DIFFERENTIAL LOCK [if installed]
When operating in slippery or muddy ground condi-
tions the differential lock may be engaged to provide
better traction.

ately depress the differential lock pedal. Now both
traction wheels will turn at the same speed. Keep the
pedal depressed until the machine has passed the
obstacle.
Release the pedal to disengage the differential lock.

pedal depressed.

bine to allow engagement of the differential
lock.
