Use of 4x4 Front-Wheel Drive (If Equipped)

CQ283694-UN-23DEC09

Use 4X4 front-wheel drive as necessary to obtain better traction.

CAUTION: 4X4 front-wheel drive increases traction significantly, when using this option take particular care on steep ascents and descents. Compared with a 4x2 tractor, a tractor with front-wheel drive maintains uphill traction in the same way, which increases the possibility of roll-over. When traveling over very flat surfaces or surfaces with loose gravel reduce ground speed and ensure that the tractor is correctly ballasted in order to prevent wheel slip and loss of steering control. To obtain better control, engage the 4X4 front-wheel drive (if equipped).

IMPORTANT: To extend tire service life, engage 4X4 front-wheel drive only when necessary. DO NOT USE when driving over very firm surfaces. DO NOT INSTALL chains to front wheels, this could damage tractor. To prevent damage to transmission, DO NOT engage or disengage auxiliary front-wheel drive when in motion.

Step on clutch pedal and stop tractor before engaging or disengaging front-wheel drive. Move lever (A) forwards to engage and backwards to disengage.
