When both brake pedals are applied together, the front axle is engaged for 4-wheel braking regardless of the mode selected at the 4WD switch. When you step on the brake pedal while driving in 2WD mode, the "4WD braking system" gets activated and the 4WD indicator lights up. To avoid personal injury or death: A Be sure to interlock the right and left pedals. Applying only one rear wheel brake at high speeds could cause the tractor to swerve or roll-over. A Be sure brake pedals have equal adjustment when using locked together. Incorrect or unequal brake pedal adjustment can cause the tractor to swerve or roll-over.
To avoid the possibility of personal injury, death or property damage from machine runaway during testing, service or repair with the rear wheels off the ground, make sure: A Battery is disconnected and engine is not started. If it is necessary to run the engine, make sure: A Both front and rear wheels are off the ground and secured with stands before starting engine. To avoid personal injury or death: A Be aware of the enhanced braking characteristics of 4 wheel braking system. Appropriate care should be taken during hard braking and/or when pulling towed loads. A Do not make brake suddenly. An accident may occur as a result of a heavy towed load shifting forward or loss of control.
A To avoid skidding and less of steering control when driving on icy, wet, or loose surfaces, make sure the tractor is correctly ballasted, operated at reduced speed, operated with front wheel drive engaged (If equipped). A The braking characteristics are different between 2 and 4-wheel drive. Be aware of the difference and use carefully.
