Driving the Tractor
Warming Up
When starting the engine allow it to warm up to operating temperature by allowing it to idle 5-10 minutes to
ensure full lubrication and operating temperature.
Failure to do so can shorten engine life substantially.
Warming Up in Cold Weather
Cold weather changes the viscosity of the oil, resulting in a reduction in the performance of the engine oil
pump, which can cause engine damage if not heated properly.
At the same time, there may be problems with the hydraulic system and synchronization in the transmission.
Warming Up Time
Temperature Time for warming up
Above 50 °F
5~10 min.
50 °F~32 °F
10~20 min.
32 °F~14 °F
20~30 min.
14 °F~-4 °F
30~40 min.
Below -4 °F
Over 40 min.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the parking brake is engaged during warm-up.
Insufficient warm-up may cause problems or shorten the life of the relevant components.
When the engine is warmed up, depress the clutch and move both shift levers into the desired positions.
Depress the brake pedals and release the parking brake.
Increase engine speed and smoothly release clutch for smooth start.
When driving, change gears only with the (main) gear shift lever and always with the clutch pedal fully
depressed.
Caution:
Do not ''ride'' the clutch to control speed, use a lower gear.
Do not travel with your foot on the clutch pedal.
Danger:
Connect the brake pedals together when driving on the road.
Use only suitable hitches for towing.
Do not overload the tractor with an excessive load aggregation that is contrary to the
applicable national legislation. The design braking performance of the brakes must be
maintained.
Take special caution when towing or carrying excessive units and take into account the
dimensions and weight of the unit. Use warning elements according to national legislation.
It is forbidden that another person rides on the unit.
Always observe local regulations and traffic rules.
