S. Differential Lock Pedal
Figure 8
Located at the front of the left running board, the
differential lock pedal engages the transmission
differential lock.
The differential lock is used to gain additional trac-
tion when operating the tractor on wet or loose soil.
When the pedal is depressed the rear wheels of the
tractor are prevented from rotating independently of
one another.
WARNING: When operating with the
differential lock engaged, the tractor
will be difficult to steer. Do not drive
the tractor on roadways or at high
speeds with the differential lock
engaged.
NOTE: Disengagement of the differential lock is
recommended prior to turning the tractor on grass
or other maintained surfaces — tire damage to the
turf could occur.
T. Choke Control Knob
The choke knob controls the position of the engine
choke. Pull the knob out to choke the engine; push
the knob in to open the choke.

U. Hazard Light Switch
Figure 10
The hazard light switch is a rocker type switch
located to the left of the steering wheel on the dash
panel. Push the top of the hazard light switch
downward to activate the flashing amber lights.
WARNING: Always activate the flash-
ing hazard lights when operating the
tractor on, or near, roadways.
V. Headlight Switch
Figure 11
The headlight switch is a rocker type switch located
to the left of the steering wheel on the dash panel.
Push the top of the headlight switch downward to
turn on the headlights and instrument panel gauge
lights.
W. Foldable ROPS (Rollover Protective Structure)
The ROPS is installed to prevent or reduce injuries
to the operator should the tractor accidentally
overturn. The foldable feature allows the ROPS to
be lowered when operating in areas with low
overhead clearance. The protection provided by the
ROPS is minimized if the seat belt is not used, and
is eliminated when in the folded position.
