SECTION 2 - OPERATION
DECELERATOR PEDAL
At the lower front of the right console is a mechanically actuated decelerator pedal, 1, which can be used to reduce engine speed when turning or while shifting. When fully depressed, engine speed will drop to a preset level. If the pedal is not fully depressed, engine speed will be reduced proportionally. When the pedal is released, engine speed will return to the previous throttle setting.
IMPORTANT: Do not release the decelerator before completing the turn. If the transmission is in a high gear, the tractor will accelerate quickly, reducing the time to correct tractor direction.
The factory presets the decelerator pedal to reduce the engine speed to 1400 RPM. See Section 3 of this manual for adjustment procedures.
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
The tractor may be factory equipped with an electronically controlled front axle differential lock. This will provide additional tractive effort on hillsides or wet ground. The switch, 1, is a three- position momentary switch located on the right console. To activate, push the front side of the switch. An indicator light will illuminate on the warning light bar. The differential lock can be locked when the tractor is moving or stopped.
IMPORTANT: Do not engage the lock when the tractor wheels are spinning or when the wheels are turning at different speeds, such as an end of the field turn. Drivetrain damage may result.
To disengage the differential lock, push the rear of the switch down until the indicator light on the warning light bar turns off. Depressing the brake pedal will also disengage the differential lock.
Disengage the differential lock when not required, such as during high speeds and road travel, turning and parking, or when additional traction is not needed.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK WHEN DRIVING THE TRACTOR ON ROADS OR STEERING MAY BE IMPAIRED.
