21) Left and Right Brake Pedals: The brakes are only on the rear wheels. The left brake pedal activates the
brakes on the left side of the tractor and the right pedal controls the right side brakes. Since both brake pedals
are on the right side of the tractor frame, the most normal operating mode is to lock the two brake pedals
together so that both sides of the tractor brake at the same time. The brake lock (braking lock plate in Jinma
manual) is used to link the left and right pedals together. Turn the lock plate to the right to connect the two
pedals (turn left to disconnect). Connecting the pedals makes the left and right brakes work at the same time
when either pedal is pressed. Disconnecting the braking lock plate allows the left and right brakes to operate
independently. Independent Brake Pedal operation can be used to turn the tractor in a smaller radius when one
side of the brakes is pressed while the other wheels move forward. Please recognize that using the brakes
separately to turn the tractor faster places strain on the mechanical equipment of the tractor and may make some
parts wear out faster. It can also be dangerous at higher speeds as it may cause the tractor to tip over.
22) Foot Throttle Pedal: Pressing the foot
pedal down increases the fuel flow and
therefore the speed of the engine and the
tractor if it is in gear. Releasing the pedal
slows the engine (and tractor). Note: The
hand throttle overrides the foot throttle; so if
the hand throttle is set to a higher engine
RPM, then releasing the foot throttle would
not decrease the engine RPM below the hand
throttle level.
23)
20) Creeper Shift Lever: (Note: This gear does not exist on models with the shuttle shift.) On models
where it exists, it is located on the right side of the transmission channel forward of the Main Gear Shift and
near the brakes. This lever puts the tractor into “creeper” mode which is a very, very low speed. It is used if the
tractor is stuck or if you are trying to pull a very
heavy load. To shift the tractor into Creeper mode (gear range),
depress the Clutch and pull the lever back (towards the Turtle). Reverse this procedure to take the tractor out of
Creeper mode (Rabbit). Creeper gear is similar to the Hi-Lo auxiliary gear lever to achieve even lower gears
than the L (Low) gear range. It would not be used except to lower the gear ration below L (Creeper Gear should
not be used when the auxiliary gear shift lever is in “H” position).
Caution: Keep the Left and
Brake pedals securely locked
together unless you have a specific
need to operate them separately.
