Operation Description

NOTE: When driving on a hard road, the front wheel tires will wear rapidly and the left and right sides of tire
tread patterns will be worn unevenly. For this reason, it is a good practice to switch the left and right tires on
occasion.
2.11 Tractor Braking
2.11.1 Tractor Braking
1. Reduce throttle, step on the clutch pedal, and then step on the brake to gradually stop the tractor.
2. In an emergency, step on the clutch and brake pedal simultaneously. Never step on the brake without
stepping on the clutch. This can cause damage to the friction plate and stall the engine.
3. During braking with a trailer, the length of the hanging rod of the brake valve needs to be adjusted so that
the trailer brakes first, and then the tractor engine.
2.11.2 Left/Right Brake Pedal Interlock
When the tractor is used on the road, lock both the left and right brake pedals together with the lock plate.
WARNING:
1. Check for proper brake function before operating the tractor. Brake failures can result in accidents,
damage and seriously bodily injury.
2. When the tractor is running on the road, the left and right brake pedals should be interlocked in order
to avoid the side-slipping of the tractor. Side-slipping can cause a rollover.
2.12 Stopping the Tractor and Engine Shutdown Procedure
1. Throttle down to decrease the engine speed.
2. Step on the clutch pedal, then the brake pedal and engage the parking brake. When the tractor stops
moving, put the gearshift in neutral. The auxiliary shift lever (high/low gear range selector) and the shuttle
shift lever (forward and reverse) can be left where they are.
3. Release the clutch and brake pedals.
4. Pull out the fuel shutoff cable knob, which stops the fuel pump from supplying fuel to the engine.
The engine will stop.
5. Turn the starting switch key to the OFF position and shut down all power to the tractor.
6. Push in the fuel shutoff cable knob, to enable to next engine start.
