TARAL VST 818, User Instruction Manual

Page: 21 / 60

When disengaging clutch you are advised also to lower the
engine speed. The life of the clutch depends on the operating
habit of the user. The clutch works in combination with the
PTO.
FOOT SPEED CONTROL PEDAL
CAUTION
Lowering the speed, when the tractor is overloaded, by
half engaging the clutch or changing gear at high speed
will damage the clutch lining. Disengaging must be per-
formed completely in one clean quick movement with the
engine revolution lowered as much as possible.
NOTE
When the tractor is not used, the clutch should be dis-
engaged by depressing the clutch pedal and the clutch
lever should be hooked so that clutch linings will not get
stuck.
BRAKE
Brake pedal
Foot speed control pedal
The foot speed control pedal is installed on the right side of the
step. When the hand throttle lever is in the idling position, the
engine speed can be controlled freely within the
range by depressing the pedal.
NOTE
When the hand speed control lever is in a high rev.
position, the foot speed control pedal also moves into
the position for those revs. When this is done the revo-
lution cannot be controlled by means of the foot pedal
within the range below the rev. set by hand lever.
The brake is of internal expansion type and is dirt and water
proof. There are two pedals provided on the right side of the
transmission case which are linked together by a plate. The
brake is operated by depressing these pedals.
To stop the tractor, lower the engine revolution, depress the
clutch pedal and then depress the brake pedal. For turning in a
confined space the right and left axles can be braked inde-
pendently by removing the plate linking the right and left brake
pedals. When travelling at high speed or on roads make sure
that the right and left brake pedals are linked by means of the
locking plate. When starting to travel on roads after one of the
brakes has been operated more often than the other, check the
balance of the right and, left brakes beforehand. It is neces-
sary to check brake balance once a week. If you fail to check the
brake balance to link the right and left brake pedals, there is
every likelihood that an accident will occur.
POWER TAKE OFF
WARNING
While travelling on roads, be sure to link the both right and left
brake pedals.
