Using the Cruise Control
The cruise control is optional on this machine. A 3
position: Set-Lock (spring loaded), On and Off-Unlock
dash switch (Fig. 15) controls the engagement. Cruise
control maintains the traction control position without foot
pressure. Cruise control is intended for operation in the
forward direction only. Do not use cruise control in
reverse.
Engaging the Cruise Control
1. Begin driving tractor: Refer to Driving Forward or
Backward, Page 17. While holding your foot steady on
the traction control, push the cruise control switch
(Fig. 15) to the set–lock position.

Disengaging the Cruise Control
