●
To prevent tipping of the tractor:
• do not attempt to turn with the differential
lock engaged
• do not engage the differential lock while the
tractor is traveling at a high speed
IMPORTANT
If differential lock does not disengage after
removing foot from the differential lock pedal:
●
Depress brake pedals to equalize traction.
●
Release the differential lock pedal.
NOTE
●
Engaging the differential lock:
• locks the right and left rear axles
• the right and left rear axles simultaneously
rotate at the same speed
• the preceding action allows the tractor to
develop maximum traction force
IMPORTANT
●
To prevent damage to the differential gears,
always disengage the differential lock while
travelling at high speed.
●
The differential lock is designed to be used for
short durations.
●
Prolonged use can damage the differential
gears.
