ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL

BConstant RPM Management Control
Constant RPM Management can be turned "ON" or "OFF"
by operating the switch. Pressing the switch turns the
control "ON" and pressing the switch again turns it "OFF".
C When constant RPM management is "ON"
Fluctuations in the engine speed due to load fluctuations
are reduced and the travel speed and PTO speed are kept
nearly constant, allowing stable work. When constant
RPM management is "ON", the switch's indicator light up.
C When constant RPM management is "OFF
As in a conventional engine, the engine speed increases
or decreases according to changes in the load. The
operator judges the size of the load from the engine speed
and engine sound, and can adjust the travel speed or
plowing depth to prevent overload on the tractor.

A In a mechanically-controlled engine, the engine speed
changes according to increases and decreases in the
load.
For example, when working in a hilly area, the load
increases and engine speed drops while ascending a
slope, and conversely
descending. These changes in engine speed affect
the travel speed and PTO-driven implements. In order
to minimize these effects, the operator must make fine
adjustments to the travel speed and hand throttle
lever.
When the constant RPM management switch in this
tractor with its electronically controlled engine is
turned "ON", the engine speed will be kept nearly
constant in response to a certain level of load
fluctuations. This improves the accuracy of work
without the need for troublesome manipulation of the
travel speed and hand throttle lever.
the load drops when
OPERATING THE TRACTOR
A There is a limit to the range within which a constant
speed can be maintained. If a load exceeding the
engine performance is applied, the engine speed will
drop.
A The purpose of constant RPM management is not to
increase the engine power.

PARKING

BParking
[F8/R8 model]
To avoid personal injury or death:
BEFORE DISMOUNTING TRACTOR
A ALWAYS SET PARKING BRAKE AND LOWER
ALL IMPLEMENTS TO THE GROUND.
Leaving transmission in gear with the engine
stopped will not prevent the tractor from
accidental rolling.
A STOP THE ENGINE AND REMOVE THE KEY.
1. When parking, be sure to set the parking brake.
To set the parking brake;
(1) Interlock the brake pedals.
(2) Depress the brake pedals.
(3) Latch the brake pedals with the parking brake
lever.
(1) Parking brake lever
A To prevent damage to the parking brake lever, make
sure that brake pedals are fully depressed before
pulling the parking brake lever up.
2. Before getting off the tractor, disengage the PTO,
lower all implements to the ground, place all control
levers in their neutral positions, set the parking brake,
stop the engine and remove the key.
(A) Interlock the brake pedals
(B) "DEPRESS"
(C) "PULL"
