caution labels affixed on the tractor.
4. Replace all missing, illegible or damaged safety
decals. See list of decals on page 18.
5. Keep safety decals free of dirt or grime.
6. To prevent falls, use the handholds and step
plates when getting on and off the tractor. Keep
step and platform clear of mud and debris.
7. When working in the field or muddy areas, be
sure to scrape off mud or soil from the bottom
of your shoes before mounting the tractor.
8. Watch where you are going at all times. Watch
for and avoid obstacles.
9. Before starting the tractor, check to see that
there are no people around.
10. Before driving the tractor in reverse, check to
see that there are no obstacles around.
11. Never operate the tractor or any agricultural
equipment while under the influence of alcohol
or other drugs which impair operation, or while
fatigued.
12. When working in cooperation with other
tractors, let the other drivers know what you
are doing.
13. Do not start engine by shorting across starter
terminals.
14. Never start engine while standing on the
ground.
15. Do not permit anyone but the operator to ride
on the tractor unless a passenger seat is
fitted. Keep bystanders away from the tractor
during operation.
16. Before allowing other people to use your
tractor, explain how to operate and lend this
manual beforehand.
17. Before getting off the tractor, be sure to stop
the engine, set the brake, remove the key and
lower the implement to the ground.

Safety Precautions
A careful operator is the best operator. Most accidents can be avoided by observing certain precautions.
To help prevent accidents, read and take these safety precautions and pay attention to the job at hand.
If you can prevent an accident in advance, your time will have been spent well.

Check owner’s manual and discuss with your
local dealer.
NOTE :
• Always use seat belt when the tractor is equipped
with a ROPS. Never use the seat belt when tractor
is not equipped with aROPS.
(ROPS : Roll Over Protective Structures)
Never modify structural members of ROPS by
welding, bending, grinding or cutting as this may
weaken the Structure. If any component is
damaged, replace it.
Do not attempt repairs. If ROPS is loosened or
removed for any reason, make certain all parts are
fitted in position. Tighten mounting bolts to proper
torque, seeROPSinstallation instruction.
DRIVING THE TRACTOR
1. Reduce speed before turning or applying the
brakes. Before driving on the road, be sure to
interlock the two brake pedals. Applying only one
rear brake at road speeds could cause the tractor
to roll over.
2. Observe all local and state traffic regulations. Use
S.M.V. emblem and warning flashers as required.
3. When driving the tractor on a road, turn the light
switch to the bright head lamp position. Be sure
the SMV emblem is visible and clear. Dip the
tractor lights when meeting a vehicle at night.
Make sure the lights are adjusted to prevent
blinding the driver of an oncoming vehicle. Hold
road speed to controllable rate.
4. Never apply the differential lock while turning.
When engaged, the differential lock will prevent
the tractor from turning.
5. Power steering makes the steering wheel easy to
turn. Drive the tractor with special care when
travelling at road speeds or when on the highway.
6. Do not drive the tractor on the road with the
implement in operation.
7. To avoid premature wear, do not use the clutch
pedal as a foot rest.
8. To avoid tip over, drive the tractor with care and at
speeds compatible with safety, especially when
operating over rough and wet ground, when
crossing ditches or slopes and when turning
corner. Do not drive the tractor close to the edges
of ditches of banks which may break under the
weight of the tractor.
9. Use caution while operating the tractor under
abnormal conditions.
10. Tractors with narrow tread width require extra
driving caution to avoid tip over. You can
improve stability by adjusting rear wheels to
maximum tread width, see page 35.
11. If descending a slope, never disengage the
clutch or shift to neutral. Doing so could cause
loss of control of the tractor.
12. Always back up when going up a slope. Driving

