with you tractor you should always
check to see that the path is clear.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1-3
1 1.Never operate this tractor or any other
agricultural equipment while under the
influence of alcohol, drugs, or while
fatigued.
12.While working in cooperation with
other tractors always communicate
your intentions.
13.Do not start your tractor by shorting
across the starter.
196O104A196O103A
14.Never start the engine while standing
on the ground.
15. Only the operator should ride on the
tractor unless a passenger seat is
installed. Keep bystanderds away
from the tractor while in operation.
196O105A
16.All persons using the tractor should
have knowledge of its proper
operation, and should read this manual
carefully.
17.Never get off the tractor without shutting off the tractor, setting the parking brake, and lowering the implement
to the ground.
18.No alterations should be made to your
KIOTI tractor without first consulting
you KIOTI dealer.
1-4 CK20
196O106A
20 . For your safety ROPS with a seat belt
is recommended for most applications.
NOTE
Always use seat belt when the tractor is equipped with a ROPS. Never
use the seat belt when tractor is not
equipped with a ROPS.
(ROPS: Roll-Over Protective Structures)
A ROPS should never be modified by
welding, grinding, or cutting, as this can
weaken the ROPS structure. If any components of the ROPS unit is damaged it
must be replaced.
196O132A
(1) Tread
19.Before starting your tractor you
should disengage the clutch, and insure that all shift levers are in the
neutral position.
If the ROPS unit is removed or loosened
for any reason, the parts should be fitted back to their originals position and all
bolts should be properly torqued.
21.Extra caution should be taken when
driving tractors with narrow tread
widths. For added stability you should
adjust you rear wheel tread width,
see page 12-20.
OPERA TING THE TRACTOR
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1-5
1. Avoid accidental contact with gear
shift levers while the engine is
running. Unexpected tractor movements can result in bodily injury.
196O109A196O108A
2. Do not park your tractor on a steep
incline, and remember to shut off the
engine and P.T.O before dismounting
the tractor.
196O1 10A
3. Do not operate your tractor in an enclosed building without the proper
ventilation. Exhaust fumes can cause
serious injury or death.
1-6 CK20
196O1 11A
(1) Drawbar
4. Make sure that all pressured lines are
tight before starting the tractor.
5. Pull only from the drawbar. Never hitch
anything to the axle housing or any
other point except the drawbar. Such
arrangements only increase the risk
of serious personal injury or death.
6. If the front of the tractor tends to rise
up when heavy implements are attached to the three point hitch, from
weights should be installed on the
tractor. Do not operate the tractor with
a light front end.
196O1 13A196O112A
7. Do not leave equipment in the raised
position when the vehicle is stopped
or unattended.
8. When using implements or attachments
with your tractor you should first read
their respective owner’s manual. You
should always keep their safe operation procedures in mind.
9. You should be familiar with your
equipment and its limitations.
10. Always use the proper ballast weight
on your tractor when using rear
implements.
11.Driving forward out of a ditch or steep
inclines can cause the tractor to tip
over backwards. To avoid this you
should back out of these positions.
Four wheel drive tractors can give
you a false sense of security in the
tractors ability to maneuver out of
these positions, so extra caution
should be taken.
12.You should watch for and avoid obstacles at row ends, near trees, and
around other obstructions.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1-7
196O1 14A
13.If abused or used incorrectly your
tractor can become dangerous to you
and bystanders. Overloading your
tractor or using unsafe equipment can
also be dangerous and should be
avoided. Refer to the “Specifications
of Implement Limitation”, which outlines the maximum load for safe tractor operation.
196O1 15A
14. Never try to get on or off a moving
tractor.
15. When working in groups, always let
the others know what you are going
to do before you do it.
16. Never “freewheel”. Disengaging the
clutch or shifting into neutral while
descending a slope could lead to a
loss of control.
17. Do not operate near ditches, holes,
embankments, or other terrain features which may collapse under the
tractor’s weight. The risk of tractor
upset is even higher when the ground
is loose or wet.

SERVICING THE TRACTOR
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1-11
In order to service your tractor you must
park it on a flat level surface, set the
parking brake, place the gear shift level
in neutral and stop the engine.
1. Allow the tractor time to cool off before
servicing any part that may have become hot while the tractor was running.
2. You must always stop the engine before refueling the tractor. Avoid overfilling the tractor or spilling the fuel.
3. Do not smoke while working around the
battery or when refueling your tractor.
Keep all sparks and flames away for
the battery and fuel tank. The battery
presents an explosive hazard because
it gives off hydrogen and oxygen… especially when recharging.
196O126A196O125A
4. Before jump starting a dead battery,
read and follow all of the instructions.
5. Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher
handy at all times.
196O127A
6. Do not remove the radiator cap while
the coolant is hot. When cool, slowly
rotate the cap to the first stop and allow sufficient time for excess pressure to escape. After all the pressure
is released remove the cap completely.
If your tractor is equipped with a coolant recovery tank, add coolant there
instead of to the radiator.

196O130A196O129A196O128A
(1) Cardboard (3) Magnifying Glass
(2) Hydraulic Line
7. When working with your tractors electrical components you must first disconnect the battery cables.
8. To ensure that there are no accidents
from sparks you must first disconnect
the negative battery cable.
9. Tire mounting should be done by qualified professionals, with the proper
equipment.
10.Maintaining correct tire pressure is important for the life of your tires. You
should not inflate the tires above the
recommended pressure specified in
the owner’s manual.
11. Securely support the tractor when
changing wheels or the wheel tread
width.
12. Make sure that wheel bolts have been
tightened to the specified torque.
13. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure has sufficient force to penetrate
skin, causing serious personal injury.
Before disconnecting hydraulic lines,
be sure to release all residual pressure.
Before apping pressure to the hydraulic system, make sure that all
connections are tight and that all line,
pipes, and hoses are free of damage.
196O131A
14. Fluid escaping from pinholes may be
invisible. Do not use hands to search
for suspected leaks;
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1-13
Use a piece of cardbord or wood,
instead. Use of safety goggles or
other eye protection is also highly
recommended. If injured by escaping fluid, see a medical doctor at
once. This fluid can produce gangrene or severe allergic reaction.
