Transporting; Directions For Use Of Power Steering; Glide Steer - Kubota GR2000 Operator's Manual

TRANSPORTING
IMPORTANT:
1. Transport the machine on a trailer.
• Fasten the machine to the trailer.
• To prevent the hood from opening by wind while in
transit, it is necessary to either load the machine
forward or use a suitable tie down for the hood.
2. Do not attempt to tow this machine, or damage to the
transmission may result.
.Directions for Use of Power Steering
1. Power steering is activated only while the engine is
running. Slow engine speeds make the steering a little
heavier. While the engine is stopped, the machine
functions in the same manner as machines without
power steering.
2. When the steering wheel is turned all the way to the
stop, the relief valve is activated. Do not hold the
steering wheel in this position for a long period of time.
3. Avoid turning the steering wheel while the machine is
stopped, or tires may wear out sooner.
4. The power steering mechanism makes the steering
easier. Be careful when driving on a road at high
speeds.
OPERATING THE MACHINE 23
.Glide Steer
This machine is equipped with the Glide Steer.
It allows full time front axle drive preventing turf damage .
The rear axle has left and right axle clutches inside and
both clutch arms are connected to the front axle king pin
support with wires.
When driving straight, the rear axle clutches are engaged
and both L & R tires have traction. When turning right or
left, the wires are pulled by the king pin and disengage the
inside rear tire clutch. This will make the front tire and
outside rear tire speed differences small.

If the adjustment is not correct or some malfunction
occurs in the system, rear clutches are engaged all times
and result in larger turn radius or turf damage. In that
case, contact your Kubota dealer for checking.
