4.18 Use in paddy fields
When using the tractor in water-logged soil or in paddy fields where the water level could rise above
the height of the PTO shaft, ask your dealer for instructions on all necessary waterproofing and sealing
measures. If such measures are not taken, the guarantee could be rendered invalid.
4.19 Service brake
The main brakes are operated by means of two pedals (1-Fig.4-10), one for each rear wheel.
Braking on one side assists steering in tight maneuvers. By locking rear wheel on the inside of
curve, you can virtually turn the tractor around on its own axis. For simultaneous braking during
normal use and for on road use, simply lock the two pedals
together with the special brake coupling lock (2-Fig.4-10).
WARNING: Always keep the brake pedals coupled for on-
road driving to ensure simultaneous braking on both rear
wheels. Never use the brakes independently when driving
on public roads.
WARNING: If you ever notice the brakes becoming less
effective, identify the cause immediately and repair. When
working on slopes avoid using the brakes as much as
possible and select a lower gear in order to use engine
braking.
