5.1 Differential Lock
Differential Lock is present on the right side of the
platform below the main gear lever.
In field conditions including wheel slip, hold down the
differential lock pedal, until the lock is felt to engage. If
conditions cause a rear wheel to spin at different speed,
reduce the engine speed to idle before engaging the
differential lock.

5.2 Foot Accelerator
The foot accelerator may be used independently of the
hand throttle to control the speed of the tractor. It is
recommended that you use the foot accelerator when
driving on the highway.
NOTE : When it is required to use the foot accelerator,
set the hand throttle to the idle position (fully forward).

5.3 Foot Brakes
The foot brake pedals activate the rear wheel brakes
and may be operated independently to aid turning in
confined spaces or together for normal stopping. When
operating in the field, the brake pedals may be
unlocked. However, due to the close proximity of the
pedals to one another, it is still possible to apply both
brakes together, when required.
