UWHEN ANOTHER PERSON OPERATES
YOUR MACHINE
When another person operates your machine,
you must explain how to operate and instruct
him or her to read this manual fully to avoid
unexpected accidents.
UBEFORE OPERATION
(1) Set up an operation plan with suf ficient time
allowance. A tight plan may result in unexpected
accidents in hurry when work has to be rushed.
(2) Inspect and service the machine periodically in
accordance with the instructions given in the
operation manual to maintain the machine in
best condition.
Pay special attention to the controls, especially
to the brakes and clutch, and safety measures for
the machine when servicing it. If the machine
functions properly and performs normally , the
chance of an accident will be reduced greatly.
If safety devices are damaged or do not work,
please consult your ISEKI dealer.
(3) Before removing a safety device, such as a safe-
ty cover, be sure that the machine has stopped
completely. Never forget to replace the removed
part after servicing.
(4) Never inject fuel while the engine is running or
is still hot. Keep away from open fires and never
smoke around a fuel tank or while fuelling the
machine. Never use open flames for illumination
when fuelling the machine at night.

SAFETY
9
USTARTING ENGINE AND MOVING TRAC-
TOR
(1) Before starting the engine indoors, make sure
that there is proper ventilation because exhaust
fumes contain poisonous carbon monoxide,
which cause lethal poisoning.
(2) Before starting the machine, confirm that the
transmission gear has been shifted to the appro-
priate speed, that there is no one near the
machine, and that the implement is securely
installed on the machine.
Always operate the machine from the operator's
seat. Never leave the seat except in an emer -
gency when operating the machine.
(3) Before starting to move, pay attention to safety
conditions around the machine to avoid injury to
bystanders or damage to property . Never move
abruptly.
UWHEN TRAVELLING
(1) When you travel on roads, latch the brake pedals
together by using the interlocking plate, or the
tractor may turn over by one wheel locking.
(Mechanical transmission)
(2) When you travel on roads, ensure the differential
lock is off, or the tractor may turn over.
(3) Do not make sharp turns when operating at high
speed or for transportation, as the tractor may
turn over.
(4) When operating on poor footing such as a rough
road, a slope, a road along a ditch or river , or
undeveloped land, drive the tractor at low speeds
and operate it carefully.
(5) Do not make sharp turns on a slope. It may
cause turnover of the tractor.
When climbing up a hill, shift the speed change
lever to the most suitable speed. Start moving
the tractor as slowly as possible.
While climbing up a hill, never shift speeds
along the way.

TM3160F,TM3200F&TM3240F
10
When starting to move the tractor on an up-hill
slope, be sure that the front wheels do not lift up.
When going down a hill, drive the tractor at a
slower speed than used to climb up the hill.
While going down a hill, never disengage the
clutch or shift into neutral, and never try to con-
trol the speed only with the brakes; use the
engine brake effectively.
(6) When travelling on a road where one or both
shoulders are slanted and which run along a
ditch, look out for softened shoulders especially
when the ditch is full of water and be careful not
to let the machine slip sideways.
(7) Never allow other persons to get on the machine
or the implement except when the machine or
the implement is provided with a seat or a plat-
form for persons to sit or stand on, and only
within the capacity specified.
Never allow persons to get on the implement
while travelling on roads.
(8) When parking the tractor , you have to park it on
hard, level ground and provide suf ficient safety
measures by grounding the implement, removing
the key, applying the parking brakes, and chock-
ing the wheels securely.
(9) Keep inflammables away from the engine during
operation. Especially during stationary operation
do not operate the engine at high speed so as not
to set fire to grass or straw with a heated exhaust
pipe or exhaust fumes.
(10)When you have to operate the tractor at night,
make sure of location of controls. If not, the
tractor might work unexpectedly by mistake.
When travelling on roads, never turn on the
work lamps (option).

