4WD indicator may fail to light up or go out
immediately. Just keep on running the tractor, and the
indicator will light up or go out accordingly.
If the indicator fails to come on or off with the tractor at
a stop, turn the steering wheel clockwise and
counterclockwise, and the indicator will light up or go
out accordingly.
A Tires will wear quickly if front wheel drive is engaged
on paved roads.
A Reduce the rear wheels traction before engaging the
front wheel drive lever.
C Front wheel drive is effective for the following
jobs:
1. When greater pulling force is needed, such as working
in a wet field, when pulling a trailer, or when working
with a front-end loader.
2. When working in sandy soil.
3. When working on a hard soil where a rotary tiller might
push the tractor forward.
4. For increased braking at reduced speed.
