revolutions, depress the clutch pedal and then the brake pedal To shorten the braking distance, lower
the engine revolutions quickly, depress the brake pedal and then the clutch pedal just before the engine
stops.
For turning in a confined space the right and left axles can be braked independently by turning to the
left the locking plate interlocking the left and right brake pedals. When traveling at a high speed or on
roads make sure that the right and left brake pedals are interlocked by means of the locking plate.
When starting to travel on roads after one of the brakes has been operated more often than the other,
check the balance of the right and left brakes beforehand. It is also necessary to check brake balance
once a week. If you fail to check the brake balance or to interlock the right and left brake pedals, there
is the most likelihood that an accident will occur.

PARKING BRAKE

When parking, apply the parking brake by locking the main brake pedals in the following manner:
Interlock the right and left brake pedals by the locking plate. Keeping the pedals depressed, lock the
pedals by the parking brake lever, For releasing the lock of the parking brake, depress the brake pedal
further stronger, and push toe parking brake lever forwards.

8-SPEED TRANSMISSION

The gear shift patterns are shown in the diagram below. By combination of the main and sub shift
levers, six forward speeds and two reverse speeds can be obtained.
The first second, and third forward speeds and the first forward reverse speed can be obtained with the
sub shift lever in the LOW position, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth forward speed and second reverse
speed can be obtained with the sub shift lever in the HIGH position.
NOTE: When you ghange the gearshift, lower the engine speed and depress the clutch pedal to
disengage the transmission clutch. After stopping the tractor, shift the gears
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
This device links the right and left wheels in the transmission and rotates them at the same speed to
prevent either wheel from slipping and to increase traction force.

ENGAGING THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK

Before the tractor slips and the speed is lowered, depress the pedal with your right foot and engage the
differential lock. If the differential lock does not engage at the first attempt, repeat the operation more
forcibly. If it still does not engage, lower the engine speed after disengaging the running clutch, repeat
the whole operation as described above.
