Differential lock
(Fig.5-26)
The rear axle differential has a locking device to be en-
gaged whenever one of the rear wheels is slipping due to
lack of grip. To lock the differential, slow down and briefly
press the button (1) on the right side.
The differential lock engagement is indicated on the
instrument cluster by the lighting of a yellow indicator.
NOTE: For better operation, the differential should be
locked before wheels are slipping too much. Do not
engage the lock while one of the wheels is actually slip-
ping. Always depress the clutch pedal before locking the
differential.
The differential must remain locked as long as the drive
wheels regain a uniform grip. Disengagement is achieved
by simply pressing one or both brake pedals.
WARNING: Disengage the diff lock when you
need to turn the tractor. Disengage the lock
when driving on a road.
Two-wheel drive
(Fig.5-27)
The purpose of 4-wheel drive is to increase wheel grip,
particularly on loose, mud or slippery ground.
The switch (1) on the right-hand side, is used to engage/
disengage the four-wheel drive.
The 4WD engagement is indicated on the instrument
cluster by the lighting of a yellow indicator:
Both manoeuvres can be carried out when the tractor is on
the move, when driving on the straight and never on load.
NOTE: Front drive should only be engaged when strictly
necessary. If maximum is not required, specially on hard-
bottomed roads, it is advisable to disengage the front drive
to avoid unnecessary tyre wear.