SAFETY
11
ULOADING ONTO OR UNLOADING FROM A
TRUCK
(1) When loading the tractor onto a truck or a trailer,
turn off the truck's engine and apply the parking
brakes to the truck or the trailer . Otherwise, the
truck could move and the tractor fall to the
ground.
(2) Pay sufficient attention to the safety conditions
around the tractor and have it guided by some-
one to assist the operation. Never allow other
persons to approach the tractor , especially in
front of or behind it.
(3) When loading or unloading the machine on / of f
a track, set slip-proof ramps at the same angles
and drive the tractor straight at suf ficiently slow
speeds. Loading the tractor in reverse travel and
unloading it in forward travel.
(4) Be sure to interlock the right and left brake ped-
als ahead of time. Never depress the brake ped-
als or clutch pedal during loading or unloading
operation, or the tractor may shift sideways,
which may cause it to fall off the ramps.
(5) If the engine stalls unexpectedly on the ramps,
depress the brake pedals immediately and roll
the tractor to the ground by manipulating the
brake pedals. Start the engine on the ground and
try again.
(6) When the machine is loaded on the truck, stop
the engine, apply parking brakes, and withdraw
the starter key , chock the wheels, and rope it
securely to the truck. During transportation, do
not make sharp turns needlessly so as not to shift
the loaded tractor.
(7) Use ramps with the same or better specifications
mentioned below. When the machine is equipped
with attachments other than those included in the
specifications mentioned below, ask your ISEKI
dealer for advice.

TM3160F,TM3200F&TM3240F
12
Specifications of the ramps
•Length more than 4 times the height of the platform of the truck
•Width (effective width) .................................... more than 35 cm
•Capacity (one ramp) .................................... more than 1000 kg
•Ramps should have anti-skid surfaces
(8) Hook the ramps securely on the platform of the
truck with the top of the ramp level with the
platform.
(9) Always prepare for even the worst, never allow-
ing other persons near the tractor.
(10)Drive the tractor carefully at the moment the
tractor moves from the ramps onto the platform,
for it changes angle abruptly.
UDURING OPERATION
(1) During operation, never allow other persons in
the vicinity of the tractor , because the tractor
itself or flung pieces may cause injury.
(2) Pay attention to safety around the tractor to
avoid injury to bystanders or damage to proper -
ty. Especially when operating with other per -
sons, use the horn to warn them.
(3) When crossing a ditch or a levee or when pass-
ing through soft land, drive the tractor slowly
and straightforward so that it does not slip or
turn over.
(4) Do not touch dangerous parts such as rotating
parts, moving parts, hot parts (muf fler, radiator,
or engine, etc. ) , or electric parts (battery termi-
nals and other live parts ), or you may be injured
seriously.
(5) If you use a trailer, use a proper one which starts
your tractor. Using an improper trailer may
cause serious accidents. Never attempt to haul
beyond the tractor's capacity. If you have a ques-
tion, please consult your ISEKI dealer.

SAFETY
13
(6) When moving the machine toward an implement
for the purpose of installing the implement,
never allow any one to stand in between. When
installing the implement on the machine, be pre-
pare to move away promptly in the event of an
emergency. The brakes should be applied secure-
ly during installation.
UINSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
(1) When servicing the tractor or mounting or dis-
mounting an implement, place the tractor on
level, hard ground which is suf ficiently illumi-
nated, or unexpected accidents may occur.
(2) When servicing the tractor , follow the instruc-
tions listed below:
•Apply parking brakes.
•Disengage all PTO.
•Place all gear shift levers in neutral.
•Remove the starter key.
•Lower the implement fully , if equipped. If not,
your hands or clothes may be caught or sand-
wiched between.
(3) When servicing the tractor , use proper tools.
Using makeshift tools may lead to injuries or
poor service, which may result in unexpected
accidents during operation.
(4) The engine, muf fler, radiator, etc. are very hot
just after operation, so wait until they cool down
sufficiently to avoid burns.
(5) Never remove the radiator cap while the engine
is hot or running. Wait until the engine cools
down and then relieve the radiator pressure by
releasing the radiator cap. Carelessly pouring
cooling water into the heated radiator can cause
serious damage to the radiator and the engine.
Careless removal of the radiator cap can cause
serious injury because of overheated water
vapour.
(6) Never fit unauthorized implements or attempt
unauthorized modification.

