6 4.2 CONTROLS Main Gear Shift Lever & Hi-Lo Gear Shift Lever The main gear shift lever pattern is in the form of an "rh". The hi-io gear shift lever moves two stages, "high" and "low". By combination and use of the main gear shift lever and the hi-io gear shift lever, it is possible to obtain four speeds forward in "high" range and four speeds forward in "low" range, or a total of eight speeds forward; and two speeds reverse, high and low. (CAUTION] To change speed, press the clutch pedal completely down and stop the tractor before attempting to proceed with speed change.

(2) The fixing position of the top-hitch varies according to the type of implement being used.!iii Adjustment of lifting Rod (1) Adjust the position of the implement evenly by moving the lifting rod lever. (2) After the adjustment is completed, secure with the stopper. (3) Correct positioning of the lifting rod to the lower link is shown below. Positioning varies according to the type of implement being used.

26 9.B TRANSMISSION LUBRICATION Bad nozzle Moving parts are overheated due to shortage of lube oil or improper lubrication If necessry, replace with a new nozzle. " Check amount of engine oil with oil level gage. " Check lubricating oil system. " Check to see if element inside the lubricating oil filter (2) has become old and clogged. If necessary, replace with new element. " Check to see if the engine bearing clearances is within factory specs. After the first 50 hours of operation of a new tractor and 300 hours thereafter, exchange oil_ Oil used in the transmission case should have an SAE classification of SAE 80 in all season_ It is easier to exchange oil while the engine is warm. Level check are two types. plug type and gauge type. [CAUTION] When the engine has suddenly stopped, decompress the engine by the decomp and turn the engine lightly by pulling on the fan belt. If the engine turns easily without abnormalities, the cause of the trouble is usually lack of fuel or bad nozzle. When color of exhaust is specially bad Cause Countermeasures Fuel governing device bad Fuel is of extremely poor quality Nozzle is bad Combustion is incomplete * Contact dealer for repairs * Select good quality fuel oil. No.2 diesel only. If necessary replace with new nozzle. " Cause is poor atomization, improper injection timing, etc. because of trouble in injection system or in poor valve adjustment, or compression leakage, poor compression, etc. Check for the cause. When engine must be stopped immediately Cause Countermeasures Speed suddenly " Check the adjustments and timing of decreases or increases injection and the fuel system. Unusual sound is heard" suddenly. Check all moving parts carefully. Color of exhaust suddenly turns dark " Check the fuel injection system, especially the fuel injection nozzle. Beari ng parts are over- * heated Check the lubricating system. Oil lamp lights up during operation * Check lubricating system. " Check to see if the engine bearing clearances is within factory specs. " Check the function of the regulating valve inside of oil filter (2). * Check pressure switch * Check filter base gasket
