9. Before starting any work on electrical
equipment or work that may cause you
to touch the electrical parts accidentally,
rst disconnect the battery cables. Never
remove the rubber cap cover at the
positive terminal of the battery cable
end. Before connecting the battery to
the charger, make sure that the charger
switch is in "OFF" position.
Be sure to connect the charger to the
correct terminals on the battery (positive
to positive, negative to negative).
A great amount of hydrogen gas is
generated by the battery when it is being
charged. Take precautions against re: Do
not have any exposed flame in the area
where you are working.
Be sure not to cause any leakage of the
electrolyte, since it will corrode the skin or
clothing. In case of accident as described
below, immediately seek rst aid, and see
a doctor immediately for proper treatment.
a) If the diluted sulphuric acid from the
battery has gotten into the eyes:
Clean the eyes with a lot of clean running
water for more than 15 minutes, while
opening the eyes widely, and see a doctor
immediately for proper treatment.
d) If the diluted sulphric acid is spilled: Wash
away with a lot of water or neutralize with
slacked lime or bicarbonate of soda.
10. Stop the engine and make sure the PTO
shift lever is in Neutral before performing
any of the following services, including.
a) Removal of the propeller shaft between
PTO and any attachment.
b) Adjustment of PTO drive train and hitch.
c) Adjustment or cleaning of PTO driven
attachment.
11.The steering wheel always wheel always
has built-in play to some extent, which is
required for smooth meshing of sector
gear and pinion gear.
Always inspect the amount of the play. Do
not operate the tractor if there is too much
or too little play in the steering.
b) If the diluted sulphuric acid from the
battery has been swallowed: Rinse the
mouth with clean water immediately,
and see a doctor immediately for proper
treatment.

C. OPERATION OF THE TRACTOR
Before driving the tractor, follow these rules:
1. Before starting and Driving the Tractor
Operate the tractor only when seated
properly in operator’s seat and keep a
rm grip on the steering wheel at all times.
Never attempt to perform any operation
of the tractor from anywhere else, on or
off the tractor. Always wear a "hard hat"
when operating the tractor.
2. Starting and Driving the Tractor
Always operate the tractor at the proper
speeds which enable you to keep the
tractor in complete control.
To start traveling, lower the engine speed
and release the clutch pedal slowly.
Before leaving the tractor, stop the
engine, remove the key, apply the parking
brake and make sure that the engine
has come to a complete stop, and any
attachment is completely touching the
ground.
SAFETY/DECALS
5
Slow down when operating the tractor on
rough round.
Never attempt to jump on or off from
moving tractor.
When starting the engine in an enclosed
area or building, ensure proper ventilation
by opening the doors and/or windows to
prevent carbon monoxide inhalation.
Mount the extension exhaust pipe on the
tractor which has a cabin.
When starting the tractor, operating any
attachment or engaging the PTO make
sure that no one is in the way, especially
children.

3. Traveling on Roads and Streets
For traveling on roads and streets, be
sure to lock both brake pedals together
before driving to prevent either brake from
acting independently.
Never operate the differential lock while
driving at high speed or traveling on the
road. For driving the 4-WD tractor on the
road, be sure to place the 4-WD shift
lever in OFF position.
4. Steering and Turning the Tractor
Slow down your tractor and disengage
the differential lock before going into
a turn, being careful to prevent any
attachments mounted on the front or rear
from hitting anyone or anything.
5. Towing and Operating on Hills
For towing work on downward slope,
place the shift lever in low speed and use
engine brake.
Never try to reduce the speed with brake
only.
Towing a heavy object on a hill is highly
hazardous. Widen the tread of the tractor
and mount the wheel weight or chassis
weight to increase the stability and
operate with extra precaution.
SAFETY/DECALS
7
When operating the tractor on either a
steep slope or at ground, be sure not to
suddenly steer, brake, clutch or operate
attachments.
Do not operate the tractor at the edge of
cliff or slope. Be particularly careful right
after the rain when soil is soft and may
give way easily.
Avoid operating the tractor on an extreme
slope that appears hazardous, when
forced to operate on such slope, use
extra care. Driving forward out of a ditch
or mired condition or up a steep slope
could cause tractor to tip over rearward.
Back out of such situation does not
permit you back out, use the front wheel
weight or the chassis weight for balancing
the tractor lengthwise. Also in case any
extra-heavy rear mounting. Attachments
is used, try to obtain better balance in this
manner.
C-6. Using Attachment
To mount or operate attachment, follow
the instruction manual for the particular
attachment for safe operation.
For towing, be sure to use the drawbar
only. Set the hitch point below the center
line of the rear axle. When using a chain,
never try to move forward abruptly.
When using agricultural chemicals with
an attachment on the tractor, always
follow the instructions in the manual for
the attachment as well as the instructions
provided by the chemical manufacturer.
