IMPORTANT ISSUES
:
1.
When the engine is in idle, step on the clutch pedal to disengage the clutch. This will help you to avoid
damaging gears in the gearbox.
2.
Always step on the clutch before shifting any of the gear shift levers.
3.
Never shift into reverse until the tractor is at rest, to avoid damage to the gears.
4.
When the tractor is running, never place your hand on the gear shift lever. Pressure on the gear shift fork is
felt in the gear box and can result in premature wear of the gears.
2.9 Differential Lock Operation
If the tractor should become stuck or should one rear drive wheel
slip, you can lock in the differential and connect the right and left
drive shafts Step on main clutch pedal, and shift the high/low shift
lever into the low range.
1.
Move the throttle control lever to the high speed position.
2.
Step on the differential pedal.
3.
Release the clutch pedal smoothly for stable operation.
4.
After getting unstuck or stopping the skid, the differential lock will
automatically release.
IMPORTANT ISSUES:
Never use the differential lock when driving the tractor normally as this can cause
damage to components and accelerate tire wear.
2.10 Front Axle Drive Operation
The NorTrac 70XTC series of 4-wheel drive tractors can be
used for normal operations in the field and on wet and soft soil.
If only rear wheel drive is used, the traction may be insufficient.
When this happens, connecting the front drive axle will increase
the traction of the tractor and reduce slippage. In order to
connect and disconnect the front axle drive, the following
operation sequence should be followed:
