8. OPERATING THE TRACTOR
Ex2900 / 3200 Operator's Manual
●Before approaching a slope, select an appropriate
speed setting. NEVER shift on a slope. Otherwise,
the tractor may suddenly go downhill and go out of
control. Be sure to travel at a lower speed on a
slope.
●On a slope, NEVER move the range shift lever to the
NEUTRAL position.
●On a slope, NEVER step on the clutch pedal.
Otherwise, the tractor may suddenly go downhill
and go out of control.
●Suddenly starting the tractor on an 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 slowly
start the tractor in motion.
●NEVER park the tractor on a slope. If parking on a
slope is unavoidable, chock the tires, engage the
parking brake securely.
●On a slope, the tractor is unstable and more prone
to tip-over, possibly leading to severe injury or even
death. Remain very cautious when your tractor is on
any slope.
●To avoid tip over, move backward on a steep slope.
If backing on the slope is not comfortable, do not
attempt to continue. Avoid an extremely steep
slope.
●When exiting a ditch, deep mud or traveling on a
steep slope, the risk of the tractor roll-over is high.
In four-wheel drive mode, special caution is needed.
●Slowly move on any slope. NEVER change speed or
direction quickly.
●When climbing or descending a slope, NEVER
disengage the clutch or shift the gears. Disengaging
the clutch or shifting the gears to NEUTRAL
position can cause the tractor to lose control.
●To keep the tractor stable on a slope, ALWAYS
select the widest possible tread. Observe the
instructions for proper ballasting. (For details, see
the “12. TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST”)
