Section 3 - Operation
Tractor Operation
Using the deceleration pedal (4) in cruise mode works the same as moving the throttle handle.. If the decelerator pedal causes the engine speed to decrease past the cruise setting, the cruise speed will decrease as well.. When the decelerator pedal is released, the cruise RPM will return to the specified setting.. It is not possible to use the “+” button to increase the cruise setting higher than the current throttle position.
Exiting Cruise Mode - Pressing the “OFF” button (2) exits cruise mode and returns to the normal engine speed for the current throttle position.. The cruise function can be used in this way for
Stopping the Tractor
1.Gradually slow down the tractor.. Set the throttle as low as possible..
2.Disengage the clutch, apply the brake and put the controls into neutral..

4.Shut down the engine and remove the key.. Turn all electrical accessories OFF..
5.Ensure that the parking brake is engaged before exiting the tractor..
IMPORTANT: If the engine has overheated, allow it to idle an extended length of time to reduce the temperature. If the temperature does not return to normal or the coolant level warning lamp is ON, shut down the tractor immediately.
