Parking brake
A hand lever (1) controls the parking brake. This acts,
via a series of linkages, directly on the brake discs and
is fully independent of the foot brakes.
Parking brake engagement
- Fully depress the brake pedals.
- Pull the lever completely to operate the parking brake (1).
- Release the brake pedals and make sure that the tractor
is stopped.
- If this is not the case, pull the parking brake lever with
higher force.
When the parking brake is engaged, the warning lamp on
the instrument cluster will illuminate when the key switch
is turned to ON.
NOTE: The indicator light in the instrument panel lights
up when the parking brake is engaged, independently
of the force used for the engagement.
To start the tractor, shift into gear and release the parking
brake.
Parking brake release
- Fully depress the brake pedals.
- Pull the lever lightly (1), push down the button (2), let the
lever down and release the button.
IMPORTANT: Driving the tractor with the parking
brake partially engaged will cause damage to internal
transmission components. Make sure the brake is fully
off.
NOTE: For the Xtrashift transmission with Park-Lock (op-
tional) see description in “Stopping the Xtrashift tractor
by means of the Park Lock control lever” (3).
