1. General Notices for Safety

1-1. Before using the tractor

※ Must read and understand this operator’s manual carefully and
always refer to information and prescriptions outlined in this
manual to prevent all potential health and safety risks.

◆ General information for intended use

z Your tractor is designed and manufactured to pull, to carry, to supply the power a variety of mounted

or towed equipment for agriculture. Do not use the product for other purposes than intended by the
manufacturer and outlined in this manual. Do not use this tractor for light/heavy forestry applications.

z Do not use the product beyond its limits of terrain gradient and stability than outlined in this manual.

Using the tractor beyond these limits may cause a overturning accident.

z Do not use the tractor on higher speeds than allowed by the load of the tractor and road condition.

Always choose a suitable driving speed to maintain the stability of the tractor.

z Do not use the tractor near or on soft verges of canals and brooks or banks and verges that are

undermined by rodents. The tractor may sink sideways and roll-over.

z Do not use the tractor on brittle bridge heads and poor bridge floors. These constructions may

collapse and cause overturning of the tractor. Always check out the condition and carrying
capacity of bridges and ramps prior to engage.

z Do not use the tractor without wearing the seat belt and Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS)

during operations where roll-over or tip-over hazards exist. The ROPS will only be fully effective when
the driver remains attached to his/her seat.

z Do not use equipment mounted on the tractor which is not correctly matching and firmly fixed.

Such equipment may increase the risk for roll-over and hit the tractor when coming loose.

z Do not use the tractor in combination with equipment arbitrary, without having consulted the

specific operator’s manual provided with the equipment. This manual alone cannot provide you

with all the information about safety operation of the combination.

z Do not use the tractor beyond its limits of dynamic stability. High speed, abrupt maneuvers, and

fast and short cornering will increase the risk of roll-over.

z Do not use the tractor for overloaded pulling work, in cases where you don’t know if the load will

yield, for instance when pulling stumps. The tractor may flip over when the stump is not yielding.

z Be extremely cautious when working with the tractor on forage silos without lateral con crete walls.

A wide track setting may improve the lateral stability of the tractor.

z Be cautious that the center of gravity of the tractor may increase when the front-end loader is

loaded or the three-point linkage are raised. In these conditions, the tractor may roll-over earlier than
expected.

z Do not step down from the tractor without shutting down the PTO, shifting the transmission

to neutral and applying the parking brak e.

zNever remove or modify or change the driver’s protection device or safety device arbitrary.

Soil, air and water are essential elements for human life. To contribute to environment
preservation of the Earth, we are trying to minimize the environment pollution necessitated by
general business activity such as product design, manufacturing, distributio n, etc.
Several substances and products derived from chemical and petroche mical prod ucts are major
portion of environment pollution and must be disposed of according to environment laws or
related regulations, and common sense.
We’d like to notify the following items for “Use & Disposal” related to environment preservation.

1. Avoid the overloaded work after reading the operator's manua l.
Overloaded work may reduce the life of the product as well as the unburned exhaust gas
occurred during overload work becomes the major cause of air pollution.

2. When you replace various oils (engine, transmission, anti-freeze solution) directly, do not
throw the exhausted waste oil to any place.
This may pollute the soil and water seriously and also is prohibited legally. If violating, you
would be responsible for that by civil or criminal case. The waste oil must be disposed
according to the environment laws.

3. Use the product according to the operator's manual and if the life of product ended, do not
throw away (or dispose) to any place. The rust water or oil coming from the disposed
product may cause the pollution of soil or water. Thus, the wasted product must be
disposed lawfully, contact your authorized local dealer nearby.

4. Modern lubricants contain additives. Do not burn the disposed oil or fuel in conventional
heating systems.

5. When handling fuel, lubricants oil and coolants, do not left to be absorbed into the ground.
They must be collected and disposed in a suitable manner.

6. Do not adjust the setting of the fuel delivery system. This will alter the emission of
exhaust fumes.

3-3. Hydraulic system

(1) Safety precautions

z Hydraulic oil leaking under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause infection or other injury. To

prevent personal injury, comply with as below.

-. Relieve all pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines.

-. Before applying pressure, make sure all connections are tight and components are in good
condition.

-. Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under pressure.

-. If injured by leaking fluid, get medical attention immediately.

z The hydraulic hoses and fittings on your tractor meet engineering specifications for the particular

function. When replacing damaged parts, use only manufacture authorized service parts.

z Care in hydraulic hose installation is a must:

-. Make sure pressure is relieved before starting installation procedure.

-. DO NOT kink or twist a hose, failure may occur. Properly route the hose.

-. Have a certified hydraulic technician install the hose.

-. Remove air from the hydraulic system after installing any hydraulic component.

z Periodically check hydraulic system for leaks or damaged parts - kinked, crushed, flattened, hard

blistered, heat cracked, charred, twisted, soft or loose covered hoses and fittings.

z DO NOT pull or apply external forces to the hose. The hose may fail and cause injury.
z Keep all persons away from the working area. If a hose fails, mechanisms controlled by fluid power

can become hazardous. Lifted mechanisms can fall to the ground, steering system may fail, etc.

z Stay clear of a pressurized hose assembly that has blown apart. Hose fittings can be thrown off at

high speed and a loose hose can whip around with great force.

z Hydraulic oil can reach high temperatures. Allow fluid to cool before servicing the system.
z Vibration can reduce hose service life. Make sure all retaining clamps and/or devices are secured .
z Environmental conditions can cause hose and fittings to deteriorate. Inspect hydraulic hoses

periodically. Replace worn or damaged hoses and fittings.

Warning

▶Before removing hydraulic pipes or hoses and other parts, make sure to check that

hydraulic pressure is relieved completely. The leaks of pressurized oil can cause a
fatal physical injury.

▶Use proper protection equipments, before servicing hydraulic system.
▶Before connecting or disconnecting the hydraulic quick coupler, lower the

implements to the ground, and check that hydraulic pressure is relieved.

z Before checking or repairing the hydraulic system, make sure the engine is stopped, and all the

transmission gears are in neutral, and lower the implements to the ground.

3 -15

▶If the engine stops, the operation of steering wheel becomes hard to turn and

causes steering not to work. But this does not mean a failure.

▶If you turn the steering wheel while driving, the steering wheel does not return back

automatically.

Notice

(2) Steering system

z The hydraulic steering system controlled by fluid power provides you more convenience to operate

the steering wheel.

z Notices when using the steering system.

1. If there is too much of a load in front loader bucket, it could be difficult to operate the steering wheel.
In this case, reduce the size of the load.

2. After turning the steering wheel fully, do not turn the steering wheel to the same direction again. As
the unnecessary force is applied, this could damage to the steering system. Especially, DO NOT
operate the steering wheel excessively. If the front wheel mired in a ditch. In this case, the rim could
be affected and damaged.

3. If it sounds abnormal when operating the steering wheel, this means that there is some air in the
steering components and line. In this case, turn the steering wheel to the left and right fully and hold
it for about 5 seconds, and the air shall bleed out and the abnormal noise shall disappear. If it’s not
cleared, contact your authorized local dealer for repair.

4. When starting engine in cold weather, an abnormal noise may occur. In this case, warm up the
tractor before using to reduce the oil viscosity.

5. If you use the tractor for a long time while turning the steering wheel fully, the oil temperature will
increase which may cause the reduction of the product life or the failure of hydraulic and steering
system.