forward could cause the tractor to tip over
backward. Stay off hills and slopes too steep for
safe operation.
13. Lock the brake pedals together when travelling
at road speeds. Brake both wheels simul-
taneously when making an emergency stop.
Uneven braking at road speeds could cause
the tractor to roll over.
OPERATING THE TRACTOR
1. Apply the parking brake, place the lift control
lever in the down position and the P.T.O. control
switch and the transmission lever in neutral
before starting the tractor.
2. Avoid accidental contact with the gear shift levers
while the engine is running. Unexpected tractor
movement can result from such contact.
3. Shut off the engine and P.T.O. and apply the
parking brake before getting off the tractor.
4. Do not park the tractor on a steep incline.
5. Do not operate the tractor engine in an enclosed
building without adequate ventilation. Exhaust
fumes can cause death.
6. Tighten all connections before starting the
engine or pressurizing lines.
7. Pull only from the pick-up hitch, swinging draw-
bar or the lower link draw-bar in the lowered
position. Use only a draw-bar pin that locks in
place. Pulling from the tractor rear axle or any
point above the axle may cause the tractor to tip
over.
8. If the front end of the tractor tends to rise when
heavy implements are attached to the three-
point hitch, install front end weight. Do not
operate the tractor with a front end light.
9. Do not leave equipment in the raised position
when the tractor is stopped or unattended.
10. When installing or using an implement or other
attachment with the tractor, be sure to read the
“ Specifications of Implement Limitations”.
11. Know your equipment and its limitations.
12. When using an implement, be sure to install the
proper ballast weight on the tractor.
13. Ensure any attached equipment or accessories
are correctly installed, and approved for use
with the tractor. Do not overload the tractor and
are operated and maintained in accordance
with the instructions issued by the equipment or
accessory manufacturer.
14. Remember that your tractor, if abused, can be
dangerous and become a hazard both to the
operator and to bystanders. Do not overload or
operate with attached equipment which is
unsafe, not designed for the particular task or is
poorly maintained.
Refer to “Specifications of Implement
Limitations” recommended by KIOTI Dealer,
which outlines the maximum loads for safe
tractor operation.

15. When loading on a truck, securely fix a rugged
ramp with non-skids and check to see that there
are no people around before starting to load or
unload.
16. When loading or unloading, chock up or block
up the truck tires.
OPERATING THE P.T.O.
1. Stay clear of all rotating parts.
2. Keep all safety covers in place at all time.
3. When operating P.T.O.-drive equipment, shut off
the engine and wait until the P.T.O. stops before
getting off the tractor and disconnecting the
equipment.
Disengage PTO, stop engine and allow all
rotating components to come to complete stop
before connecting, disconnecting, adjusting or
cleaning any PTO driven equipment.
4. This tractor has a 560 rpm speed when shifting
the PTO control switch to “ON” to engage the
PTO clutch. Set the PTO control switch to “OFF”
to disengage the PTO clutch.
5. Do not wear loose clothing when operating the
power take-off when near rotating equipment.
USING 3-POINT HITCH
1. Use 3-point hitch only with equipment designed
for 3-point hitch usage.
2. When using 3-point hitch mounted implement, be
sure to install the proper counterballast weight on
the tractor.
DIESEL FUEL
1. Under no circumstances should gasoline, alcohol
or blended fuels be added to diesel fuel. These
combinations can create an increased fire or
explosive hazard. In a closed container such as a
fuel tank these blends are more explosive than
pure gasoline. Do not use these blends.
2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the
engine running.
3. Do not smoke while refueling the tractor or when
standing near fuel. Keep any type of open flame
away. Wait for the engine to cool before refueling.
4. Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle when
filling the tank.
5. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
6. Keep equipment clean and properly maintained.
7. Do not drive equipment near open fires.
8. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
9. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for
expansion.
10. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
6. POSSIBLE HAZARDS
- EXHAUST FUMES
(1)To avoid the danger of exhaust fume poisoning,
do not operate the engine in an enclosed building
without adequate ventilation to outside air.
(2)While running the engine, protect workers and
animals from exhaust gas.
- FIRES
(1) Always stop the engine before refueling. Keep
away from sparks and flames.

