Use Brakes

P9598-UN-12SEP00

A - Brake Pedal Locking Bar

B - Brake Pedals

C - Parking Brake Lever

CAUTION: Before operating tractor on a road, lock pedals together with locking bar (A). Use brakes lightly and cautiously at transport speeds.

For field work, brake pedals (B) should NOT be locked together. Instead, apply right brake pedal lightly to assist in making sharp right-hand turns and left pedal for left-hand turns.

CAUTION: Always set parking brake before dismounting. Leaving transmission in gear with engine off WILL NOT prevent tractor from moving.

To set parking brake, lock brake pedals together with locking bar, depress brake pedals and pull up on parking brake lever (C) after coming to a complete stop. Parking brake lever keeps brake pedals down. To release lever, push down briefly on brake pedals. Lever will drop down on its own.

IMPORTANT: To prevent unnecessary wear, never “ride” the brakes by resting a foot on the pedals.

Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with brakes and weighs more than the tractor. Avoid hard braking applications. Consult implement operator's manual for recommended transport speeds.

Use additional caution when transporting towed loads under adverse conditions, and when turning or stopping on inclines.
