PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
A careful operator is the best opera-
tor. Most accidents can be avoided
by observing certain precautions. To
help prevent accidents, use these
safety precautions, and pay attention
to the job at hand. If you can prevent
an accident, your time will have been
well spent.
5.Keep safety decals clean of dirt
and debris.
6. Watch where you are going at all
times so that you are able to avoid
obstacles that can cause injury or
damage to your tractor.
7.When starting the tractor make
sure your path is clear of people to
avoid accidents caused by sudden
movements.
8. Before making reverse movements
with your tractor, you should al-
ways check to see that the path is
clear.
1.It is recommended that you read
and understand this entire manual
before operation of your new trac-
tor. Failure to do so could result in
accidents or injury.
2.Only persons who are properly
trained should be allowed to oper-
ate the tractor.
3. Read and follow all warning labels
and decals afxed to the tractor.
4. Replace any missing or damaged
decals as soon as it is practical.
A list of decals is shown on page
1-25~27.

16. All persons using the tractor
should have knowledge of its
proper operation and should read
this manual carefully.
17. Never get off the tractor without
setting the parking brake, lower-
ing the implement to the ground
and shutting of the tractor.
18. No alterations should be made to
your KIOTI tractor.
12. Never start the engine while
standing on the ground.
13. Only the operator should ride on
the tractor unless a passenger
seat is installed. Keep bystand-
ers away from the tractor while in
operation.
14. When getting on and off the trac-
tor, handholds and step plates
should always be used. This will
help to prevent accidental slips
trips and falls.
15. Be sure to scrape off mud or soil
from your shoes before mounting
the tractor.
T66O103A T66O104A T66O105A
9. Never operate this tractor or
any other agricultural equipment
while under the inuence of alco-
hol, drugs or while fatigued.
10. While working in cooperation
with other tractors always com-
municate your intentions.

A ROPS and CAB should never be
modied by welding, grinding or cut-
ting, as this can weaken the ROPS
structure. If any components of the
ROPS unit is damaged, it must be
replaced.
If the ROPS unit is removed or loos-
ened for any reason, the parts should
be fitted back to their original posi-
tions and all bolts should be properly
torqued.
21. Extra caution should be taken
when driving tractors with narrow
tread widths.
19. Before starting your tractor you
should depress the clutch and
make sure that all shift levers are
in the neutral position and park-
ing brake is applied.
20. For your safety ROPS with a
seat belt is recommended for all
applications.
(1) Tread
T66O106A T66O107A

Always use seat belt when the
tractor is equipped with a ROPS
and CAB. Never use the seat
belt when tractor is not equipped
with a ROPS. (ROPS: Roll-Over
Protective Structures)

RISK OF OVERTURNING
TG2O103A
For your safety, tractors must be
equipped with original safety belts.
In case of overturning, hold rmly the
steering wheel e DO NOT try to get
off the seat until the tractor has come
to a stop. If the doors are locked,
leave the tractor through the duly in-
dicated emergency exits.
• The safe working practices
listed hereunder concerns
only a few cases of overturn-
ing risk.
• The list is therefore NOT com-
prehensive of all possible
cases.
IMPORTANT

TG2O104A
To avoid side overturning:
• Adjust the wheels to the maximum
possible track width for the type of
work you are doing.
• Lock both brake pedals together
before driving on road.
• Reduce your speed according to
work conditions. If the tractor is
equipped with a front-end loader,
carry the bucket and load as low as
possible.
• Reduce your speed before making
wide turns. DO NOT let the tractor
jump or bounce on rough terrains.
You could lose control.
• DON'T pull a load too heavy for
your tractor. It could run away on the
down slope or the tractor could jack-
knife around a towed load.
• DON'T brake suddenly. Apply
brakes smoothly and gradually.
• When going down a slope use the
throttle to slow the tractor engine
and use the same gear you would
use to up the slope. Shift into gear
before you start downhill.
• Engage four-wheel drive (if
equipped); this will give greater sta-
bility.
•NEVER disengage the clutch
or attempt to shift gear after
you have started downhill.
WARNING
• Always go up and down slopes
following a straight upward or down-
ward line.
• Do not put any overloads on a front
implement or atrailer. Use suitable
counter-weights to keep the tractor
stable.
• NEVER use your tractor to round
up farm animals.

TG2O106A
• When operating near ditches and
banks, always keep your tractor
behind the shear line. Avoid ditch-
es, embankments and river-banks
which might cave in.
TG2O107A
• If you need cross a steep slope,
do not steer uphill, but slow down
and take a wide turn. Always drive
straight up or down a slope, nev-
er across it. When travelling up or
down a slope, keep the heavy end
of the tractor and the implement
pointed uphill.
TG2O108A
• When driving across a slope with
mounted implements, keep such im-
plements on the uphill side. Do not
raise implements. Keep them as low
and near to the ground as possible.

1. Avoid accidental contact with gear
shift levers while the engine is run-
ning. Unexpected tractor move-
ments can result in bodily injury.
2. Do not park your tractor on a steep
incline, and remember to shut off
the engine and P.T.O before dis-
mounting the tractor.

• Avoid crossing steep slopes if pos-
sible. If you must do so, avoid any
holes or depressions on the down-
hill side. Avoid any stumps, rocks,
bumps or raised areas on the uphill
side.
