44 OPERATING THE TRACTOR
C Bi-speed turn use is effective for the following
jobs:
1. Turning at the end of rows. (planting, cultivating,
harrowing.)
2. Increasing maneuverability when working in tight
spaces.
A Tires will wear quickly if the front wheel drive is
engaged on paved roads.
8. Accelerate the Engine.
BHand Throttle Lever
Pulling the throttle lever back decreases engine speed,
and pushing it forward increases engine speed.
BFoot Throttle
Use the foot throttle when traveling on the road. Press
down on it for higher speed. The foot throttle is interlocked
with the hand throttle lever; when using the foot throttle,
keep the hand throttle lever in low idling position.

CHECK DURING DRIVING

BEngine Over-speed Limiting Indicator
The Engine Overspeed Limiting Indicator informs the
operator of engine overspeed by indicator and warning
buzzer.
If the warning sounds, immediately lower engine rpm with
brakes, etc. When the engine rpm decreases, the warning
will stop.

(1) Engine over-speed limiting indicator

A Normal operation will not lead to overspeed, but, for
instance, if suddenly shifting down when running with
a trailer at full speed, the tractor will be pushed by the
trailer and may go into overspeed.
BImmediately Stop the Engine if:
A The engine suddenly slows down or accelerates,
A Unusual noises are suddenly heard,
A Exhaust fumes suddenly become very dark,
