• Apply parking brakes.
• Disengage all PTO.
• Place all gear shift levers in neutral.
• Remove the starter key.
• Lower the implement fully, if equipped.
If not, your hands or clothes may be caught
or sandwiched between.

(3) When servicing the tractor, use proper tools. Using

makeshift tools may lead to injuries or poor servicing,
which may result in unexpected accidents during
operation.

(4) The engine, muffler, radiator, etc. are very hot just
after operation, so wait until they cool down
sufficiently to avoid burns.

(5) Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is hot
or running. Wait until the engine cools down and then
relieve the radiator pressure by releasing the radiator
cap. Carelessly pouring cooling water into the heated
radiator can cause serious damage to the radiator
and the engine. Careless removal of the radiator cap
can cause serious injury because of overheated
water vapour.

unauthorized modification.

11
TH4330,4290,4260

(7) Be sure to reinstall the removed safety covers in place as

exposed dangerous parts may cause serious injury.

(8) Avoid high-pressure fluids. Escaping fluid under pressure

can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury, so keep
hands and body away from pin holes and nozzles ejecting
such fluids. Be sure to consult your dealer about the
hydraulic and fuel injection system trouble.
When checking for leaks, use a piece of cardboard or
wood without fail. If any hydraulic fluid is injected
accidentally into the skin, it must be removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this type or injury.

(9) When servicing wheels and tires, the tractor and/or

implement must be supported on suitable blocks or stands
Not a hydraulic jack.
Do not attempt to service a tire unless you have the FIG. 1-21
proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
Have the work carried out by your ISEKI dealer or a
qualified repair service.
When seating tire beads onto rims, never exceed the
maximum inflation specifications specified on the tire.
Inflation beyond this maximum pressure may brake the
bead, or even the rim, with dangerous, explosive force.
If tire have deep scratches, cuts or punctures, the
replaced by qualified personnel as soon as possible.
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, eye/face
protection.

STORAGE

(1) Never cover a hot machine just after operation with a

tarpaulin or the like, or the heated engine and related
parts may cause a fire.

(2) Before storing the tractor for a long period of time,

disconnect the battery cables to prevent them, in case FIG. 1-22
they are gnawed by a rat, from causing a short circuit,
which may lead to a fire. When disconnecting the cables,
disconnect the negative (-) cable first.

(3) Safe storage of dangerous objects

• When storing dangerous implements, take
appropriate safety measures to prevent accidents by
covering with tarpaulin.
• Store fuel in a safe place with caution signs such as
“PREVENT FIRE” or “INFLAMMABLE”.
• All inflammable must also be stored in a safe,
fire-resistant location.

 SAFETY

MAINTENANCE OF THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM

TO MAINTENACE ELECTRIC WIRING

(1) When servicing the electric wiring, stop the engine

without fail. Otherwise your hands or clothes may be
caught in or sandwiched between rotating parts.

(2) Before manipulating electric parts, be sure to disconnect

the earth battery cable (-), or you may get an electric
shock or be injured by sparks.

(3) Loose electric terminals or connectors may not only

lower electrical performance but also cause short circuit
or leakage of electricity, which may lead to a fire.
Promptly repair or replace damaged wiring.

(4) Remove chaff of dust from the battery, wiring, muffler, or

engine. Otherwise it could result a fire.

TO HANDLE THE BATTERY

(1) When working around the battery, avoid smoking. The

battery generates explosive hydrogen and oxygen gases
when it is being charged.
Keep the battery away from sparks or open flames.

(2) The battery should be inspected before starting the

engine. Be careful not to touch the electrolyte when
removing the vent plugs. If the battery electrolyte makes
contact with the skin or clothing, wash it off immediately
with water and then consult a doctor.

(3) When replacing or inspecting the battery, stop the

engine and turn the main switch off, or electrical parts
may be damaged or unexpected accident may occur.
FIG. 1-23

13
TH4330,4290,4260

When disconnecting the battery cables, disconnect the

earth cable (-) first without fail. When connecting the
battery cables, connect the positive cable (+) first.
Disconnecting or connecting in wrong order may lead to
a short circuit or sparks.

