Brake Pedals (Right and Left)
To avoid personal injury:
A
Be sure to interlock the right and left pedals.
Applying only one rear wheel brake at high
speeds could cause the tractor to swerve or
roll-over.
A
Be sure brake pedals have equal adjustment
when using locked together. Incorrect or
unequal brake pedal adjustment can cause the
tractor to swerve or roll-over.
To avoid personal injury:
A
Be aware of the enhanced braking
characteristics of 4 wheel braking system.
Appropriate care should be taken during hard
braking and/or when pulling towed loads.
A
Do not make sudden braking.
An accident may occur such as by heavy towed
load shifting forward or loss of control.
A
To avoid skidding and less of steering control
when driving on icy, wet, or loose surfaces,
make sure the tractor is correctly ballasted,
operated at reduced speed, operated with front
wheel drive engaged (If equipped).

The braking characteristics are different
between two and four wheel drive. Be aware of
the difference and use carefully.
1. Before operating the tractor on the road, be sure to
interlock the right and left pedals as illustrated below.
2. Use individual brakes to assist in making sharp turns
at slow speeds (Field Operation Only). Disengage the
brake pedal lock and depress only one brake pedal.
3. Be sure brake pedals have equal adjustment when
being used locked together.

4WD Braking System [4WD model]
4WD model tractor is equipped with 4WD braking system.
When both brake pedals are applied together, the front
axle is engaged for four wheel braking regardless of the
mode selected at the 4WD switch.
When you step on the brake pedal while driving in 2WD
mode, the "4WD braking system" gets activated and the
4WD indicator lights up.
To avoid the possibility of personal injury or
property damage from machine runaway during
testing, service or repair with the rear wheels off
the ground, make sure:
A
Battery is disconnected and engine is not
started.
If it is necessary to run the engine, make sure:
A
Both front and rear wheels are off the ground
and secured with stands before starting
