OPERATION
9. Reinstall the P.T.O. shaft cap when the P.1.0.-
driven equipment is disconnected from the
tractor or when the P.T.O. is not being used
WARNING: To avoid inadvertent
movement of P.T.O. implement,
disengage P.T.O. after each use.
TOWING THE TRACTOR
To tow your tractor, place the transmission gearshift
levers in neutral Do not exceed 1 2 mph (20 kph) Do
not tow your tractor to start it
If the tractor is to be moved any great distance, use
a solid tow bar and pull the tractor at a speed not to
exceed 12mph (20kph).
WARNING: For safety reasons, towing
the tractor on the highway is not
recommended. Also, for safety
reasons, never attempt to start the
engine by towing.
OPERATLNG THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
The differential lock is engaged by depressing the
pedal located on the right side or left side (with
optional H.S.T.) of the rear axle centre housing,
Figure 26. Depressing the pedal locks both final
drive pinion gear shafts together, preventing one
wheel from rotating independently of the other. The
lock should be used to obtain additional traction
from the opposite wheel whenever one wheel begins
to slip in wet or loose soil.
Do not engage the differential lock when driving the
tractor on the highway or when ground speed is
above 5 mph (8 kph).
WARNING: Do not engage the
differential lock when turning the
tractor. If the lock is engaged when
turning, a loss of steering control will
result.
Figure 26 - Differential Lock Pedal
To operate the differential lock, depress and hold the
pedal down until the lock is positively engaged. It is
best to engage the differential lock while the wheels
are turning slowly to minimise shock loads to the
drive line. If a wheel spins at high speed, as on ice,
reduce engine speed to idle before engaging the
lock, or damage may occur. The differential lock is
released by releasing the pedal.
NOTE: In some instances the lock may remain
engaged after the pedal is released. This may occur
if one rear wheel tends to turn at a faster speed than
the other. Should this happen, the lock may be
disengaged by either of two ways
• Decrease the drawbar pull by raising or
disengaging the implement so that neither
wheel tends to slip.
OR
•
Rapidly apply and release a light braking load
to the slipping rear wheel.
