Using The Brakes
Test brakes (A) with engine stopped to be sure manual brake system is functioning. (See General Maintenance and Inspection section). Press both pedals to stop tractor while disengaging the clutch. NOTE: Depressing the clutch to stop tractor equipped with AutoPowr transmission is not necessary. (See Stopping and Parking the Tractor in Operating Transmission section.) IMPORTANT: Avoid unnecessary wear on the brakes. DO NOT rest feet on the brake pedals during tractor operation. Individual brake pedals can be used to assist with slow speed off-road turning, such as hooking up to an implement. On tractors equipped with AutoPowr transmission, at low idle tractor will stop by depressing only one brake pedal. To assist slow speed turning with AutoPowr transmission, depress either brake pedal while slowly increasing engine speed until desired turn is achieved. Returning engine speed to low idle while continuing to depress one brake pedal will slow tractor to a stop |

CAUTION:
Avoid personal injury. Lock brake pedals together when operating on roads. Reduce speed if towed load weighs more than the tractor or when transporting loads under adverse conditions. Avoid hard braking applications. (See TRANSPORTING TOWED EQUIPMENT, in Transport section and Implement Manual.)
