STOPPING THE TRACTOR
1. Slow down the engine.
2. Step on the clutch and brake pedal.
3. Wait for the tractor to stop.
4. Disengage the PTO.
5. Lower the implement to the ground.
6. Shift the transmission to neutral.
7. Release the clutch pedal.
8. Set the handbrake.
CHECK DURING DRIVING
IMPORTANT :
Immediately stop the engine if:
• The engine suddenly slows down or
accelerates.
• Unusual noises are suddenly heard.
• Exhaust fumes suddenly become very dark.
While driving, check the following items to see that the
all parts are functioning normally:
• Engine over-speed limiting indicator on page 178
• Gear shifting warning indicator (
Standard ,
Premium models only) on page 178
• Easy checker
™
on page 179
• Fuel gauge on page 180
• DEF/AdBlue
®
gauge on page 181
• Pneumatic pressure gauge (if equipped) on page
181
• Coolant temperature gauge on page 181
• Tachometer on page 182
1. Engine over-speed limiting
indicator
The engine over-speed limiting indicator informs the
operator of engine over-speed by indicator and warning
buzzer.
If the warning sounds, immediately lower the engine
rpm with brakes and such. When the engine rpm
decreases, the warning will stop.
(1) Engine over speed limiting indicator
NOTE :
• Normal operation will not lead to over-speed,
but, for instance, if suddenly shifting down
when running with a trailer at full speed, the
tractor will be pushed by the trailer and may go
into over-speed.
2. Gear shifting warning indicator
(Standard, Premium models only)
As in the following table, if gear shifting does not
operate as desired, the operator will be informed by
indicator and warning buzzer.
If the warning sounds, immediately stop the tractor and
begin operation again. Upon correct operation, the
warning will stop.
Gear Shifting Measures
When running at high engine
rpm in a low-speed gear, range
gear was shifted to slow-down,
but returned to the original gear
without shifting.
1. Lower the engine rpm and
shift down.
2. Shift down with the power
shift.
Range gear was shifted (rev-up
or slow-down), but returned to
the original gear without shift-
ing.
At high rpm, range gear was
shifted from B to A in the slow-
down direction, but returned to
the original gear without shift-
ing.
Lower the engine rpm and shift
gears again.
When running at D-6 speed
with the creep gear
“ON” , the
gear cannot be shifted to E-1.
Switch the creep gear shift to
“OFF” .
Range gear was shifted to E
with the creep gear
“ON” .
When the engine load is within
a certain range, attempting to
shift the range gear from A to B
or from B to A fails. The range
gear does not shift and then it
returns to the original position.
Disengage the clutch and/or set
the shuttle lever to
“NEUTRAL”
(or press the shuttle neutral
button) and then attempt the
shift gears again.
