6.2 Clearing the cruise control
The cruise control can be cleared in any of the
following actions:
• Step fully on both the brake pedals.
• Press the cruise button.
• Set the shuttle lever to neutral.
NOTE :
• The memory value will not be deleted whichever
method you use to clear cruise control. Even if
you turn the key switch off, the memory value
remains.
• Press the cruise button again while running,
and the cruise control turns on. The machine
can be run at the pre-set travelling speed.
• Even during cruising, the foot throttle can be
used to speed up. Release the pedal, and the
previous cruise speed is resumed.
• When the cruise control is activated in the state
as which speed is not memorized, the tractor
will stay at creep speed (approximately 0.5
km/h / 0.3 mph).
• To activate the cruise control while driving, the
tractor speed requires more than 10% of pre-set
speed.
For example, if the pre-set speed is 40 km/h
(24.9 mph), more than 4 km/h (2.5 mph) driving
speed is required to activate the cruise control.
7. Ratio lock button
If a large trailer or the like is being towed and the foot
throttle is suddenly released to stop the machine on a
steep decline, a sudden transmission shift-down slows
down the tractor abruptly. As a result, the tractor is
pushed by the reaction force of the trailer. In some
cases, the tractor may go temporarily out of control.
To prevent such unexpected situations, take the
following steps. Press the ratio lock button and get the
gear shift locked before releasing your foot from the
foot throttle. Then slow down the machine to some
extent only with the engine brake.
Afterward, release the ratio lock button and step on the
brake pedal to stop.

8. Limp home switch
If the transmission has trouble, press this switch, and
the tractor can be moved for an emergency escape.
1. Press the (F) or (R) switch to enter limp home
mode.
2. In travelling stop status, press the (F) or (R) switch
to move at a fixed speed while the switch is held
down. The speed will also increase if you step on
the foot throttle while travelling.
3. When switching travelling directions, press the (F)
or (R) switch after coming to a complete stop.
4. Step on the clutch pedal to stop.
NOTE :
• Depending on trouble spots, the tractor may fail
to run as expected.
• Park it in a safe place and immediately contact
your local KUBOTA Dealer.

turn the key switch off to leave limp home
mode.
