Driving downhill
Use the engine’s ability to brake when traveling downhill.
Never rely on the brakes only and never travel downhill with the gears in neutral.
When operating in hilly terrain the risk of the rollover is increased
substantially, please drive with extra care.
When towing trailers in hilly terrain ensure that they are equipped with brakes,
use a lower gear to get maximum engine braking and do not change gears on a
down hill run
Caution
OPERATION OF THE DIFF LOCK
While the diff lock is a very useful feature, care should be taken in its use as misuse can lead to
dangerous situations.
The diff lock would only be used in situations where traction is lost on one of the rear wheels.
Use low engine revolutions when using the diff lock.
If the diff lock does not release after removing the foot from the pedal use the
left and right brake pedals in turn to release it.
Do not try to engage or use the diff lock on tight turns as serious damage can
result.
Warning
CHECK DURING DRIVING
Constantly monitor the warning lights on the dash and if any
comes on stop the tractor to determine the cause.
If the oil pressure light comes on check the oil level first of all.
If the oil level is OK ask a qualified dealer to check the
reason for the light coming on.
If the alternator warning light comes on check all
connections and ensure that the fan belt is not broken.
If all connections and the fan belt are intact consult your
dealer to determine the cause of the problem.
UPHILL STARTS ON A STEEP SLOPE
With the pedals connected together push down on the brake
pedals and push down the clutch.
Set all gear levers to low and the throttle to medium engine speed.
Release the clutch and as it engages release the brake pedals.
Adjust the throttle to the required speed.
