TO OUR CUSTOMER
Thank you very much for purchasing an ISEKI tractor.
This operator’s manual provides the information necessary for operating and main-
taining your tractor safely and properly. The contents are mainly composed of the
following two items:
Safety instructions : Essential items which you should observe while operating the
tractor
Technical instructions : Items which are necessary to operate, adjust, and service the
tractor properly
Before starting to operate the machine for the first time, you should read this opera-
tion manual thoroughly and carefully until you are sufficiently familiar with the
operation of the machine to do jobs safely and properly. The manual should be kept
in a handy place so you can refer to it when required. You are advised to refer to it
from time to time to refresh your understanding of the machine.
Your dealer has performed the pre-delivery service on your new machine.
He will discuss with you the operating and maintenance instructions given in this
manual, and instruct you in the proper and varied applications of this machine. Call
on him at any time when you have a question, or need equipment related to the use
of your machine.
Paragraphs in the manual and labels on the machine which are
accompanied by a caution mark contain particularly important
information about safe operation to avoid accidents. You should
always keep precautions in mind and follow them during operation.
Be sure to wear
personnel protective equipment
during operation!
In some of the illustrations used in this operation manual, panels or guards may
have been removed for clarity. Never operate the tractor with these panels and
guards removed. If the removal of a shield is necessary to make a repair, it must
be replaced before operation.
All information, illustrations, and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest information available

Understand thoroughly the following precautions, al-
ways keep them in mind before, during, and after op-
eration, and never take chances.
MAKING YOUR TRACTOR A SAFE VEHICLE
UHOWTO MAINTAIN SAFETY
(1) Never attempt to do the following:
•Modification of the structure of the tractor
•Installation of other type engine
•Installation of tyres of other than the original ty-
re size Any malfunctions or failures of the trac-
tor due to unauthorized modification are not co-
vered by the warranty.
(2) This machine cannot be driven on a public road
without authorization by a local government
agency, etc.
When transporting an unauthorized machine on
a public road, load it on a truck.
When travelling with an implement wider than
the tractor, put red caution markers such as flags
(red lamps at night) in the most visible locations
on both sides of the implements, and place a
“SLOW MOVING VEHICLE” sign in a place
where it is easily seen by other drivers. Operate
the machine carefully keeping in mind that the
implement is wide and may roll easily. If the
implement can be folded, fold it beforehand. If
there are road or railway crossings where the
visibility is poor, you should install on the
machine a mirror to give a view ahead of you so
that you need not move your machine too far
into the intersection.
(3) When you travel on a road, you must turn work
lights off if the law requires it.
