Ballast tractor correctly to avoid skidding and loss of steering control. Engage front-wheel drive by using ON mode, rather than AUTO mode for four-wheel braking. IMPORTANT: Use only the AUTO or BRAKE ASSIST positions when transporting tractor. See Transport Section. Mechanical front-wheel drive can be engaged and disengaged in all gears (forward and reverse) during operation and under full load. Switch (A) has three operating positions. |
Center ON Position-engages MFWD. Indicator on display console will show engagement. Top AUTO Position. Indicator on display shows MFWD engagement. MFWD automatically disengages when pressing either brake pedal, or at speeds above 19 km/h (12 mph). MFWD automatically engages when speed reduces below 18 km/h (11 mph). MFWD engages when BOTH brake pedals are depressed at speeds above 19 km/h (12 mph). Bottom BRAKE ASSIST Position-MFWD OFF except when BOTH brake pedals are depressed at speeds above 5 km/h (3 mph). |
CAUTION:
Avoid personal injury or death. Reduce speed when driving on icy, wet, or graveled surfaces.
