• Before descending a slope, shift to a gear low
enough to control speed without using brakes.
4. Precautions for transporting the
tractor safely
• Carry the tractor on a truck if the tractor is
damaged. Secure the tractor tightly with ropes.
• Follow the instruction as follows when towing the
tractor. Otherwise, powertrain of the tractor may get
damaged.
– Set the all shift levers to their “NEUTRAL”
position.
– If possible, start the engine and select 2WD. If
creep speed is fitted, make sure that creep
speed is disengaged.
– Tow the tractor using its front hitch or drawbar.
– Never tow the tractor faster than the following
speed.

5. Directions for use of the power
steering
• The power steering is activated only while the
engine is running. Slow engine speeds weight the
steering a little. While the engine is stopped, the
tractor functions in the same manner as tractors
without power steering.
• Turning the steering wheel all the way to the stop
activates the relief valve. Do not hold the steering
wheel in the stop for a long period of time.
• Avoid turning the steering wheel while the tractor is
stopped. Otherwise tires may wear out sooner.
• The steering becomes easier due to the power-
steering-mechanism. Be careful when driving on a
road at high speeds.
