Use Brake Pedals


Using Brake Pedals as Driving Brake

Avoid injury! Using unlocked brakes to stop the machine at high speeds may cause accidental turning or tipping.

  • Lock pedals together when not using the turn brakes or for road travel or transport.
  • Slow down before making a turn.

    C - Right Turn Brake Pedal

    Rotate brake pedal lock (A).

    • HST—Counterclockwise until it locks into the left turn brake pedal (B).
    • PRT—Clockwise until it locks into the right turn brake pedal (C).



  2. Depress either brake pedal to slow or stop the machine.

    • With latch down, brakes should stop machine in a straight line.


Using Brake Pedals to Assist in Turning

Avoid damage! Do not apply turn brakes while an implement is engaged with the ground. Damage to the 3-point hitch and implement may occur.

Turn brake pedals can be used to make tighter turns and may reduce unnecessary backing.

Rotate brake pedal lock (A).

  • HST—Clockwise until it stops against right turn brake pedal (C).
  • PRT—Counterclockwise until it stops against left turn brake pedal (B).

The brake pedals will now function independently.

  • To make a tighter left turn, depress left turn brake pedal (B) while turning to the left.
  • To make a tighter right turn, depress right turn brake pedal (C) while turning to the right.
