Front Wheel Drive (FWD) lever - Cab

NOTICE: When driving on public roads, disengage the Front Wheel Drive (FWD). If the FWD is not disengaged, there
may be damage caused to the tires and transmission drive line and could also cause a serious accident.
After working in the field, disengage the FWD before exiting the field. While driving the tractor at high speed while the
FWD is engaged, sharp steering may cause a serious accident. Only operate the FWD lever by hand. Using your
foot to stand on it, may cause a mechanical failure.
NOTICE: Before operating the FWD lever, press down the clutch pedal, brake pedals, and stop the tractor completely.
The handle (1) controls the Front-Wheel Drive (FWD). The handle is located on the left-hand side of operator's plat-
form.
Pull the handle upward to engage the FWD.
Use FWD when:
• Additional traction is required while operating on loose soil
• In wet, slippery conditions.
• On slopes.
• In case of working in sandy soil.
• To increase traction in wet land.
NOTICE: For normal operation on firm soil, level hard surfaces, or when operating the unit at high speeds, disengage
the front-wheel drive to maximize tire and drive-line life and to economize on fuel.
Mechanical transmission model
To engage the front-wheel drive on mechanical transmission model tractors, stop the tractor completely, depress the
clutch pedal, and push the handle (1) completely downwards. To disengage the front-wheel drive, stop the tractor
completely and pull the handle upwards.