(2)Avoid fuel spills and over filling the fuel tank.
Clean up any spills on tractor before starting
engine.
(3)Keep first aid kit and fire extinguisher near by at
all times.
- EXPLOSIONS
(1) A battery, especially when changing, will give
off hydrogen and oxygen gases which are very
explosive. Keep away from sparks and open
flames at all times.
(2) To avoid sparks from an accidental short
circuit, always disconnect the battery ground
cable(-) first and always reconnect the ground
cable(-) last.
(3)Refer to page 56 for specific battery
instructions.
- HIGH PRESSURE FLUIDS
(1) Do not remove radiator filler cap when coolant
temperature is around its boiling point. At that
time loosen cap slightly to the stop to relieve
any excess pressure before removing cap
com-pletely.
(2) Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can
have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing
serious personal injury. Before disconnecting
lines, be sure to relieve all pressure. Before
applying pressure to the system, be sure that
all connections are tight and that lines, pipes
and hoses are not damaged. Fluid escaping
from a very small hole can almost invisible.
Don’t use hands to search for suspected
leaks, but use a piece of cardboard or wood. If
injured by escap-ing fluid, see a doctor at
once. Serious infection or reaction can
develop if proper medical treatment is not
administered immediately.

How a new tractor is handled and maintained
determines the life of the tractor.
A new tractor just off the factory production line
has been, of course, well fitted and tested, but
the various parts are not accustomed to severe
types of work, so care should be taken to
operate the tractor for the first 100 hours at a
slower speed and avoid excessive work or
operation until the various parts become well
“broken-in”, The manner in which the tractor is
handled during the “breaking-in” period greatly
affects the life of your tractor. Therefore, to
obtain the maximum performance and the
longest life of the tractor, it is very important to
properly break-in your tractor.
In handling a new tractor the following
precautions should be well observed.
-Do not operate the tractor at full speed for
the first 100 hours.
- Do not start quickly nor apply the brakes
suddenly.
- In winter, run the tractor after fully warming
up the engine.
- Do not run at speeds faster than necessary.
- On rough roads, slow down to suitable
speeds. Do not operate the tractor at fast
speed.
The above precautions are not limited only to
new tractors, but to all tractors. But it should be
especially observed in case of new tractors.
-Changing lubricating oil for new tractors
The lubricating oil is specially important in the
case of a new tractor. The various parts are
not “broken-in” and are not accustomed to
each other: small metal grit may develop
during operating the tractor; and this may wear
out or damage the parts. Therfore, care should
be taken to exchange the lubricating oil a little
earlier than would ordinarily be required. For
futher details of exchange interval hours, see
check list (p45).
-Read “For Safe Operation” to assure Safe
Operation
- Please read “For Safe Operation” (p37).
- The precautions are suggested to help
prevent accidents.
3. Handling New Tractor

- Key Switch
Inserting the key and turning it one click to the right,
closes the electrical circuit and lights up the engine
oil pressure lamp(RED). Depress the clutch pedal to
disengage the clutch. Next, turning the key right
activates the glow plug, preceeding to preheat the
combustion chamber. After the glow plug lamp has
turned red and that the engine has been preheated
completely, turn the key switch right and the cell
starter will start to rotate and the engine should start.
Release the key switch and it will return to the ON

the hazard lamps blink.
=PTO switch
The PTO switch must be placed to the “neutral”
positions before starting the engine. otherwise, the
engine will not start.
IMPORTANT :
• Always turn the starter switch key to the “OFF”
position. Damage may occur to the electrical
system if the engine is running with the starter
switch off.
- Hour Meter
This meter shows the number of hours the tractor
has been operate at rated engine rpm.
The last digit(white background) indicates 1/10 of an
hour. The time in minutes will be shown by
multiplying by six to last digit on white background.
Example 0,1,7,0,1... 170hours 6 minutes used
Moving hand indicates the revolution per minute of
the engine
- Cooling Water Temp. Meter
Wait until Engine is warm enough. Do not operate
tractor before Temp. meter indicates the proper
temperature. Be careful not to exceed cooling water
temperature overheated(red mark on Temp. meter)
Before operating tractor, always check the amount
of cooling water in the radiator.
- Engine Oil Pressure Lamp
The oil pressure lamp will glow red when the starter
switch is turned on. This indicates the light and
electrical wiring are functioning properly. The light
should go out after engine starts. If light remains on,
stop engine and determine cause.
- Battery Charge Lamp
The battery charge lamp will glow red when the
main switch is turned on and should go out as
engine starts. If the lamp continues to glow above
idle speeds, the battery is being discharged,
indicating the electrical system should be checked.

