OPERATING THE TRACTOR
FRONT SUSPENSION
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
The front suspension control system is
working when the engine is running. In the ON
mode, the LOCK mode or the AUTO LOCK
mode, the control system will subtly change
the machine's height at startup or as weight
changes when implements are attached. These
subtle movements can be unexpected. Before
starting it, make sure the area near the machine
is clear of all persons and objects.
B
Outline
The front suspension system works to absorb shocks and
vibrations that can be caused by field surface conditions,
road surface conditions, and changes in weight caused by
implements. Different implements can change the way a
tractor carries weight and that weight is also changed
when driving in the field or driving on the road. The front
suspension system provides the operator with a smoother
ride, improved tractor stability, and higher productivity.
The front suspension control system has two control
switches that allow the operator to adjust the suspension
system to operating conditions. Those switches are the
Suspension Switch and the Ride Condition Damper
Switch. The operator can quickly adjust the suspension
system to changing conditions with the touch of buttons.
B
Suspension Switch
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
Before using the suspension switch, make sure
the area near the machine is clear of all persons
and objects. The hydraulic pressure in the
suspension cylinders, accumulators or a valve
can cause the tractor and the attached
implement to move unexpectedly.
Using the front suspension switch, the following 3 modes
can be selected: ON, LOCK, and AUTO LOCK. While the
"ON" or "AUTO LOCK" is selected, the suspension
indicator is illuminated. In the "LOCK" mode, the indicator
is not illuminated.
(1) Suspension cylinder
(1) Suspension switch
(A) Suspension "LOCK"
(B) Suspension "ON"
(C) Suspension "AUTO LOCK"