TO HANDLE BOOSTER CABLES

When using booster cables, pay attention to the

following items for safe operation:

(1) Before connecting cables, remove the vent plugs.

This will lower the force in case of explosion.

(2) Before connecting cables, be sure to stop the

engine. Otherwise unexpected accidents may FIG. 1-24
occur.

(3) Use booster cables with sufficient electrical

capacity. A cable of inadequate capacity will
cause generation of heat, which may lead to a
fire.

SAFETY DECALS

The labels are stuck on the tractor. You should of

course read the safety instructions in the manual. But
never fail to read the labels on the machine as well.

• The labels should always be clearly seen, that

is, nothing should obscure them. FIG. 1-25

• When they have become dirty, wash them with

soap water and wipe off with soft cloth.

• If any of them are torn or lost, order new labels

from your dealer. Their codes are mentioned in
“SAFETY DECALS AND THEIR LOCATION”.

• A new label should be placed in the same place

where the old one was located.

INTRODUCTION
FIGS. 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3: The information in this
publication describes the operation, maintenance and
servicing of the TH4330, 4290 and 4260 Tractors.
Every effort has been made to provide correct and
concise information to you, the operator, as available
at date of book publication. Your ISEKI Dealer is
available should items in this book or details of your
machine not be understood.

This book is supplied with each machine to familiarize

the operator with proper instructions needed for
operation and maintenance. Studying and adhering to
these instructions will insure optimum machine
performance and ·longevity. A machine that is
maintained properly and operated in the intended
manner will provide greater dividends than one that is
neglected and/or operated in manner other than as FIG. 2-1
intended. Design and servicing of this machine has
been kept as simple as possible to permit maintenance
operations to be carried out with tools normally
available.

This book should be thoroughly read and understood

prior to operation of this machine. Inexperienced
operators should study contents of this publication and
receive instruction from an experienced operator when
possible. Your ISEKI Dealer can also assist in areas
concerning machine operation and provide details
concerning safe operation. it is suggested that this
booklet be kept readily accessible, preferably with the
machine, for future reference if questions or concerns
arise. If the original book should become damaged,
consult your Dealer in regards to acquiring a
replacement.

Customers are strongly advised to use an official FIG. 2-2

ISEKI Dealer in connection with any service problems
and adjustments that may occur. The ISEKI Dealer
network is specially trained and equipped for all service
work and to advise customers on specific applications of
the Tractor in local conditions.

CAUTION: In some of the illustrations used in this

GROUND SPEED SELECTION

Hydrostatic Transmission
The hydrostatic transmission provides vari-
able speed control in forward or reverse.

FIGS. 5-4&5-5:
Range shift lever, 1, provides two major changes in
ground speed.

IMPORTANT: STOP tractor whenever shifting the

range shift lever 1.

Hydrostatic control lever (TH4330/4290), 2, is used only

forward travel and provides infinitely variable speeds from
“0” to top speed in a particular range. This lever allows the
operator to set a constant speed for operating in large
areas, road travel, etc. Lever will hold position selected
and must be returned to “0” position, manually (or by FIG. 5-4
carefully pushing reverse pedal, 4).

Pedal, 3, also controls forward travel speed. As pedal is

progressively pushed down, a corresponding increase in
ground speed will be noticed.
When released, pedal will return to neutral position
selected by hydrostatic control lever. When lever is in the
“0” position, pedal will return to neutral, and Tractor will
stop.

Reverse travel speed is obtained by pushing pedal, 4,

down. As pedal is progressively pushed down, a
corresponding increase in ground speed will be noticed.
When released, pedal will return to neutral position.

FIG. 5-6: Arrangement of gear with appropriate ground FIG. 5-5

FIG. 5-9: Differential lock lever, 1,should only be lowered
when required as steering ability is greatly reduced.

