1.2.5.4 Controlling the driving speed
Adjust the driving speed to suit the driving surface, visibility and load.
IMPORTANT: Do not alter the maximum driving speed of the tractor. The
maximum reverse driving speed is 20 km/h.
• Avoid any sudden increase or reduction (braking) in the driving speed.
• Avoid tight turns at high driving speed.
WARNING: When driving the tractor with an attached implement with
the centre of gravity far from the tractor, the tractor may sway
considerably during cornering. The tractor may tip over or the load
may be displaced.
1.2.5.5 Driving downhill
Be careful when driving downhill.
•
Check the brakes often while driving downhill.
• Change to a lower gear before driving down a steep decline.
IMPORTANT: Do not brake continuously as the brakes may overheat.
IMPORTANT: Do not let the engine overrun to avoid damage to the engine.
NOTE: If the speed is too high, a speed warning is shown on the instrument
panel display and a buzzer goes off.
IMPORTANT: Engage the HillHold when starting on a slope. Otherwise the
tractor jerks downhill before traction engages even if the driving direction is
uphill.
1.2.5.6 Permitted driving inclinations
To ensure sufficient lubrication for the transmission and engine, it is essential to
follow the maximum driving angles when driving the tractor on a slope.
WARNING: Angles for safe driving should be smaller than stated to
avoid the tractor from tipping over.
