Note!
When working with the rotary tiller (only with steering shaft) the safety devices of the rotary till-
er and the power take-off gear shift cause the power take-off drive to switch off when shifted to
reverse gear.
Due to the existing safety device, shifting to reverse gear with the power take-off switched
on is not possible. First switch off the power take-off and then shift to reverse gear.

Differential gears
For the types 4M 500, 4K 500 a differential with lock is installed for light, flexible work. The in-
stalled differential gears can be locked to increase the traction on difficult terrains.
The handle - see figure 15 -for switching the differential lock on and off is found in the lower
right on the steering shaft. There is an interlock on the handle for locking the activated differen-
tial lock. In the design with fixed shaft and steering brake, the differential lock is operated using
a deflection lever on the right side of the shaft – see figure 15.
Switch on the differential lock - during travel
Pull the handle for the differential lock until the safety catch latches.
Switch off the differential lock
Pull the handle for the differential lock completely, press the safety catch down with your finger
while releasing the handle. Thus is the differential lock switched off again.
Information!
Use the differential lock only in 1st and 2nd gear.
Because of the improved steering capability, the differential lock should be deactivated when
driving with a trailer (particularly when driving around curves). The differential lock should only
be switched on for as long as necessary.
