SECTION 2 - OPERATION

DECELERATOR PEDAL

At the lower front of the right console is a

mechanically actuated decelerator pedal, 1,

which can be used to reduce engine speed when

turning or while shifting. When fully depressed,

engine speed will drop to a preset level. If the

pedal is not fully depressed, engine speed will be

reduced proportionally. When the pedal is

released, engine speed will return to the

previous throttle setting.

IMPORTANT: Do not release the decelerator

before completing the turn. If the transmission is

in a high gear, the tractor will accelerate quickly,

reducing the time to correct tractor direction.

The factory presets the decelerator pedal to

reduce the engine speed to 1400 RPM. See

Section 3 of this manual for adjustment

procedures.

DIFFERENTIAL LOCK

The tractor may be factory equipped with an

electronically controlled front axle differential

lock. This will provide additional tractive effort on

hillsides or wet ground. The switch, 1, is a three-

position momentary switch located on the right

console. To activate, push the front side of the

switch. An indicator light will illuminate on the

warning light bar. The differential lock can be

locked when the tractor is moving or stopped.

IMPORTANT: Do not engage the lock when the

tractor wheels are spinning or when the wheels

are turning at different speeds, such as an end of

the field turn. Drivetrain damage may result.

To disengage the differential lock, push the rear

of the switch down until the indicator light on the

warning light bar turns off. Depressing the brake

pedal will also disengage the differential lock.

Disengage the differential lock when not

required, such as during high speeds and road

travel, turning and parking, or when additional

traction is not needed.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE DIFFERENTIAL

LOCK WHEN DRIVING THE TRACTOR ON

ROADS OR STEERING MAY BE IMPAIRED.
