INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the World of Yanmar Tractor
Thank you for purchasing Yanmar tractor product that has been designed and
manufactured based on the Yanmar state-of-the-art technology and rich
expertise in developing and manufacturing products.
Handle the tractor correctly by following the instructions in the Operator's Manual
so that the tractor will provide long years of reliable and predictable service.
The Operator's Manual constitutes an indispensable part of the Yanmar tractor
product. Always keep the Operator's Manual readily accessible.
Carefully study the Operator's Manual to get familiar with the instructions and
informations contained in the Operator's Manual. The instructions and
informations are helpful in using the tractor correctly and safely, avoiding
personal injury and other accidents during operation and servicing of the tr actor.
When using any implement together with the tractor, also carefully study the
Operator's Manual of the implement so that the operator can use the implement
safely, correctly and efficiently.
The Operator's Manual is organized with sections arranged in a particular order
so that the operator can better understand the safety messages and the controls
on the tractor to help the operator operate the tractor correctly and safely. The
Operator's Manual will also help the operator answer questions about operation
and servicing.
The tractor shown in the Operator's Manual may somewhat differ from the actual
tractor. The Operator's Manual will still assist the operator in understanding the
instructions associated with the tractor. Before delivery of the tractor, your
Yanmar Tractor dealer has performed a pre-delivery check to ensure that the
tractor can long remain problem free.
To help assist the operator in operating the tractor, various easy to understand pictographs have been created
and are used throughout the Operator's Manual. The pictographs are listed below together with the
corresponding meanings.

operating the tractor.
12.Make sure that the brakes and other mechanical
components are properly adjusted and do not
have excessive wear.
• Immediately replace all excessively worn out or
damaged components.
• At regular intervals, check that all nuts, bolts and
screws are properly tightened.
(For details, see "Chapter 13. MAINTENANCE"
on page 13-1).
13.Always keep the tractor clean. Dust, grease or
grass clippings accumulated on the tractor can
lead to fire accidents or personal injury.
14.Use the handholds and running board step when
getting on and off the tractor to help prevent
accidental falls. Keep the running board step
clear of mud and debris.
15.Only use the implements that satisfy the
requirements in the Operator's Manual or are
approved by your Yanmar tractor dealer. (For
details, see "Chapter 4. IMPLEMENT
CAPACITIES" on page 4-1).
16.When using front, mid- or rear mounted
implements, install an appropriate weight/s to the
front or rear of the tractor to prevent up setting the
tractor. When using the mid-implement, the
operator may use front and rear weights. If the
operator choose to use the loader, mount an
implement or weight to the 3-point hitch in order
to stabilize the tractor. Observe the instructions
about safety in the Operator’s Manual for the
implement to be used.
17.Remember that a narrower tire tread width can
lead to greater possibility of upsetting the balance
of the tractor. To positively stabilize the tractor,
select a maximum possible tire tread width
appropriate for the intended application. (For
details, see "Change the Tire Tread Width" on
page 12-3).
18.Do not under any circumstances modify the
tractor. Modification can deteriorate the
performance and/or safety of the tractor, possibly
leading to personal injury or property damage.
19.Do not attempt to adjust the low or high idle
speed limit screw. Adjusting the low or high idle
speed limit screw may impair the safety and
performance of the tractor and shorten the life of
the tractor.
4.Safe Practices for Operating the Tractor
1. Start the Tractor
1. Remain seated in the operator seat when starting
the engine or actuating the levers or controls. Do
not start the engine or operate controls while
standing beside the tractor.
2. Before starting the engine, ensure that all the
levers are in the N (neutral) positions, the parking
brake is engaged securely, and Power Take Off
(PTO) switch is in the OFF position.
3. Always keep the retractable seatbelt fastened
around the operator’s waist whenever the Roll-