To engage differential lock, allow all rear wheel movement

to stop. Lower lock lever.

To disengage differential lock, release differential lock

lever. Lock lever should normally return to the "off"
position;

CAUTION: DO NOT use differential lock

on hard surfaces or when transporting FIG. 5-9
unit. DO NOT, engage with rear wheel(s)
spinning as severe damage may result.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
FIG. 5-10: Four-wheel drive models have a mechani-
cally driven front axle. Engagement and disengage-
ment of front drive axle is controlled by lever, 2, at front
and below operator’s seat.

IMPORTANT: Prior to engaging or disengaging 4WD,

Tractor stopped.

FIG. 5-11: When front axle is engaged, ground speed of

front tires will vary from ground speed of rear tires.
This is to assist steering when four-wheel drive is
selected.

For this reason, front axle must be disengaged when FIG. 5-10
Tractor is transported or operated on a hard, dry sur-
face. Failure to do so will result in rapid wear of front
drive tires and possible driveline damage.

IMPORTANT: Always disengage front drive axle when

operating in, conditions with minimal
wheel slippage (DRY OR HARD SUR-
FA CES).
If tire replacement is necessary, identi-
cal replacements must be installed to
maintain correct front/rear axle ratio.

 OPERATION

POWER TAKE OFF (PTO)

WARNING: PTO shafts and PTO driven implements can be

extremely dangerous.
Observe the following important points:
DO NOT operate tractor without a PTO cap installed. The
cap protects people from injury as well as the splines from
damage.
Before attaching, adjusting or working on PTO driven
implements, disengage the PTO, stop the engine and
remove the key. DO NOT work under raised equipment.
Before engaging a PTO-driven implement, ALWAYS
carefully raise and lower the implement using Position
Control. Check clearances, PTO shaft sliding range and
articulation.
Ensure that all PTO safety shields are in place at all times.
Ensure all PTO driven implements are in good condition
and conform to current standards.

NEVER step across any driveline.

DO NOT use the tractor drawbar or the implement drawbar

as a step.

NEVER use the driveline as a step.

NEVER wear loose fitting clothes.

Keep at least your height away from a rotating driveline.

Rear PTO Shaft

FIG. 5-12: A six-spline 1 3/81 (35 mm) PTO shaft, 1,
is provided at rear of Tractor to provide power for
mounted and other PTO driven equipment as required.

A protective cover is positioned over shaft splines when not in

use. FIG. 5-12
Normal rear PTO shaft operating speed:
604 / 1092 rpm is attained at 2600 engine rpm (TH4330)
581 / 1050 rpm is attained at 2500 engine rpm (TH4290)
581 / 1050 rpm is attained at 2500 engine rpm (TH4260)

IMPORTANT: When rear PTO is used with three-point

mounted equipment, it may be necessary
to remove drawbar at rear of
Tractor. Some types of mounted equip-
ment, when lowered, may allow PTO
shaft to contact drawbar.

FIG. 5-13: Implement drive shaft shown connected to Tractor

 OPERATION

THREE-POINT HITCH
Three-point hitch combines Tractor and implement
into one working unit. Implement position and raising
are controlled hydraulically. In addition, implement
weight and loads impose downward pressure at Trac-
tor rear wheels to increase traction.

Hitch Controls
FIG. 5-18: Control quadrant, to right of operator's seat,
controls the system to provide the following hitch
control functions:

Position Control - Maintains hitch position at constant

height in relation to the Tractor. As position control lever,
1, is moved rearward, hitch (and implement) are raised.
Moving lever forward will lower hitch to selected position.
Each lever setting provides a specific hitch (and
implement) position.

Draft Control – When installed regulates hitch height to

provide constant draft, or “pull”, of ground engaging
implements (plows, subsoil’s etc.). Moving draft control
lever, 2, forward will provide deeper implement working FIG. 5-18
depth. Moving lever rearward will provide a shallower
depth. As ground contours and/or soil conditions change,
the system will raise or lower implement as needed to
keep even load on Tractor.

