Two And Four Wheel Drive (A4 Type Only); Operation - Honda H5013 Owner's Manual

4. Two and Four Wheel Drive (A4 Type only)
Two and four wheel drive can be selected by operating the two-and four-
wheel drive select lever.
Prior to shifting, set the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position, br-
ing the tractor to a complete stop and depress the clutch pedal fully.
NOTE: If difficulty ,is encountered in shifting the lever, re-engage the
gears by driving the tractor a short distance in FORWARD with the clutch
engaged. In 4-wheel drive, the front wheels will operate with a greater
traction when rouding corners, causing the lawn to be stripped off the
ground by the wheels.
We recommend that you select the two wheel drive and the four wheel
drive according to the terrain and conditions.
2-WHEEL DRIVE . . . . . . . . Mowing and transport (when extra traction is not
required).
4-WHEEL DRIVE . . . . . . . Towing, Operation on slope or soft ground,
Operation with attachment installed (Especially
when powerful driving force and braking force are
required).
IMPORTANT NOTICE
l
To prevent damage to the transmission mechanism, bring the tractor to
a full stop before operating the shift lever.
l
Driving in 4-WHEEL DRIVE range or with the differential locked on pav-
ed surface could cause premature wear on the tires, it could also impair
fuel economy.
l
When driving in four wheel drive, you have 4-wheel braking. When
shifted into two wheel drive you have 2-wheel braking (rear only).
