8. OPERATING THE TRACTOR
Ex2900 / 3200 Operator's Manual
1. Differential Lock
(A) Differential lock foot pedal
Avoid injury. 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.
The differential lock is actuated to provide greater traction
when rear wheels begin to slip. Engaging the differential
lock will cause the right and left rear axles to be locked
and simultaneously rotate at a same speed, allowing the
tractor to develop maximum traction force.
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage.
●To prevent damage to the differential gears, NEVER
engage the differential lock while the tractor is traveling
at a high speed, or when only one wheel is rotating.
●The differential lock is designed to be used for short
durations. Its prolonged use can damage the differential
gears.
■ Engaging the Differential Lock
1. Stop or slowly drive the tractor.
2. Depress the differential lock foot pedal.
■ Disengaging the Differential Lock
Remove foot from the differential lock foot pedal.
IMPORTANT:
●When using the differential lock, decrease the engine
speed.
●To prevent transmission damage, do not use the
differential lock when only one rear wheel is rotating.
●If the differential lock does not disengage when the foot
is removed from the differential lock foot pedal, lightly
step on the brake pedal several times.