CAUTION: Use position control lever, 1,

when attaching or detaching implements.
Place draft control lever, 2, fully forward
when using position control.

Draft control can be installed, as an accessory.

FIG. 5-19: Lowering Rate Control - Knob, 3 controls

discharge rate of hydraulic oil to adjust lowering speed
of hitch and implement. Turn knob clockwise to slow
drop rate, counterclockwise to increase drop rate. Turn-
ing knob fully clockwise will lock implement in raised
position.

CAUTION: When working on or around

mounted implements, always lower to
ground prior to work. If implement must
be raised, always block implement and
lower links securely.

FIG. 5-19

41
TH4330,4290,4260

Rear Linkage

FIGS. 5-20: Linkage consists of several major

components for implement attachment and operation:

Lower Links, 1 - Primary attaching points to lower

implement pins.

Lift Rods, 2 - Connect lower links to hydraulic lift

arms for raising/lowering of lower links. The lift rod
connected to the right lower link has provisions for
leveling the implement (side to side).

Stabilizer, 3 - Reduce side sway of implement.

Top Link, 4 - Adjustable, turnbuckle type to level

implement (front to rear). Top link also provides draft FIG. 5-20
load sensing for draft control.

Check Strap, 5 - Secures lower links together to

prevent tire interference when hitch Is not used.

FIG. 5-21: To match varying implements, rear linkage is

standardized according to spacing, pin size, etc. This
enables usage of alternate implements with minimal
adjustments as long as matching size or “Category” of
implement is used.

This Tractor is equipped for “Category I” implements with

following attaching point dimensions.

FIG. 5-21
FIG. 5-22: Linkage provides two positions of connecting
top link to Tractor.

For most implements, securing top link in upper hole, A, is

satisfactory, but position may be varied to provide
increased implement height during transport.
If draft control is installed, these positions are also used to
adjust draft sensitivity:

Use upper hole, A, for implements with low draft, or for

more sensitivity.
Use lower hole, B, for high draft implements, or for less
sensitivity.

CAUTION: Secure all pins after adjustment is made.

Always use pins supplied with Tractor. FIG. 5-22

42
 OPERATION

Attaching Implements

CAUTION: Always use POSITION CONTROL to attach

/ detach implements to provide precise control hitch.

FIG. 5-23: Back Tractor to implement, centering Tractor

with implement hitch frame. Place draft control lever, 2 (if
installed), in fully lowered position as it will not be used.

Raise or lower hitch using position control lever, 1, and

align left lower link end with corresponding implement
attaching pin.

Lock the brakes, shut off engine and remove key.

NOTE: Front lever stop, 3, can be set to contact position

control lever in implement work position. This enables
implement to be returned to identical position after hitch
has been raised for turning, transporting, etc. Rear lever
stop, 4, can be set to limit raising height, if required.
FIG. 5-23
FIG. 5-24: Slide ball end of left lower link, 1, over
implement pin and secure with lynch pin.

Adjust height of right lower link using turn buckle, 2.

Attach and secure right lower link, 3, to implement with
lynch pin.

Attach top link, 4, to top of implement hitch frame using

pin supplied with Tractor. Rotate center barrel section of
top link, to lengthen or shorten, and level implement from
front to rear.

After the implement is attached, adjusted for level

operation (as needed) using lift rod and top link turn
buckles. Secure all adjustments.

IMPORTANT: With some three-point hitch “mounted”

implements, it will be necessary to remove drawbar at rear FIG. 5-24
of Tractor to permit implement to be raised and lowered
without obstruction.

FIGS. 5-25: Certain implements require minimal side-play.

Stabilizer, 1, at each lower link should be evenly adjusted
to reduce side-play to desirable level. Do not remove all
side-play as lower link damage may result. Linkage
provides two positions of connecting top link to Tractor.

NOTE: The amount of side-play (stabilizer looseness) is

dependent upon implement and type of operation.
Normally 2” (50mm) of total side movement is desired, 1”
(25mm) to each side to Tractor centerline.

