Service brakes

WARNING
Loss of control hazard!
Always reduce the traveling speed and use the steering wheel while you make a turn. When you oper-
ate the machine at high speeds, never attempt to make sharp turns by using the turning brake pedals.
If you use the individual brakes at high speeds, the machine could become machine unstable.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Brake pedals
The right brake pedal controls the braking action of the
right rear wheel. The left brake pedal controls the braking
action of the left rear wheel.
The function of the brake pedals are identical for the Hy-
drostatic Transmission (HST) and mechanical transmis-
sion tractors except for the location of the pedals. The
brake pedals (1) on a HST model tractor are located on
the left-hand side of the operators platform and the brake
pedals (2) on a mechanical transmission tractor are lo-
cated on the right-hand side of the operators platform.
Stopping the tractor
To stop a mechanical transmission tractor, depress both
brake pedals and the clutch pedal simultaneously.
To stop a HST model tractor, release the HST forward or
reverse pedal and depress both brake pedals simultane-
ously.
NOTE: To assist in making sharp turns at slow speed,
depress the right or left brake pedal as required.
NOTE: Depressing the brake pedals will disengage the
HST cruise control function.
Brake pedal lock
The brake pedal connecting pin (3) is used to secure the
brake pedals together. Lock the pedals together when-
ever the tractor is operated at high speeds or when the
tractor is used on the highway.