interlock circuit and the tractor may begin to
move and/or the Power Take Off (PTO) shafts
may begin to rotate, possibly leading to personal
injury or property damage.
6. Avoid running or idling the engine in a confined
area that is poorly ventilated or not ventilated at
all. The engine emits carbon monoxide gas that is
colorless, odorless and can cause death.
7. Before operation, check that all the safety
features are functioning correctly. Never tam per
with safety devices. Check the proper operation
regularly. Contact YOUR LOCAL YANMAR
TRACTOR DEALER for safety devices
malfunction.
8. Avoid accidental contact with control pedals while
the engine is running, as this can cause
unexpected movement of the tractor.
9. Always attend to the running tractor.
2. Work with the Tractor
1. Tow an implement only with the drawbar. Avoid
hitching via the axle housing. The tractor ca n
upset its balance, leading to serious injury or
death. Make sure the drawbar pin is locked in
place.
2. Any towed vehicle with the total weight exceeding
that of the tractor should be equipped with its own
braking system that is operational from the tractor
operator seat.
3. Make sure that all the covers and guards are in
position. Replace any missing or damaged
covers immediately.
4. Before turning or during traveling on a rough
terrain, or before stopping, decrease the tractor
speed in order to prevent upsetting.
5. Use extra caution during operating over rough
ground, when crossing ditches or operating on
slopes and when turning corners.
6. Avoid turning with the differential lock engaged.
Attempting to turn the tractor while the differential
lock is engaged can lead to a roll over.
7. Stay clear of ditches, potholes, embankments or
ponds. The incident of upsetting the tractor can
occur more on soft or wet ground. Before
entering an area covered with tall grass, inspect
the area to detect any obstacles.
8. The operator should always pay attention for
blind corners, trees and other object that can
obstruct the operator's vision. The operator
should always remain alert when approaching the
row of trees or any obstacle.
9. When two or more people are working in one
area, always keep in good communication
between each other.
10.Do not under any circumstances get on or off the
moving tractor.
11.When driving at night, ensure that all necessary
lights are illuminated.
12.When driving, do not shift the range gear. Always
shift the range gear when the tractor is
completely stopped.
3. Stop the Tractor
The procedures of stopping the tractor are as
follows:
1. Make sure that the left side brake pedal and the
right side brake pedal are connected with the
brake pedal connector lock.
2. Reduce the engine speed.
3. Depress the clutch pedal completely to
disengage the clutch.
4. Depress the brake pedals to stop the tractor.
5. Move the primary gear to the N (neutral) position.
4. Considerations for Safety of a Child
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert
to the presence of a child. A child is often attracte d to
the tractor. A child does not understand the dangers.
Never assume a child will remain where the operator
last saw the child.
1. Keep a child out of the operating area and under
the watchful care of an adult other than the
operator.
1-5
Lx410/450/490 Operator's Manual
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A2019005
! WARNING
2. Be alert if a child enters the work area, stop the
tractor immediately.
3. Never allow a child to ride on the tractor. The
child can fall off and be seriously injured or
interfere with safe tractor operation.
4. Never allow a child under 16 years old to operate
the tractor. A child, 16 years old and under should
only operate the tractor under close parental
supervision and proper instruction.
5.Operate the Tractor on Slopes
On a slope, the tractor is less stable and more pr one
to tip over, possibly leading to serious injury or dea th.
Remain very cautious while the tractor is on any
slope.
5. Be extremely careful when backing the tractor.
Before and during backing, look back and
downward. A child may be in the path.
6. Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees or other objects that may obscure
the operator’s vision of a child or other hazard.
7. Never allow a child to play on the tractor or
implement.
8. Keep a child away from hot or running engine.
The child may suffer burns.
to avoid false confidence in the tractor’s ability to
climb slopes.
● To improve stability on a slope, select the widest
possible tire tread width. Observe the instructions
for appropriate weighting.
DO NOT:
● Keep away from drop-offs, ditches or
embankments during mowing. The mower could
suddenly turn over if a wheel goes over the edge
of a cliff, ditch or if an edge caves in.
DO:
● Operate up and down slopes, not across.
● Remove obstacles such as rocks, limbs, etc.
● Watch for potholes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terra in
can overturn the tractor. Tall grass can hide such
obstacles.
● Place the transmission in the low range when
climbing or descending slopes. Always keep the
tractor in gear when going down slopes to take
advantage of engine braking action.
● Keep all movement on the slopes slow and
gradual. Do not make sudden changes in spee d or
direction. Rapid engagement or braking can ca use
the front of the tractor to lift and rapidly tip over
backwards which can cause serious injury.
● Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, push down Power Take Off (PTO) switch
to OFF position and proceed slowly straight down
the slope.
● To avoid upset, move backward up a steep slope.
If backing on the slope is difficult, do not attempt to
continue. Avoid an extremely steep slope.
● When moving forward to get out from a d itch, deep
mud or when traveling on a steep slope, the risk of
the tractor upsetting backward is high. Always
move backward to get out from these situations. In
the 4-wheel drive mode, special caution is needed
Lx410/450/490 Operator's Manual
● Before approaching a slope, select an
appropriate speed setting. Make sure to run
the tractor at a lower speed on slopes. Never
attempt to shift gears on a slope. The tractor
can suddenly go downhill out of control.
Avoid increasing and decreasing the tractor
speed rapidly.
● Do not move the range gear lever in the N
(neutral) position when on a slope.
● When climbing or descending a slope, do not
shift the range gear lever. Shifting the range
gear lever into the N (neutral) position can
result in loss of control of the tractor.
● Starting the tractor with the front end uphill
can cause the front wheels to jump off the
ground and this situation poses an extreme
danger. To avoid this problem, run the engine
at a lower speed, and gently start the tractor.
● Avoid parking the tractor on a slope. If
parking on a slope is unavoidable, chock all
the tires safely and securely and engage the
parking brake securely, for details, see "6.
Lock and Set the Parking Brake" on page 7-4.
● Avoid depressing the clutch pedal when
operating on a slope.

components, wait until the tractor has fully cooled
down.
9. Prior to “jump starting” a tractor that has fully
depleted battery, read and follow all the
instructions in “Chapter 15. SERVICE THE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM” on page 15-1.
10.Add coolant or water to the reserve tank, not to
the radiator (For details, see “Check the Cooling
System” on page 14-14).
11.Before working on or around electrical
components, disconnect the negative (–) battery
terminal first.
12.To prevent a spark occurring from short circ uit,
disconnect the negative (–) battery terminal first
and reconnect last.
3. Use extreme care in handling diesel fuels. Diesel
fuels are extremely flammable and the vapors are
explosive. Use only a container approved by the
local effective law.
4. Make sure to shut off the engine before refueling.
After refueling, replace fuel filler cap securely and
wipe off any spilled diesel fuel before starting the
engine as the diesel fuel may cause a fire or
explosion.
5. Do not smoke while refueling. Keep any spark or
open flame away from the fuel tank.
6. Never refuel the tractor indoors because diesel
fuel vapors will accumulate in the area.
7. Never store the fuel container or tractor indoor
where there is an open flame or spark, such as a
gas water heater, space heater or furnace.
8. Do not smoke while working around the battery.
Keep any sparks or open flame away from the
