SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A careful operator is the best operator. Most accidents can be avoided by observing certain precautions. To
help prevent accidents, read and practice 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.
THE TRACTOR
1. Read this entire manual carefully before using the
tractor. Lack of operating knowledge can lead to
accidents.
2. Only allow properly trained and qualified persons
to operate the tractor.
3. Pay special attention to the warning and caution
labels affixed on the tractor.
4. Replace all missing, illegible or damaged safety
decals. See list of decals on page 15.
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 all
people are at a safe distance.
10. Before driving the tractor in reverse, check to see
that there are no obstacles around.
11. Never operate the tractor or any agricultural equip-
ment while under the influence of alcohol or other
drugs that 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 ter-
minals.
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 op-
eration.
623O001A

- 8 -
16. Before allowing other people to use your tractor,
explain how to operate and allow them to read
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.
18. Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to
modify or alter the tractor or any of its components
or any tractor function without first consulting a
KIOTI dealer.
19. Before starting the engine, sit in the seat, disen-
gage the clutch, and place shift levers in the neu-
tral position. Fasten seat belt if equipped with
ROPS.
20. For your safety ROPS with a seat belt is recom-
mended by KIOTI for most applications.
Check owner’s manual and discuss with your Lo-
cal 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 a ROPS.
(ROPS : Roll Over Protective Structure)
623O002A
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 po-
sition. Tighten mounting bolts to proper torque, see
ROPS installation instruction.

- 9 -
DRIVING THE TRACTOR
1. Reduce speed before turning or applying the
brakes. Before driving on the road, be sure to in-
terlock 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
SMV emblem and warning flashers as required.
3. When driving the tractor on a road, turn the light
switch to the bright headlamp position. Be sure
the SMV emblem is visible and clear. Dim the trac-
tor 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 trav-
eling at road speeds or when on the highway.
6. Do not drive the tractor on the road with the imple-
ment 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 cross-
ing ditches or slopes and when turning corners.
Do not drive the tractor close to the edges or
ditches of banks that may break under the weight
of the tractor.
9. Use caution while operating the tractor under ab-
normal conditions.
10. Tractors with narrow tread width require extra driv-
ing caution to avoid tip over. You can improve sta-
bility by adjusting rear wheels to maximum tread
width, see page 38.
623O003A

- 10 -
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 back-
ward. Stay off hills and slopes too steep for safe
operation.
13. Lock the brake pedals together when traveling at
road speeds. Brake both wheels simultaneously
when making an emergency stop. Uneven brak-
ing 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 PTO control switch
and the transmission lever in neutral before start-
ing 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 PTO and apply the park-
ing 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.
623O004A
623O005A
623O006A

- 11 -
7. Pull only from the draw-bar. 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 it unbalanced.
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, operate and
maintain in accordance with the instructions is-
sued by the equipment or accessory manufacturer.
14. Remember that your tractor, if abused, can be dan-
gerous 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. Re-
fer 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.

- 12 -
OPERATING THE PTO
1. Stay clear of all rotating parts.
2. Keep all safety covers in place at all times.
3. When operating PTO drive equipment, shut off the
engine and wait until the PTO stops before get-
ting off the tractor and disconnecting the equip-
ment. Disengage PTO, stop engine and ensure
all rotating components come to a halt completely
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 dis-
engage 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 counter ballast weight
on the tractor.
DIESEL FUEL
1. Under no circumstances should gasoline, alco-
hol 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 en-
gine 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.
623O006A
623O007A

- 13 -
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 full. Allow the fuel tank to
room for expansion.
10. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
POSSIBLE HAZARDS
EXHAUST FUMES
1. To avoid the danger of carbon monoxide poison-
ing, do not operate the engine in an enclosed
building without adequate ventilation to outside
air.
2. While running the engine, protect workers and ani-
mals 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 charging, will give off
hydrogen and oxygen gases that are very explo-
sive. 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 (-) at
first and always reconnect the ground cable (-) at
last.
3. Refer to page 72 for specific battery instructions.
623O008A

- 14 -
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 ex-
cess pressure before removing cap completely.
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 pres-
sure 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 be almost invisible. Don’t use hands to
search for suspected leaks, but use a piece of
cardboard or wood. If injured by escaping fluid,
see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction
can develop if proper medical treatment is not
administered immediately.
SAFE SERVICING
1. Before servicing the tractor, locate the tractor on a
firm level surface, apply the parking brake; place
the transmission levers in neutral and stop the
engine.
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable before ser-
vicing on or near electrical components.
3. Service or check the tractor after it has completely
cooled off. Avoid touching the muffler and the ra-
diator until they have cooled off.
4. When changing the wheel tread width, securely
support tractor while raised.
5. Always retighten wheel bolts to the specified
torque and check regularly.
6. Do not attempt to mount a tire on a rim unless
qualified to do so with the proper equipment.
7. Check, service and clean the tractor after stop-
ping the engine, follow the directions of the
owner’s Manual.

3. Handling New Tractor
How a new tractor is handled and maintained deter-
mines 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 “bro-
ken-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 per-
formance 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.
1. Do not start quickly nor apply the brakes suddenly.
2. In winter, run the tractor after fully warming up the
engine.
3. Do not run at speeds faster than necessary.
4. 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 trac-
tors, but to all tractors. But it should be especially ob-
served in case of new tractors.
Changing Lubricating Oil For New
Tractors
The lubricating oil is especially important in the
case of a new tractor. The various parts are not “bro-
ken-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.
Therefore, care should be taken to exchange the
lubricating oil a little earlier than would ordinarily
be required. For further details of exchange interval
hours, see check list (p54).

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 acti-
vates the glow plug, proceeding to preheat the com-
bustion chamber. After the glow plug lamp has turned
off 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 position.
NOTE :
• Because of the safety device, the engine will not be
started except when the clutch is disengaged
