Rear diff lock
The tractor is equipped with a rear diff lock which should be used
for ploughing work or if one of the two driving wheels possesses
insufficient grip owing to muddy, rugged or slippery ground.
The diff lock is controlled mechanically with pedal C. It is
disengaged by releasing the pedal.
To get the most out of the device, engage the differential lock
before the wheels begin to slip. Do not engage the lock while one
wheel is already slipping.
Only use the diff lock with the low and standard speed gears
and after having previously slowed the engine rate.
Do not use the diff lock near or round bends.
If the diff lock fails to release, reduce the engine rate, stop
the machine and release it by moving the steering wheel.
