(3) 2-4 WS Selector Switch
While the lamp is on, the selected steering state is
indicated. Move the selector switch to the opposite side
to switch the steering state. While the selector is being
switched, the lamp will blink and the buzzer will sound.
Caution
Strictly adhere to the instructions below when
operating the 4WS selector switch in order to
prevent collision, fall or tip-over.
1. When operating the switch, be sure to park the
machine on a flat ground first. Operating the
switch while traveling may distract the driver,
causing a collision or tip-over.
2. Set the steering wheel in the straight forward
position before operating the switch.
3. If the switch is operated with the tires not set
in the straight forward position, the lamp will
blink and the buzzer will sound while the 2WS
and 4WS switches are being toggled. When
the switch is being toggled, do not travel, but
set the tires in the straight forward position,
and confirm that the lamp turns on and the
buzzer stops.
4. Use 2WS while traveling.
5. If you operate the steering wheel as if the 2WS
switch is selected after it is switched to 4WS,
it is dangerous as a greater than anticipated
change in the posture may occur. Before
starting to move or travel, confirm the steering
state selected.
2WS: The machine can travel in a stable condition at
high speed, etc. This makes it easier to pull the vehicle
over to the side.
4WS: This steers the rear wheels, making it possible to
make tight turns.
(4) Differential Lock Pedal
The differential lock device allows the front and rear
tires on the left and right to be driven at the same
speed. This is useful in preventing slips. The differential
lock is actuated when the differential lock pedal is
depressed, and cancelled when the pedal is released.
Use this function in the following situations:
[1] The wheels on one side slip when going up/down
an agricultural road or going over a furrow and the
machine cannot move straight.
[2] The machine gets into an area of soft ground in the
field and encounters difficulty traveling due to
slipping wheels.
Caution
⚫
Before actuating the differential lock, be sure
to adjust the steering wheel to the
straight-moving position. Also remember not
to turn while the differential lock is actuated.
The machine may not turn in the intended
direction.
Caution
⚫
Be sure to cancel the differential lock before
turning. If the machine is turned forcibly with
the differential lock on, the drivetrain may be
damaged.
