Driving Downhill; Operation Of The Diff Lock - Zetor UTILIX HT Series Operator's Manual

Driving downhill

Use the engine's ability to brake when traveling downhill.
Never rely on the brakes only and never travel downhill with the gears in neutral.
Caution: When operating in hilly terrain the risk of the rollover is increased substantially,
please drive with extra care. When towing trailers in hilly terrain ensure that they are equipped with
brakes, use a lower gear to get maximum engine braking and do not change gears on a down hill run.

Operation of the diff lock

Although the differential lock is a very useful thing, caution is required when using it, as misuse can lead to
hazardous situations.
The differential lock should only be used in situations where one of the rear wheels loses traction.
Warning: Use low engine revolutions when using the diff lock. If the diff lock does not release
after removing the foot from the pedal use the left and right brake pedals in turn to release it. Do not
try to engage or use the diff lock on tight turns as serious damage can result.
