1.1 4WD braking system (4WD model)
4WD model tractor is equipped with 4WD braking
system.
WARNING
To avoid the possibility of personal injury, death or
property damage from machine runaway during
testing, service or repair with the rear wheels off
the ground, make sure:
• Battery is disconnected and engine is not
started.
If it is necessary to run the engine, make sure:
• Both front and rear wheels are off the ground
and secured with stands before starting engine.
When both brake pedals are applied together, the front
axle is engaged for 4-wheel braking regardless of the
mode selected at the 4WD switch. The 4WD indicator
light is not illuminated unless the front axle is engaged
with the selector switch.
1.2 Travelling speed limit (50 km/h model)
When the left and right brake pedal interlock is
released, the travelling speed is limited to 40 km/h.
To cancel the travelling speed limit, stop the tractor and
interlock the left and right brake pedals.
2. Parking brake
1. Before getting off the tractor, pull the parking/
secondary brake lever up to park.
To release the parking brake, depress the brake
pedal, push the release button and push the
parking/secondary brake lever down.
2. If you leave the operator’s seat without applying the
parking brake while the key switch is at “ON”
position, the parking brake OPC indicator will turn
on and the alarm buzzer will sound.
3. Once the parking brake has been applied, the
tractor sets itself in the 4-wheel drive mode. This
helps the 4 wheels to increase their gripping force
on slopes.
