Decelerator Pedal

At the lower front of the right console is the decelerator pedal (6) which can be used to reduce engine speed when turning or while shifting.. Fully depressing the decelerator pedal will reduce the engine to an idle speed of 1400 RPM.. 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.
