tractor is traveling at a high speed.

 

 

 

The differential lock is actuated to provide greater traction when rear wheels begin to slip. Engaging the differential lock will cause the right and left rear axles to be locked and simultaneously rotate at a same speed, allowing the tractor to develop maximum traction force.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage.

●To prevent damage to the differential gears, NEVER engage the differential lock while the tractor is traveling at a high speed, or when only one wheel is rotating.

●The differential lock is designed to be used for short durations. Its prolonged use can damage the differential gears.

Engaging the Differential Lock

1.Stop or slowly drive the tractor.

2.Depress the differential lock foot pedal.

Disengaging the Differential Lock

Remove foot from the differential lock foot pedal.

IMPORTANT:

●When using the differential lock, decrease the engine speed.

●To prevent transmission damage, do not use the differential lock when only one rear wheel is rotating.

●If the differential lock does not disengage when the foot is removed from the differential lock foot pedal, lightly step on the brake pedal several times.
