OPERATING THE TRACTOR 22
B
Range Gear Shift Lever (L-M-H)
The range gear shift can only be shifted when tractor is
completely stopped.
Do not force the range gear shift lever.
A
If it is difficult to shift the range shift lever into neutral
position;
(1) Depress the brake pedal firmly for several
seconds.
(2) Without reducing the brake pedal force, shift the
range shift lever.
A If it is difficult to shift the range shift lever into "L", "M"
or "H" from neutral position;
(1) Slightly depress the speed control pedal to rotate
the gears inside of transmission.
(2) Release the speed control pedal to neutral
position.
(3) Shift the range shift lever.

To avoid damage of transmission, stop tractor before
shifting between ranges.
B
Front Wheel Drive Lever
To avoid personal injury:
A
Do not engage the front wheel drive when
traveling at road speed.
A
When driving on icy, wet or loose surfaces,
make sure the tractor is correctly ballasted to
avoid skidding and loss of steering control.
Operate at reduced speed and engage front
wheel drive.
A
An accident may occur if the tractor is
suddenly braked, such as by heavy towed
loads shifting forward or loss of control.
A
The braking characteristics are different
between two and four wheel drive. Be aware of
the difference and use carefully.
Use the lever to engage the front wheels with the tractor
stopped. Shift the lever to "ON" to engage the front wheel
drive.
A
To avoid damage of transmission, when front wheel
drive lever is not smoothly shifted, slightly step forward
or rearward on speed control pedal.
A Tires will wear quickly if front wheel drive is engaged
on paved roads.
C
Front wheel drive is effective for the following
jobs:
1. When greater pulling force is needed, such as working
in a wet field, when pulling a trailer, or when working
with a front-end loader.
2. When working in sandy soil.
3. When working on a hard soil where a rotary tiller might
push the tractor forward.
4. Additional braking at reduced speeds.
5. Selecting the Travel Speed.