FIG. 5-25

43
TH4330,4290,4260

Using Position Control

Type of Work – Attaching / detaching implements and

other operations requiring implement to be kept at
constant height above ground. Also used with toll bars
having flexible row units and implements equipped with
gauge (support) wheels.

FIG. 5-26: Lever Positions – Draft control lever, 2 (if

equipped), fully down (not used). Use position control
lever, 1, to adjust hitch and implement position.

NOTE: Front lever stop, 3, can be set to contact position

control lever in implement work position. This enables
implement to be returned to identical position after hitch
has been raised for turning, transporting, etc. Rear lever FIG. 5-26
stop, 4, can be set to limit raising height, if required.

To Begin Work – Align Tractor and implement in field and

move position control lever, 1, forward (toward DOWN).
Adjust implement height using position control lever and
sent adjustable stops, 3, and 4, as desired.

When Turning – Move position lever, 1, rearward (toward

UP) to raise implement. Finish turning and return lever
against stop to resume operation.

To Finish Work and Transport – Move position control

lever, 1, fully rearward in quadrant.

FIG. 5-27: Lowering speed can be readjusted as

necessary using lowering rate control knob, 5.

Turning lowering speed knob fully clockwise will prevent

links from lowering.

CAUTION: When using mounted implements with PTO

driveline, make sure:

PTO drive shaft has minimum 51 mm (2”) engagement

of telescoping sections, at all hitch / implement
positions.

Hitch height during raising does not bind drive shaft

universal joints due to extreme drive shaft angles.
Limiting raising height may be required. FIG. 5-27

PTO drive is disengaged during transport.

44
 OPERATION

Using Draft Control

(Accessory)

Type of Work – When ground-engaging implements such

as plows, subsoil’s cultivators, etc. are used.

CAUTION: Do not use draft control when precise hitch

positioning is required (attaching / detaching
implements for example). Using draft control on
non-ground engaging implements should not be
attempted.

FIG. 5-28: Lever Positions – Use position control lever, 1 FIG. 5-28
to raise and lower implement and use draft control lever, 2
to adjust implement working depth and system sensitivity
in soil.

Position control lever 1, can also be used to prevent

excessive lowering of hitch when low draft areas (sandy
soil) are encountered.

NOTE: Adjustable lever stops, 3 and 4, can be set to

contact position control lever in implement work or raised
positions. This enables implement to be returned to
identical setting after hitch has been raised for turning at
field ends.

To Begin Work – Align Tractor and implement in field and

move position control lever, 1, forward (to DOWN) while
driving Tractor forward, lowering implement. Then adjust
draft control lever, 2, until correct working depth is
maintained

When Turning – Move position control lever, 1, rearward

to raise implement and permit completion of turn. Return
implement to work position by selecting position control
lever previous position against stop.

To Finish Work and Transport – Pull position control

lever rearward fully up to setting.

FIG. 5-29: Lowering speed can be readjusted as

necessary with lowering rate control knob, 5. Turning
lowering speed knob fully clockwise will prevent links from
lowering.

NOTE: Changes in soil texture or ground speed of unit

may require slight readjustment of draft control lever to
maintain consistent working depth as these can have a
direct influence on implement draft road.

If erratic operation is encountered, turn lowering rate

control knob, 5, clockwise to slow. Lowering top link FIG. 5-29
attaching location on Tractor will also decrease sensitivity.

45
TH4330,4290,4260

Detaching Implements

CAUTION: Always use POSITION CONTROL to attach

/ detach implements to provide precise control of
hitch.

Select a level area to detach and store the implement.

Lower implement to ground by moving position control
lever to DOWN. If necessary, adjust leveling crank on
right lift link to level implement on ground. Shut off engine,
securely lock brakes and remove key from Tractor. FIG. 5-30

Disconnect implement PTO drive shaft (as available).

Detach top link from implement.

