1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

3. Precautions Before Operating The Tractor

1. Understand the performance and limitations of the tractor. Carefully study the Operator’s Manual and learn the instructions in the Operator's Manual before operating or servicing the tractor. Keep the Operator’s Manual in an easily accessible place.

2. Strictly follow the statements given in the DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION safety decals attached to the tractor.

3. Do not operate the tractor with the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) in the folded "down" position. Keep the retractable seatbelt fastened while operating the tractor with the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) in the unfolded "up" position. The preceding practice will reduce the possibility of injury or death in the event of roll over accident. If the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) has been removed for any reason, ensure to install all the associated parts before operating the tractor. Do not alter the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS). The altered Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) may fail to provide the designed protection. Replace the damaged Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) immediately. Contact YOUR LOCAL YANMAR TRACTOR DEALER for technical assistance. The foldable Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) may be temporarily folded down when absolutely necessary for areas with height limitations. Remember that when the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) is in the "down" position, the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) does not provide operator protection and the retractable seatbelt should not be worn. For operator safety, always keep the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) in the unfolded "up" position and locked securely. NEVER alter or repair the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS). Welding, bending, drilling, grinding, or cutting may weaken the Roll-Over

Protective Structure (ROPS). Contact YOUR LOCAL YANMAR TRACTOR DEALER for technical assistance.

4. Always fasten the retractable seatbelt while operating the tractor with the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) in the unfolded "up" position. Check the retractable seatbelt for any damage. Replace the damaged retractable seatbelt immediately. Contact YOUR LOCAL YANMAR TRACTOR DEALER for technical assistance. Do not use the retractable seatbelt if the RollOver Protective Structure (ROPS) is in the folded "down" position or the tractor does not have the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS).

5. Check overhead clearance carefully before driving under power lines, wires, bridges or low hanging tree branches, before entering or leaving buildings, or in any other situation where the operator and/or Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) may be struck, which could result in serious injury.

6. Make sure that the usual operator and any other person who will operate the tractor studies the Operator’s Manual before operation. Know the controls and how to stop the tractor quickly.

7. Make sure that any person or obstacle is not under or around the tractor before and during operation. Make sure to maintain sufficient overhead clearance above the tractor.

8. Do not operate the tractor and/or implement installed on the tractor while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medicine or controlled substance/s or when not fit to operate the tractor.

9. During operation and when performing service work:

• Wear close-fitting clothing.

• Do not wear loose-fitting clothes, jewelry, baggy or torn clothing.

Lx410/450/490 Operator's Manual

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• When any of the preceding items is caught by a moving part of the tractor, an accident can happen.

• Do not wear cut-off pants or shorts which do not provide protection against flying debris.

• Do not under any circumstances operate the tractor with bare feet.

• Do not wear sandals or sneakers.

• Wear additional protection including non-slip safety boots or shoes, protective goggles and gloves, etc., as appropriate or required by applicable local laws and regulations.

• Wear ear protection in a noisy environment to prevent hearing damage and to reduce operator fatigue.

10.Avoid allowing passenger/s on any portion of the tractor.

11.Always remain seated in the operator seat while 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.

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.

8. OPERATE THE TRACTOR

1. Operate a New Tractor

The service life of the tractor is determined by how well the tractor is operated and maintained.

Prior to delivery, the tractor has been fully tested to ensure that the tractor is operating normally. The manner the tractor is operated during the brea king-in period greatly affects the effective life of the tractor.

To bring about optimal tractor performance and to achieve the longest tractor life, various parts of the tractor have to be properly broken-in.

The following practices must be observed.

● Operate the tractor at low speeds for the first 50 operating hours.

● Avoid heavy operations and loads.

● Strictly observe the following instructions

explained below.

■ Change the lubricating oil for the new tractor

The quality of the lubricating oil in any new tractor is very important. Parts not fully broken-in may not yet perfectly fit with each other.

Small metal shavings can be created during operation of a new tractor. The shavings can lead to premature wear or damage to tractor parts.

Yanmar recommends changing the lubricating oil earlier than the standard oil change schedule.

For the recommended oil change schedule, for details, see "Chapter 13. MAINTENANCE" on page 13-1.

■ Always run the tractor at less than full speed during the first 50 hours of operation

● Always start and brake the tractor slowly.

● In cold weather, always fully warm up the engine

before operating the tractor.

● Avoid under any circumstances running the engine at a speed higher than needed.

● On rough roads or terrains, drive at low speeds.

NOTE

● The preceding practices should also be adopted for all tractors regardless of age to prevent premature tractor breakages and accidents.

■ Select the Front Tire Rolling Direction

Avoid injury!

● Wheels are heavy or difficult to handle during removal.

● Be very careful when attempting to remove wheels from the tractor.

● Use a safe lifting device with a capacity of more than 3 tons.

● Securely support the tractor with rigid stands or jack stands with a capacity of more than 3 tons.

● Make sure to chock all the tires safely and securely which are still in contact with the ground.

● The preceding procedure prevents the tractor from rolling.

● Directional type tires, such as bar tires, have directional arrows on the sidewall.

● Install the tires with the directional arrows pointing in the rolling direction.

● If the tractor is mostly used for loader operations, periodically reverse the tread pattern direction.

• the preceding procedure increases the tire life and improves traction when reversing from dirt piles

IMPORTANT

● For maximum forward traction, always ensure that the arrows on the tire sidewall point in the rolling direction.

NOTE

● The tire tread width is measured from centerline to centerline of each tire.

Interchange the wheels located on both sides of the tractor.

3. Remove/Install the Wheels

Avoid injury!

● Wheels are heavy or difficult to handle during removal.

● Be very careful when attempting to remove wheels from the tractor.

● Use a safe lifting device with a capacity of more than 3 tons.

● Securely support the tractor with rigid stands or jack stands with a capacity of more than 3 tons.

● Make sure to chock all the tires safely and securely which are still in contact with the ground.

● The preceding procedure prevents the tractor from rolling.

4. Weights (Option)

IMPORTANT

● Find and read the maximum load information embossed into the sidewall of each tire.

● Make sure that tires are not subjected to loads that exceed the information.

● If the maximum weight shown on the chart is not enough to ensure safety, reduce the load or use higher tire ply rating.

● Remove the weights from the tractor when no longer needed.

● Always avoid adding weight when performing continuous and full power operations at a speed of above 4.4 mph (7 km/h).

● The preceding practice:

• prevents excessive soil compaction

• prevents resistance to wheel rotation

• extends the drive train life

Avoid injury!

● If there is a danger that the tractor becomes unstable when implement is used, add weight on the tractor.

● The preceding precaution is particularly necessary when an implement is raised.

● Always drive slowly over rough terrain, regardless of how much weight is used.

● Implement and tractor components are heavy.

● Always use proper lifting devices with a capacity of more than 3 tons.

● Always have assistance from another person when installing or removing any implement.

● Exercise the preceding caution while installing or removing components of the tractor.
