OPERATING THE TRACTOR
B
Creep Speed
Shift the range gear shift lever to
to obtain low
speeds.
This shifting requires clutch operation.
C
Creep speed should be used only when doing one
of the following jobs:
1. Deep rotary-tilling and harrowing
2. Planting
3. Turf application
C
Creep speed can not be used for any of the
followings:
1. Pulling a trailer
2. Front-loader operation
3. Front-blade operation
4. Earth-moving
5. Entering and leaving a field
6. Loading onto and unloading from a truck
To avoid personal injury:
A
When you leave the tractor, be sure to apply the
parking brake and stop the engine.
A
IN APPLYING THE BRAKES:
A
The torque of the wheel axle is extremely
high while creep speed is being used. Be
sure to step down on the clutch pedal
completely before applying the brakes, or
they will not work
A
When starting to operate the tractor, be sure
to release the parking brakes.
Misuse of the brakes may cause damage to
the transmission and is therefore not
acceptable to KUBOTA for coverage under
the warranty.
A
Press the clutch pedal completely down and stop the
tractor's motion before shifting the range gear shift
lever.
B
4WD / Bi-speed Turn Switch
To avoid personal injury:
A
Do not engage the front wheel drive when
traveling at road speed.
A
When driving on icy, wet, or loose surfaces,
make sure the tractor is correctly ballasted to
avoid skidding and loss of steering control.
Operate at reduced speed and engage front
wheel drive.
A
4WD model tractor is equipped with 4 wheel
braking and appropriate care should be taken
during hard braking.
A
An accident may occur if the tractor is
suddenly braked, such as by heavy towed
loads shifting forward or loss of control.
A
The braking characteristics are different
between two and four wheel drive tractor
models. Be aware of the difference and use
carefully.
A
Do not use "Bi-speed Turn" at high speed.
A
"Bi-speed Turn" enables short and fast turns,
therefore, become familiar with its performance
before operating in close or confined areas.
A
Do not use the Bi-speed turn when operating
the front end loader.
When this switch is pressed;
The front wheel drive (4WD) is engaged.
The 4WD indicator comes on when the system is in
4WD mode.
Press the switch again;
The Bi-speed turn system activates.
The indicator within the switch and 4WD indicator and
Bi-speed turn indicator come on when the system is in
Bi-speed turn mode.
Press the switch one more time;
The drive system returns to 2WD mode.
All the indicators go off when the system is in 2WD
mode. (While the brake pedal is stepped on or the
parking brake is applied, however, the 4WD braking
system is working and the 4WD indicator stays on.)
