8. OPERATING THE TRACTOR

Ex2900 / 3200 Operator's Manual

1. Before approaching a slope, select a lower gear

setting.

(A) Range shift lever
(a) Shift to a lower speed

2. ALWAYS travel slowly on a slope.
3. Drive the tractor according to the type of a slope, as

instructed below:

Uphill / Downhill

Start slowly. Ensure that the transmission is in a slow
setting. Run the engine at a lower speed.

Steep Downhill

To be able to apply the engine brake, turn the range shift
lever to the lowest speed range.

When backing up a slope, keep the tractor parallel

with the gradient of the slope.

6. About the Power Steering

While the engine is running on the tractor equipped

with the power steering feature, the steering wheel
can turn with a minimum force. NEVER operate the
steering wheel suddenly, especially while traveling
on a paved road. Otherwise, an accident can occur.

The power steering feature is operative only when the
engine is running. Note that when the engine is running at
a lower speed, the steering wheel will need slightly greater
force. This is considered normal operation.

IMPORTANT:
●Fully turning the steering wheel will cause the relief

valve to trip and an audible signal will sound. This
situation may be ignored only for a short duration.
NEVER operate the steering in relief for a prolonged
period.

●Turning the steering wheel while the tractor is not

running can promote damage on the tires and rims.
Avoid such an action whenever possible.
