OPERATING THE TRACTOR
FRONT SUSPENSION
(if equipped)
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
The front suspension control system is
working when the engine is running. In the
AUTO mode, the control system will subtly
change the machine's height at startup or as
weight changes when implements are
attached. These subtle movements can be
unexpected. Before starting it, make sure the
area near the machine is clear of all persons
and objects.
B
Outline
The front suspension system works to absorb shocks and
vibrations that can be caused by field surface conditions,
road surface conditions, and changes in weight caused by
implements. Different implements can change the way a
tractor carries weight and that weight is also changed
when driving in the field or driving on the road. The front
suspension system provides the operator with a smoother
ride, improved tractor stability, and higher productivity.
The front suspension control system has two control
switches that allow the operator to adjust the suspension
system to operating conditions. Those switches are the
Auto/Block mode selection switch and the Suspension
manual control switch. The operator can quickly adjust the
suspension system to changing conditions with a touch of
the switches.
B
Front Suspension Mode
Choose the front suspension status from the following
modes.
(1) Auto mode:
The front suspension functions in the entire speed range
of the tractor.
This mode is recommended for general work.
(2) Block mode:
Under 40 km/h (25 mph) or so, the suspension cylinder is
retracted and fixed at its lowest position.
When the tractor speed rises above 40 km/h (25 mph),
this mode is automatically switched to the Auto mode.
This mode is recommended for work with a front loader or
similar implements.
(3) Manual mode:
The suspension cylinder can be manually extended and
retracted to readjust the tractor height.
When the tractor speed rises above 2 km/h (1 mph) or so,
this mode is automatically switched to the Auto mode.
This mode is recommended for attaching and detaching
implements, inspecting the tractor, etc.
