Controls

Seat

The operator seat can be adjusted for position, tilt and weight of operator. These adjustments are to be done prior to starting the engine.

Adjusting Seat Position

1.Sit on the operator seat.

2.Push the lever (A) towards RH side.

3.Slide seat forward or rearward to desired position.

4.Release Lever to lock seat in position. Ensure that all controls can be accessed easily.

Weight Adjustment

To achieve optimum seat suspension, turn the knob (B) till the weight indicator registers your approximate weight on indicator (C).

Seat Belt

The seat belt is an essential safety feature. To fasten it, pull the belt-end across the lap, and install it in the buckle on the opposite side. A click will be heard when the buckle locks itself. To release the seat belt, press the red button on the buckle. The belt will retract on its own.

Do not use seat belt if operating without a ROPS or with an optional folding ROPS in the folded position.

Attempting to adjust the seat while driving the tractor may cause the operator to lose control of the tractor. Always ensure that the tractor is absolutely stationary while making any adjustment of seat.

Cold Starting Aid

A heater element (D) is provided in engine’s intake manifold. When the Key is turned to “ON” position, the element is activated. Heater indicator indicates the activation. The element continues to heat the air in the intake manifold for 42 seconds. A timer controls this time.

1.Turn the Key to “ON” position and hold it till the heater indicator is put-off.

2.Crank the engine when the heater indicator light is putoff after 42 seconds.

Attempting to adjust the seat while driving the tractor may cause the operator to lose control of the tractor.

Note : It is normal for the engine to be louder and have bluish-white exhaust smoke during engine warm-up. The amount of smoke depends on the temperature of air entering the engine.

Hand Throttle Lever

Use the Hand Throttle Lever (A) to set a constant engine speed for stationary operation or for field operation wherever desired.

Increasing Engine Speed : Pull throttle lever towards the operator.

Decreasing Engine Speed : Push throttle lever away from the operator.

Constant Speed Setting : Certain operations may require a particular engine speed. This can be achieved by resting the Hand Throttle Lever in a position where you get the desired engine speed.

Foot Throttle Operation

When tractor operation requires repeated speed change, use the foot throttle pedal (B) to temporarily increase engine speed above hand throttle setting. We recommend to keep the hand throttle at minimum and use foot throttle when driving on highway a.Set the hand throttle lever at desired rpm. b.Depress foot throttle pedal -to Increase Engine rpm. c.Release foot throttle pedal to decrease Engine rpm to achieve the previous engine speed set by hand throttle lever.

Clutch Operation

Single Stage Clutch (3825)

This pedal is used to engage and disengage the engine clutch.

Depress clutch pedal and stop tractor before shifting either range shift lever or gear shift lever. Release clutch pedal gradually to take up load smoothly.

Dual Clutch (4025 / 4525)

Constant running P.T.O. with dual clutch is offered as a standard feature. This has a speed of 540 rpm @ 2058 engine rpm. It has two clutch plates and two pressure plates which work in two stages of pressing the clutch pedal. When the clutch pedal is depressed to the first stage, the drive of engine to main gear box gets disconnected, while the P.T.O. output shaft (if engaged) will continue to be driven by the engine. When the clutch pedal is depressed further to second stage, the drive to the PTO shaft also gets disconnected.

While changing transmission gears, it is necessary to depress the clutch pedal only up to the first stage. This will not affect the drive to the P.T.O. shaft. If it is required to stop the tractor but keep the P.T.O. running, only depress the clutch pedal through the first stage. This has great advantage while using PTO driven equipment. If an extra load is encountered, the forward movement of the equipment can be halted while still permitting full power to be available at the P.T.O.

To prevent transmission damage, do not use gear / speed shift on-the-go. To prevent unnecessary wear, never “ride” the clutch by resting a foot on the pedal.
