8. OPERATING THE TRACTOR
Ex2900 / 3200 Operator's Manual
4-Wheel Drive Lever
In the 4-wheel drive mode, all the four wheels are
powered to obtain better traction on difficult-to-travel
ground.
The 4-wheel drive lever can be set to the ON or OFF
position only when the tractor is at a standstill.
(a) 2-wheel drive mode
(b) 4-wheel drive mode
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage.
ALWAYS keep the 4-wheel drive lever in the OFF
position when traveling on a paved surface.
ALWAYS disengage the 4-wheel drive lever when not
needed to prevent premature wear of the front tires.
NEVER install tire chains to the front wheels. Chains will
hit and can damage the tractor.
If disengaging the 4-wheel drive lever is difficult, stop
the tractor, turn the steering wheel right and left several
times. Then attempt to disengage the 4-wheel drive
lever again.
To minimize tire wear, drive in the 4-wheel drive mode
only when absolutely necessary. Driving the tractor on a
paved road in the 4-wheel drive mode can accelerate
wear of the tires.
To obtain better traction, keep the front tires at the
maximum allowable pressure.
When the 4-wheel drive lever is in the ON position,
braking will apply to all four wheels.
5. Adjust the throttle control lever to attain
an intended speed.
Throttle Control Lever

speed as required.
(a) To increase the engine speed : Push the throttle control
lever forward.
(b) To decrease the engine speed : Pull the throttle control
lever backward.
