Foot Brakes
The foot brake pedals, Figure 3.2, activate the rear wheel
brakes and may be operated independently, to aid
turning in confined spaces or together for normal
stopping. When operating in the field, the brake pedals
may be unlocked. However, due to the close proximity of
the pedals to one another, it is still possible to apply both
brakes together, when required.
WARNING :
For your safety, always lock the brake
pedals together when travelling at transport speeds, or
on a highway or if a trailer is attached. To lock the pedals
together, slide the latch (5) across to engage in the hole
in the underside of the right-hand pedal, as shown.
Foot Accelerator
The foot accelerator, Figure 3.2, may be used
independently of the hand throttle to control the speed of
the tractor. It is recommended that you use the foot
accelerator when driving on the highway.
NOTE :
When it is required to use the foot accelerator,
set the hand throttle to the idle position (fully forward).
Clutch
When the clutch pedal, Figure 3.2, is depressed the drive
between the engine and transmission will be
disengaged. Use the clutch pedal to transfer engine
power smoothly to the driving wheels when moving off
from a standstill.
Always depress the clutch pedal to engage or disengage
a gear or when operating transmission P.T.O.
NOTE :
Avoid resting your foot on the clutch pedal when
operating the tractor. Such action will lead to early clutch
failure.
Differential Lock
In field conditions including wheel slip, hold down the
differential lock pedal, Figure 3.2, until the lock is felt to
engage.
If conditions cause a rear wheel to spin at speed, reduce
the engine speed to idle before engaging the differential
lock.
WARNING :
Never engage the differential lock at
speeds above 5 mph (8 kmph) or when turning the
tractor. When engaged, the lock will prevent the tractor
from turning.

3.3
The transport lock is provided to lock the hydraulic
system so that it will hold the implement to its desired
height and is and mainly used during transportation.
Rotate the knob clockwise for locking and anti -
clockwise for unlocking.
Do not use or adjust pre selector knob. The tractor is
fitted with one single acting or one double acting
convertible direct control valve (DCV), so there is no
requirement of pre selector knob to operate trailer.
