Cab Controls & Instruments
Foot Brake
The foot brake pedal (5) 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 engaging THE PARKing BRAKE.
DANGER: NEVER OPERATE THE TRACTOR IF THE FOOT OR PARKing BRAKE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
DANGER: NEVER RELY SOLELY ON THE TRANSMISSION TO HOLD THE TRACTOR STATIONARY WHEN PARKED; ALWAYS engage THE PARKing BRAKE.

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.
