GLOW SIGNAL 

The glow signal which indicates the heating state of the glow plug in the combustion chamber is 

installed on the instrument panel.  It is easily seen from the heating condition of the glow signal 

resistance wire.. 

THROTTLE LEVER 

When the throttle lever is pulled fully tward the operator, the engine speed reaches the maximum of 

2,900 rpm. 

The rated speed of the engine model K3B is 2,700 rpm.  The engine speed is not theonly the most 

appropriate one to get the longest service life from your tractor but also the most economicial one.  It is 

best therefore, to run the engine at the rate of 2,700 rpm. 

FOOT THROTTLE 

The foot throttle is installed on the right side of the step.  When the hand throttle lever is in the idling 

position, the engine speed and be controlled freely within the range by depressing the foot pedal.  

NOTE: When the hand throttle is in a high revolution mode, the foot throttle also moves into the 

position for those revs.  When this is done the revolutions cannot be controlled by the foot throttle 

within the range below the revolutions set by the hand throttle lever. 

 

CLUTCH 

Depress the clutch pedal fully to bring the machine to a complete halt when shifting the gear in the 

transmission for changing the machine propelling speed.  For shifting the PTO gears and shifting the 4-

WD gear follow the similar manner.  

Lowering the speed, when the tractor is overloaded, by half engaging the clutch or changing the gear at 

high speed will damage the clutch lining.  De-clutching must be performed completely, in one clean 

quick movement with the engine revolutions lowered as much as possible. 

NOTE: When the tractor is not used, the clutch should be disengaged by depressing the clutch pedal and 

the clutch lever should be hooked so that the clutch linings will not get stuck.

 

BRAKES 

The brake is of internal expansion (drum and shoe) type and is dirt and water proof.  

There are two pedals provided on the right side of the transmission case which are interlocked by a 

locking plate the brake is applied by depressing these pedals.  To stop the tractor, lower the engine
