IMPORTANT :
• Do not operate the tractor under full load
condition until it is sufficiently warmed up.
2. Transmission low temperature
(premium KVT model only)
In order to prevent transmission damage due to poor
lubrication and so on, when the transmission fluid
temperature is approximately -7
℃
(19
℉
) or below,
regulation will take place depending on the fluid
temperature as in the following table. As well, the
operator will be informed during regulation by indicator
and message.
During regulation, perform warm-up operation without
using the accelerator.
When the indicator goes off and the message
disappears, gear shifting is available.

also -7 ℃ (19 ℉ ) or below, the engine low
temperature regulation indicator and
transmission low temperature regulation
indicator will alternately light up.
• If the cooling water temperature is 0 ℃ (32 ℉ ) or
below when transmission low temperature
regulation has been released, the engine low

JUMP STARTING
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes,
sparks and flames away from the battery.
• If the tractor battery is frozen, do not jump start
engine.
• Do not connect the other end of the negative (-)
jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
tractor battery.
• When taking out the dead battery, putting in the
battery or fixing the battery, do not allow the
positive (+) terminal of the battery to touch
other parts.
When jump starting the engine, follow the instructions
below to safely start the engine.
1. Bring the helper vehicle with a battery of the same
voltage as the disabled tractor within easy cable
reach.
IMPORTANT :
• The vehicles must not touch.
2. Engage the parking brakes of both vehicles and put
the shift levers in neutral. Shut both engines off.
3. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.
4. Attach the red clamp to the positive (red, (+) or
positive) terminal of the dead battery and clamp the
other end of the same cable to the positive (red, (+)
or positive) terminal of the helper battery.
5. Clamp the other cable to the negative (black, (-) or
negative) terminal of the helper battery.
6. Clamp the other end to the engine block or frame of
the disabled tractor as far from the dead battery as
possible.
7. Start the helper vehicle and let its engine run for a
