6. Safe Practices for Operation

1. Differential Lock

(a) disengage
(b) engage
! WARNING ! WARNING
To prevent the tractor from overturning:
●Do not attempt to turn with the differential lock
engaged.
●Do not engage the differential lock while the
tractor is traveling at a high speed.
The differential lock is actuated to provide greater
traction when rear wheels begin to slip. Engaging the
differential lock will cause the right and left rear axles
to be locked and simultaneously rotate at a same
speed, allowing the tractor to develop maximum
traction force.
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage.
●To prevent damage to the differential gears,
NEVER engage the differential lock while the
tractor is traveling at a high speed, or when only
one wheel is rotating.
●The differential lock is designed to be used for
short durations. Its prolonged use can damage the
differential gears.

■ Engage the Differential Lock

1. Stop or slowly drive the tractor.
2. Depress the differential lock foot pedal.

■ Disengage the Differential Lock

Remove foot from the differential lock foot pedal.
IMPORTANT
●When using the differential lock, decrease the
engine speed.
●To prevent transmission damage, do not use the
differential lock when only one rear wheel is
rotating.
• If the differential lock does not disengage when
the foot is removed from the differential lock foot
pedal, lightly step on the brake pedal several
times.