TM3160F,TM3200F&TM3240F
14
(7) Be sure to reinstall the removed safety covers in
place as exposed dangerous parts may cause
serious injury.
(8) Avoid high-pressure fluids. Escaping fluid under
pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious
injury, so keep hands and body away from pin
holes and nozzles ejecting such fluids. Be sure to
consult your dealer about the hydraulic and fuel
injection system trouble.
When checking for leaks, use a piece of card
board or wood without fail.
If any hydraulic fluid is injected accidentally
into the skin, it must be removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this type of
injury.
(9) When servicing wheels and tyres, the tractor and
/ or implement must be supported on suitable
blocks or stands. Not a hydraulic jack.
Do not attempt to service a tyre unless you have
the proper equipment and experience to perform
the job. Have the work carried out by your
ISEKI dealer or a qualified repair service.
When seating tyre beads onto rims never exceed
the maximum inflation specifications specified
on the tyre. Inflation beyond this maximum pres-
sure may brake the bead, or even the rim, with
dangerous, explosive force.
If tyres have deep scratches, cuts or punctures,
the respective tyre should be repaired or
replaced by qualified personnel as soon as possi-
ble.
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, eye /
face protection.
USTORAGE
(1) Never cover a hot machine just after operation
with a tarpaulin or the like, or the heated engine
and related parts may cause a fire.
(2) Before storing the tractor for a long period of
time, disconnect the battery cables to prevent
them, in case they are gnawed by rats, from
causing a short circuit, which may lead to a fire.
When disconnecting the cables, disconnect the
negative (-) cable first.

SAFETY
15
(3) Safe storage of dangerous objects
•When storing dangerous implements, take
appropriate safety measures to prevent accidents
by covering with tarpaulin.
•Store fuel in a safe place with caution signs such
as "PREVENT FIRE" or "INFLAMMABLE."
•All inflammables must also be stored in a safe,
fire-resistant location.
MAINTENANCE OF THE ELECTRIC
SYSTEM
UTO MAINTAIN ELECTRIC WIRING
(1) When servicing the electric wiring, stop the
engine without fail. Otherwise your hands or
clothes may be caught in or sandwiched between
rotating parts.
(2) Before manipulating electric parts, be sure to
disconnect the earth battery cable (-), or you
may get an electric shock or be injured by
sparks.
(3) Loose electric terminals or connectors may not
only lower electrical performance but also cause
short circuit or leakage of electricity , which may
lead to a fire. Promptly repair or replace dam-
aged wiring.
(4) Remove chaff or dust from the battery , wiring,
muffler, or engine. Otherwise it could result a
fire.
UTO HANDLE THE BATTERY
(1) When working around the battery , avoid smok-
ing. The battery generates explosive hydrogen
and oxygen gases when it is being charged. Keep
the battery away from sparks or open flames.
(2) The battery should be inspected before starting
the engine. Be careful not to touch the elec-
trolyte when removing the vent plugs. If the bat-
tery electrolyte makes contact with the skin or
clothing, wash it off immediately with water and
then consult a doctor.

TM3160F,TM3200F&TM3240F
16
(3) When replacing or inspecting the battery , stop
the engine and turn the main switch of f, or elec-
trical parts may be damaged or unexpected acci-
dent may occur.
(4) When disconnecting the battery cables, discon-
nect the earth cable (-) first without fail. When
connecting the battery cables, connect the posi-
tive cable (+) first. Disconnecting or connecting
in wrong order may lead to a short circuit or
sparks.
UTO HANDLE BOOSTER CABLES
When using booster cables, pay attention to the
following items for safe operation:
(1)
Before connecting cables, remove the vent plugs.
This will lower the force in case of explosion.
(2) Before connecting cables, be sure to stop the en-
gine.
Otherwise unexpected accidents may occur.
(3) Use booster cables with suf ficient electrical ca-
pacity. A cable of inadequate capacity will cause
generation of heat, which may lead to a fire.
USAFETY DECALS
The labels are stuck on the tractor. You should of
course read the safety instructions in the manual.
But never fail to read the labels on the machine
as well.
•The labels should always be clearly seen, that is,
nothing should obscure them.
•When they have become dirty , wash them with
soapy water and wipe off with soft cloth.
•If any of them are torn or lost, order new labels
from your dealer . Their codes are mentioned in
"SAFETY DECALS AND THEIR LOCA-
TION."
•A new label should be placed in the same place
where the old one was located.
•When sticking on a new label, clean the place to
enable the label to stick and squeeze out all air
bubbles trapped under it.
When disconnecting battery cords,
disconnect negative cord first.
When connecting battery cords,
connect positive cord first.
