Controls and Instruments
4. Brake pedals
WARNING: ALWAYS latch the pedals
together when not being used for
turning and close maneuvering. A
rollover could result in personal injury.
The foot brake system is mechanically operated. The
two pedals (2,Fig. 30) can be used independently to
aid turning in confined spaces or can be latched (1)
together to provide a master pedal for normal braking.
For independent brakes, disengage the latch. The
inner pedal will then act on the left-hand wheel and
the outer pedal will act on the right-hand wheel. For
details of operation.
5. Differential lock pedal
The differential lock (2, Fig. 31) mechanically locks
the rear axle shafts together so that both wheels turn
together. This is an especially important aid when
operating in muddy conditions as it provides increased
traction and prevents needless tire wear. For details
of operation.
6. Hydraulic control quadrant
These levers (1, Fig.31) control the action of the
tractor linkage. For details of the hydraulic control
quadrant operation see Operation section.
7. Power take-off control lever
To engage the live Power Take-off depress the clutch
pedal fully and move the lever backwards (forwards
on four wheel drive tractors with IPTO). To disengage
the drive, depress the clutch pedal fully and move
the lever to the central, neutral position. For details
of operation see Operation section.
NOTE: Tractors are fitted with a neutral start switch
that operates in conjunction with the Power Take- off
lever: The Power Take-off lever must be placed in
the neutral position to engage the switch before the
engine can be started.
8. Parking brake lever
The parking brake acts on the tractor rear wheels.
To engage the brake, press the footbrake pedals
down and pull the hand lever up. To release the
parking brake, press the footbrake pedals down then
press the button on the end of the lever and push
the lever down.
9. Clutch pedal
The clutch pedal travels through two stages. The
initial movement - the extent of which is made
apparent by a distinct increase in pedal pressure
disengages the transmission drive. Additional
downward movement disconnects the drive to the
Power Take -off shaft. On tractors fitted with
Independent Power Take-off (IPTO) the clutch pedal
is single stage, engaging and disengaging the drive
to the transmission only.
