Brake pedals
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.
The right-hand brake pedal controls the braking action of the right-hand rear wheel. The left-hand brake pedal controls
the braking action of the left-hand rear wheel.
The function of the brake pedals is identical for the HST and mechanical transmission model 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 operator's
platform and the brake pedals (2) on a mechanical transmission model tractor are located on the right-hand side of
the operator's platform.
Stopping the tractor
To stop a mechanical transmission model 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 simultaneously.
NOTE: To assist in making sharp turns at slow speed, depress the right-hand or left-hand brake pedal as required.
NOTE: Depressing the brake pedals will disengage the HST cruise control.
