L. TURNING BRAKE PEDALS
CAUTION
A
Use the two turning brake pedals only at low
speeds to maintain control of the tractor
when using rear mounted equipment.
The two turning brake pedals are used for individual
braking of the rear wheels to aid in turning the tractor
in soft soii conditions. (See Figure 7.) Depress the
outside turning brake pedal to slow or stop the right
rear tractor wheei; depress the inside turning brake
pedal to slow or stop the left rear tractor wheel. The
tractor will turn in the direction of the wheel that is
slowed or stopped.
NOTE
Turning brake pedais must be latched
together when operating the tractor in trans­
port speeds.
The turning brake iock is located in the top edge of the
outside turning brake pedal (see Figure 7) and is used
to lock the two turning brake pedals together to pro­
vide simultaneous braking to both rear wheels when
the turning brake pedals are depressed. To lock the
pedals together, pivot the lock and engage it in the slot
on the inside turning brake pedai. For individual brake
action, pivot the lock into the storage slot in the out­
side turning brake pedai.
if the turning brake pedals are not locked together and
the single brake pedal is used, only the left rear tractor
wheel is slowed or stopped.

WARNING
Remove the key from the tractor when the
tractor is not in use to prevent accidentai