NOTE: Lengthening or shortening of top link may be

required to permit disconnection from implement.

FIG. 5-30: Disconnect lower links from implement pins.

Make sure lower links are connected together with spring,
1, to prevent tire interference.

Take position in operator’s seat, start engine and drive

Tractor clean of implement.

EXTERNAL AUXILIARY HYDRAULICS

(ACCESSORY) FIG. 5-31
Auxiliary hydraulics can be Dealer-installed to operate
implements requiring external hydraulic source for
operation. Kits are available as single-spool (one auxiliary
circuit) or two-spool (two-spool kit only).

FIG. 5-31: Control lever, 1, controls implement raising /

lowering when first set of remote couplers are used.
Control lever, 2, controls implement when second set of
remote couplers are used (two-spool kit only).

Control lever(s) are spring-loaded to center neutral

position, from normal raise or lower positions.

If levers are pushed fully forward they will hold in a detent

providing a float position.

Float position is used for loader and blade operations to

allow the bucket, or blade to float on top of the surface. It
is also used in some implement applications.

46
 OPERATION

FIG. 5-32: Remote couplers are located at rear of Tractor,

above three-point hitch. Coupler set, 1, corresponds with
control lever, 1, (Fig. 5-31), coupler set , 2, with control
lever, 2 (Fig. 5-31).

Implement hoses must be connected to each coupler set

so when respective control lever is pulled rearward,
implement raises and when pushed forward, implement
lowers. Male coupler tips (on implement hoses) must be
compatible with Tractor couplers and must also be
inserted fully and locked into Tractor couplers to operate
correctly.

FIG. 5-32
CAUTION: Always lower implement to ground, shut
off engine and relieve system pressure (by operating
control levers with engine off) before connecting or
disconnecting implement hoses.

CAUTION: Make sure all hydraulic hoses, couplers

and cylinders are in good condition before use.
Damaged equipment is dangerous.

FIGS. 5-33&5-34: Most implements require double-acting

hydraulics. Each implement cylinder will have two hoses
connected to it.

When single-acting service is required (cylinder with only

one hose), the inner coupler, 1, will be used and selector
function, 2, located at right rear of tractor, must be turned FIG. 5-33
to the left.

NOTE: For normal double-acting operation, selector

function must be turned to the right.

Disconnect lower links from implement pins. Make sure

lower links are connected together with spring, 1, to
prevent tire interference.

Take position in operator’s seat, start engine and drive

Tractor clean of implement.

DRAWBAR

FIG. 5-35: Drawbar, 1, at rear of Tractor allows pull-type

implements to be attached Tractor. Maximum vertical load
FIG. 5-34
on drawbar must not exceed 750 lbs (340kg).

CAUTION: Pulling heavy loads will require extended

braking distances. Reduce travel speed.

Make sure attachment is properly secured and safety

chain is used.

NOTE: When using three-point hitch, it may be necessary

to remove drawbar by removing clip and pin, and sliding
drawbar from bracket to improve operating clearance.
This is particularly true with mounted implements using
PTO drive.
FIG. 5-35

47
TH4330,4290,4260

ROLL OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS)

FIG. 5-36: Tractor is equipped with fold-down ROPS
which can be folded down and the Tractor functionally
used in that condition for low clearance situations such as
orchards, vineyards, barns, and chicken houses, etc.
When ROPS is lowered, seat belts must not be worn.

Always raise ROPS into the fully erect position at the

earliest possible time and then seat belts must be worn.
ROPS must be maintained in this fully raised position at
all times unless practical operation of the tractor dictates
otherwise (as described above).

How to Tilt ROPS

Remove lock levers both side, 1, and tilt the ROPS

rearward carefully.
FIG. 5-36

CAUTION: Do not weld, drill, bend or straighten

damaged ROPS. Insure all components are in correct
working order in order to provide the intended
protection.

Only original bolts and pins, or equivalent

replacements, must be used and tightened to the
correct torque value. Make sure both “hinge” joints
are properly secured.
