SECTION 2 - OPERATION

BRAKING SYSTEM

PARK BRAKE

The park brake is located on the floor just to the right of the operator’s seat. The parking brake must be engaged (pulled up) to start the tractor. A light on the warning light bar will indicate park brake engagement.

NOTE: The tractor will not start if the park brake is not engaged.

FOOT BRAKE

The foot brake pedal, 1, is located in the lower right corner of the operator’s console near the cab floor. The pedal should be depressed to bring the tractor to a stop once the clutch pedal is fully depressed.

CAUTION: KEEP THE CAB FLOOR AREA FREE FROM DEBRIS OR OBJECTS WHICH MAY OBSTRUCT THE OPERATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. KEEP THE PEDAL CLEAN AND DRY TO PREVENT YOUR FOOT FROM SLIPPING OFF THE PEDAL.

DANGER: NEVER LEAVE THE OPERATOR’S SEAT WITHOUT FIRST BRINGING THE TRACTOR TO A COMPLETE STOP USING THE FOOT BRAKE, AND THEN ACTIVATING THE PARK BRAKE.

DANGER: NEVER OPERATE THE TRACTOR IF THE FOOT OR PARK BRAKE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.

DANGER: NEVER RELY SOLELY ON THE TRANSMISSION TO HOLD THE TRACTOR STATIONARY WHEN PARKED; ALWAYS SET THE PARK BRAKE.
