Driving On A Slope; Driving In And Out Of Fields; Setting Adequate Speed - Yanmar EF312T Operator's Manual

6. Driving on a slope

WARNING
1) Select a correct speed before approaching a slope.
Never change shift levers on a slope. Tractor may
coast down unintentionally.
2) Never travel on the slope with reverser lever, main
shift lever or range shift lever set in "N" position.
3) Never depress the clutch pedal on a slope. Tractor
may coast down unintentionally and it may cause an
accident.
4) To start on an up-slope, shift gears to low speed and
engage clutch slowly and carefully. Abrupt start will
jump up the front wheel.
5) Do not park tractor on a slope as much as possible.
If it is required, apply parking brake and put wheel
block to avoid from coasting down.
(1) Select slow speed before going into a slop.
(2) Travel slowly on a slope.
(3) Apply engine brake on a down-slope.
7. Driving in and out of a field
WARNING
1) Be sure to connect left and right brake pedals with
connector. One-sided brake results in causing a
roll over.
2) In case field ridge is high, use a gangplank with
sufficient strength. Lower an implement and go
through ridge in slow speed.
3) If a way to field is steep slop, go up with a reverse
gear.

8. Setting adequate speed

8 forward speeds and 8 reverse speeds are available
by the combination of main, range and reverser shift
levers. Select adequate speed for works.
