1. PARKING BRAKE
The parking brake, 1, uses a conventional lever to
operate brake discs located on the differential input
shaft. The lever is located to the left of the driver’s
seat. See “Brakes” for details.
NOTE: A 2-minute pulsating audible alarm will sound
in unison with a flashing parking brake lamp to
remind the operator to apply the parking brake if the
operator leaves the seat without applying the parking
brake.
2. INCHING PEDAL
The inching pedal, 2, is installed in place of the clutch
pedal found on tractors with conventional transmis-
sions. The inching pedal operates like a clutch, for
safe, accurate positioning of the tractor when
attaching implements or operating in confined
spaces, etc.
Depressing the pedal interrupts power flow from the
engine to the rear axle. Slowly releasing the pedal
restores power flow. See “Transmission” for details.
3. LEFT WHEEL FOOT BRAKE PEDAL
The left foot brake, 3, may be operated independent-
ly, to aid turning in confined spaces, or together for
normal stopping. When operating in the field it is
advised that the brake pedals be unlocked. See
“Brakes” for details.
WARNING
Always lock the brakes together when traveling
on the highway, or if a hydraulically braked trailer
is attached. Never use the brakes to aid turning
at high speed.
4. BRAKE LOCKING PLATE
To lock the brake pedals together, position the
locking plate, 4, so it engages the slot in the right foot
pedal as shown. See “Brakes” for details.
5. RIGHT WHEEL FOOT BRAKE PEDAL
The right foot brake, 5, may be operated
independently, to aid turning in confined spaces, or
together for normal stopping. When operating in the
field it is advised that the brake pedals be unlocked.
See “Brakes” for details.
6. FOOT THROTTLE OR DECELERATOR
The foot throttle, 6, controls engine speed. It may be
used independent of the hand throttle to control
engine speed and is recommended for use when
traveling on the highway. This pedal may also be
programmed as a decelerator control. See dealer for
programming this feature.
NOTE: When ever the foot throttle is to be used, set
the hand throttle to the idle position.
