driving on public roads.
2. Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while
driving on public roads.
3. On public roads, only the driver is allowed to
ride on the tractor.
4. Pay close attention to the condition of the
roadside(shoulders) on public roads. There
have been cause of roadside collapse due to
the weight of the tractor. Special caution must
be taken on rainy days.
5. Be sure to reduce engine speed, or if
n e c e s s a r y, change to “low” speed range when
turning the tractor on sharp curves.
6. Use engine to brake when descending steep
s l o p e s .
7. While driving on public roads, obey all safety
regulations and allow automobiles traveling
faster to pass. Do not block the road.
- Engine braking
When tractor is on a downward slope, pull the hand
throttle rearward and release the foot throttle. Then
the engine speed will drop, which will brake the
t r a c t o r.
When traveling the tractor down on a slope,
never depress the clutch pedal but use the
engine brake to travel down. If necessary to
further reduce the tractor speed, depress
the brake pedal lightly.
- Operation on Farm Roads
1 .Stop operation of any attached farming
implement while driving on farm roads.
2 .The front wheels of the tractor tend to lift when farm
implements are attached to the rear of the tractor.
3. When it is necessary to attach a large-sized or extra
heavy implement to the rear of the tractor, contact
your dealer for selection of an appropriate counter
weight for the front and slow down.
4. While driving the tractor on farm roads, keep in
mind safe driving practices.
NOTE :
• For maximum safety always pay close attention to
the balance between the front and rear wheels of
the tractor.
- Operation in the Field
1. For field work, disconnect the brake pedal interlock
so that the right and left brakes can be engaged so
s e p e r a t e l y.
2. Be careful not to force sudden loads while
operating implement from the power-take-off since
such loads tend to shorten engine life. Always
lower implements slowly.
7.9 Handling the tractor on the farm
•Never pull from the top link, the rear axle any
point above the drawbar. Doing so could
cause the tractor to roll over rearward
causing personal injury.
For pulling, attach to the drawbar(swinging
type). Use the 3-point hitch only with
equipment designed for 3-point hitch usage.
• It is dangerous to travel down a slope by just
depressing the brake pedals while
disengaging the clutch.
