8. OPERATING THE TRACTOR
Sc2400 Operator’s Manual
5. Operating on Slopes
Avoid injury. Be extremely cautious when driving
the tractor on a slope:
●To increase the traction power and provide 4-
wheel braking feature, engage the 4-wheel
drive lever before driving the tractor on a slope.
Remember that although the 4-wheel drive
lever greatly assists in approach to a steep
slope, there is greater possibility of a tip over.
●To improve braking power on sloped, frozen,
wet or graveled surfaces, engage the 4-wheel
drive lever. Add ballast to the tractor as
necessary and travel at a lower speed to
prevent skidding and loss of steering control.
●While driving the tractor, do not attempt to
climb a slope that is steeper than 11 degrees.
●Even on a slope that is not steeper than 11
degrees, do not turn or change the traveling
direction, or park square to the slope.
●Before approaching a slope, select an
appropriate speed setting. NEVER shift on a
slope. Be sure to travel at a lower speed on a
slope.
●Suddenly starting the tractor on an uphill can
cause the front wheels to jump off the ground,
and this situation poses an extreme danger. To
avoid this problem, run the engine at a lower
speed and slowly start the tractor in motion.
●NEVER park the tractor on a slope. If parking on
a slope is unavoidable, chock the tires, and pull
the parking brake lever to engage the parking
brake securely.
●On a slope, the tractor is unstable and more
prone to tip-over, possibly leading to severe
injury or even death. Remain very cautious when
your tractor is on any slope.
●To avoid tip over, move backward on a steep
slope. If backing on the slope is not comfortable,
do not attempt to continue. Avoid an extremely
steep slope.
●When exiting a ditch, deep mud or traveling on
a steep slope, the risk of the tractor roll-over is
high. In four-wheel drive mode, special caution
is needed.
●Slowly move on any slope. NEVER change
speed or direction quickly.
●When backing up a slope, keep the tractor
parallel with the gradient of the slope.