- Fuses
There are fuses in the fuse box to safeguard the
electric circuit.
- Fuel Thermistor
If fuel lamp goes out, stop engine and refill fuel tank.
- Fuel Gauge
Fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel. Be careful
to refill the fuel tank before it becomes empty. Once
the fuel tank becomes empty, it will be necessary to
bleed the fuel system before the engine will start.

- Main Shift Lever & Hi-Lo shift lever
The main shift lever pattern is in the form of an “H”.
The range lever is used to select two stage, “High”
and “Low”. By combination and use of the main
gear shift lever and the Hi-Lo gear shift lever, it is
possible to obtain four speeds forward and reverse
in “High” range and four speeds forward and
reverse in “Low” range, or a total of eight speeds
forward ; and eight speeds reverse, High and Low.
NOTE :
• To change speed, press the clutch pedal
completely down before attempting to proceed
with speed change.
-Front Wheel Drive Lever
Pull the front wheel drive lever up to engine the
front wheel drive mechanism (p27).
During ordinary farming work, keep the lever down
4.2 Controls

to leave the mechanism disengaged. The front
wheel drive mechanism is very effective on the
following jobs.
(1) On slopes and in wet fields, or when connected
to the Trailer or the Front-End-Loader where
great traction is required.
(2) On sandy land.
(3) To prevent the tractor being thrust foward during
rotary tilling hard soil.
(4)Entering a job location or going over a high bank.
- PTO Gear shift Lever(Manual/Automatic)
Two PTO speeds can be obtained by shifting the
PTO speed lever from the operator’s seat.
If turning PTO swich to Automatic, rotary is operating
only on working in filed. For example, if you lift rotary
while working, the operating of rotary will be stopped.
But if changing PTO swich to Manual, rotary is
always operating.
- Hand Throttle
When the hand throttle is pushed forward, the
engine speed will increase. When pulled rearward,
the engine speed will decrease.
- Foot Throttle
The foot throttle is interlocked with the hand throttle.
Depressing the foot throttle increases engine speed.
Full engine speed control can be obtained with the
foot throttle if the hand throttle is in full rearward
position. The foot throttle may also be used to
temporarily increases engine speed above the hand
throttle setting.
- Clutch Pedal
When the clutch pedal is fully depressed, the clutch is
disengaged. Shift the main shift lever to the desired
speed and gradually release the clutch pedal, then
the clutch will become engaged. The clutch should
be disengaged by stepping on the pedal quickly, and
engaged by slow releasing the foot from the pedal so
as not to damage the clutch plate.
IMPORTANT :
• The clutch pedal must be quickly disengaged and
be slowly engaged.
• Never operate the tractor with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal. Doing so may contribute to
premature clutch wear.
- Brake Pedals(Right and Left)
(1) Before operating the tractor on a road, be sure to
interlock the right and left pedals as illustrated
below. It will be very dangerous to use only one
brake.
(2) Use individual brake to assist in making sharp
turns. Disengage the brake lock and depress
only one brake pedal with direction that you are
turning.
(3) When operating the tractor on roads, always be
sure to interlock the left and the right brake pedals.
Do not forget to observe this precaution, otherwise,
steppingon onlyone brakewhile operatingon roads
wouldcause unforeseenaccidents.
- Parking Brake Lever
(1) To set the parking brake ;
• Interlock the brake pedals.
