Brake Operation

P9598A-UN-12DEC08

LV15990-UN-15AUG12

OOS shown, others similar

A - Brake Pedal Locking Bar

B - Brake Pedals

C - Secondary 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 apply secondary brake before dismounting. Leaving transmission in gear with engine off WILL NOT prevent tractor from moving.

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.
