Stopping The Tractor; Stopping The Engine - Belarus 1221B.2 Operator's Manual

BELARUS-1221.2/1221В.2/1221.3
Working brakes
When driving on the road at transport
speed, both brakes pedals must be
locked together with a latch.
Steering control
Important! "Belarus"
equipped with hydrostatic steering sys-
tem. If the engine is stopped, an oil
pump, which is put in action by the en-
gine crankshaft, no longer feeds the
hydrostatic steering system. As a result
it automatically proceeds to a manual
mode which requires more effort to
steer the tractor while turning.

Stopping the tractor

To stop the tractor:
• reduce engine crankshaft rpm;
• depress the clutch pedal;
• set the gear shift levers to a neutral
position;
• apply working brakes to stop the trac-
tor;
• apply the parking brake.
INPORTANT! To stop the tractor in an
emergency situation, simultaneously
press the clutch pedal and both inter-
locked brake pedals as quickly as poss-
ible.

Stopping the engine

IMPORTANT! Before stopping the en-
gine, put an implement down to the
ground, and let the engine run at 1000
rpm for about 3...5 minutes. It will allow
decreasing the temperature of the coo-
lant fluid of the engine.
To stop the engine, proceed as follows:
• set the fuel feeding control lever to a
zero position*;

Tractor preparing for operation
• switch PTO off;
• put all distributor handles to a neutral
position;
• pull the implement down to the ground
using an appropriate control handle;
• turn a ground switch off (to avoid sto-
rage batteries discharging).
Power take-off shaft
IMPORTANT! To avoid shock loads on
the PTO, reduce engine speed to approx-
imately 900 rpm when engaging the PTO,
then increase engine speed. Similarly, to
reduce overstressing the tractor PTO
braking bands, reduce PTO rpm at first by
engine speed slowing down before disen-
gaging the PTO. It is particularly important
for implements having a high moment of
inertia. These implements should always
be fitted with a free-running coupling.
There are two interchangeable PTO shaft
tails. When operating with a 6-splined
shaft tail, run the engine at 2037 rpm to
obtain standard PTO speed of 540 rpm.
* To stop the tractor which is equipped with
"MOTORPAL" (Czech Republic) or «YASDA»
(Russia) fuel pump, pull a handle (28а) to
yourself, page Г1.
