Creeper Control
Set the stable idling rotational speed of
the engine; the GB lever shall be in the
neutral position.
The creeper is controlled by means of
the rods (1) and (2).
In the “Creeper disengaged” position,
the rod (1) is lifted while the rod (2) is
depressed. In the “Creeper engaged”
position, the rod (1) is depressed while
the rod (2) is lifted.
The engagement of the creeper is per-
formed in two stages:
- To engage the creeper, set the mini-
mum stable rotational speed of the en-
gine. Move the rod (1) downwards hav-
ing depressed smoothly the clutch
pedal;
- Move the rod (2) (at longer distance
from the operator) upwards having de-
pressed the clutch pedal again.
To start the movement, it is necessary to
shift in the necessary gear and release
smoothly the clutch pedal.
Engaging the creeper does not cause
the change of the tractor movement di-
rection.
The gears of the first forward range and
reverse range shall be shifted with the
clutch pedal depressed and with short
(20…30 s) delay of the gear disen-
gagement.
Operation Rules
Prior to operation of the tractor with
creeper, check the oil level in the trans-
mission. The oil level shall not be below
the upper control hole of the oil level
gauge scale. If necessary, add oil.
ATTENTION! To avoid breakdowns in
the transmission and overheating of oil,
the tractor with creeper shall be only op-
erated in the gears of the first range of
forward and reverse motion of the gear-
box.
The permissible oil temperature is not
more than 100°C. After every 250 run-
ning hours of the tractor with creeper,
check the oil level in the transmission,
absence of leakages and tightness of
threaded connections.
When operating the tractor at normal
speed conditions, the creeper shall be
obligatorily disconnected from the gear-
box (the left rod being at longer distance
from the operator is depressed).
Should it be planned to use the trac-
tor at normal speed condition, the
creeper shall be removed from the trac-
tor to avoid the premature wear of the
parts.
