2.10 Stopping the Tractor and Engine Shutoff Procedures
1.
Throttle down to decrease the engine speed.
2.
Step on the clutch pedal, then the brake pedal and engage the parking brake. When the tractor stops moving, put
the gearshift in neutral. The auxiliary shift lever (high/low gear range selector) and the shuttle shift lever
(forward and reverse) can be left where they are.
3.
Release the clutch and brake pedals.
4.
Pull the fuel shut-off cable knob, which stops the fuel pump from supplying fuel to the engine.
5.
Turn the starting switch key to the OFF position and shut down all power to the tractor. The engine will stop.

Tire Usage and Assembly/Disassembly
2.11.1 Tire
Use
•
The tires are important parts of the tractor. Attention should be paid to their use and maintenance in order to
prolong tire service life.
•
All of the tires have specified load values. An overload will deform the tire. The sidewall will bend excessively,
and possibly rupture. The fabric of the tire body, as well as the cushion layer, also deforms easily. The fabric
layer will become loose until the tire ruptures. This is especially true when the road surface is uneven or
impacted by obstacles.
•
The inflation pressure of the tires must conform to the specifications. Service life is affected when the tire
pressure is too high or too low. If the pressure is too low, the tire will have excessive wear, and service life will
be limited. Both inner and outer tires will wear more rapidly when pressure is low. When pressure is low,
steering will be adversely affected. If the air pressure on the front tires is too low, steering will be difficult. If tire
pressure is too high, the tire body fabric will be stretched excessively and more apt to rupture. The wear on the
tire surface will be accelerated. The tractor vibration will be increased. During field operations, the air pressure
of the tire should be appropriately lower than when running on the road. Tire pressure is best checked under
normal temperatures. Checking a tire when it is hot can result in an incorrect measurement. When driving the
tractor, avoid jumping over obstacles at high speed, sudden braking or quick turning. When driving on gravel
surfaces tire slippage should be avoided, when possible.
•
During use, the tires should be kept clean of any oil, acid, alkaline chemicals or corrosives. Keep the tires out of
bright sunshine and excessive heat as much as possible, in order to avoid rubber aging and degrading.
