INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Yanmar tractor product that has been designed and
manufactured based on the Yanmar state-of-the-art technology and rich
expertise in developing and manufacturing products.
Handle the tractor correctly by following the instructions in the Operation Manual
so that the tractor will provide long years of reliable and predictable service.
The Operation Manual constitutes an indispensable part of the Yanmar tractor
product. Always keep the Operation Manual readily accessible.
Carefully study the Operation Manual to get familiar with the instructions and
informations contained in the Operation Manual. The instructions and
informations are helpful in using the tractor correctly and safely, avoiding
personal injury and other accidents during operation and servicing of the tractor.
When using any implement together with the tractor, also carefully study the
Operation Manual of the implement so that the operator can use the
implement safely, correctly and efficiently.
The Operation Manual is organized with sections arranged in a particular order
so that the operator can better understand the safety messages and the controls
on the tractor to help the operator operate the tractor correctly and safely. The
Operation Manual will also help the operator answer questions about operation
and servicing.
The tractor shown in the Operation Manual may somewhat differ from the actual

instructions associated with the tractor. Before delivery of the tractor, your
Yanmar Tractor dealer has performed a pre-delivery check to ensure that the
tractor can long remain problem free.
