For towing, be sure to use the drawbar only. Set the
hitch point below the center line of the rear axle. When
using a chain, never try to move forward abruptly. When
using a long chain or cable to hitch the tractor to the
load, drive the tractor forward slowly until all slack is
taken out.
When towing or running on a steep downward slope, be
sure to apply the engine brake to keep safety speed.
Never run by inertia (coasting) with main shift lever
placed "NEUTRAL' position or the clutch disengaged.
C-6 Using
Attachment
To mount or operate attachments, follow the instruction
manual for the particular attachment for safe operation.
Avoid operating the tractor on an extreme slope that
appears hazardous, when forced to operate on such
slope, use extra care.
Driving forward out of a ditch or mired condition or up a
steep slope could cause tractor to tip over rear-ward.
Back out of such situation if possible. If the situation
does not permit you to back out, use the front wheel
weight or the chassis weight for balancing the tractor
lengthwise.
Also in case any extra heavy rear mounting
attachment is used, try to obtain better balance in this
manner.
When backing down a slope in reverse gear or going up
the grade in forward gear, never operate the clutch,
brake, throttle lever or steering wheel abruptly. Be par-
ticularly careful on slippery roads.
In any case of towing (by use of a rope or by hanging up
the front), be sure to place the both main shift lever and
sub shift lever at "NEUTRAL' position so long as the rear
wheels are on the ground.
*
These shift levers shall not be placed at any other
speed range.
When starting the engine by towing the tractor with a bat-
tery as discharged, be sure to place the main shift lever
at
the 3rd speed step and the sub shift lever at the high
speed step, then operate the clutch slowly.
*
Never place the sub shift lever at the low speed step.
When towing the tractor, be sure to keep the safety
speed.
It is advisable to operate at 10 km/h or less in towing the
tractor under 20 HP
and at 15 km/h or less in towing the
tractor over 20 HP.
When using agricultural chemicals with an attachment
on the tractor, always follow the Instructions in the man-
ual for the attachment as well as the Instructions provid-
ed by the chemical manufacturer.
C-7 Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS)
We strongly recommend a ROPS (Roll Over Protective
Structure) install to your tractor. It must not be removed
even temporarily. It must not be folded when travelling. It
is not recommended to utilize additional elements to per-
form drilling, welding or reinforcement on the construc-
tion, this procedure will weaken the construction. If any
damage is observed on the construction, it must be
repaired at a technical service or replaced.
Exercise good care in seat belt Installation as regard belt
strength and the bucket, which must not be broken off or
disconnected.
For further details, ask your authorized technical service.
