De-clutching must be performed completely
in
one clean quick move-
ment with
the
engine revs. lowered
as
much
as
possible.
The brake on SATOH tractors model S-630
& S-630D
is
of internal
expansion
type
and
is
dirt and water proof.
There are
two
pedals provided on
the
right side
of
the transmission case
which are interlocked by a locking plate. The brake
is
applied by depres-
sing these pedals. To stop
the
tractor,
lower
the
engine revolutions,
depress the clutch pedal and then the brake pedal. To shorten
the
brak-
ing
distance, lower the engine revolutions quickly, depress
the
brake
pedal and then
the
clutch pedal just before
the
engine stops.
For turning
in
a confined space the right and left axles can be braked
independently by removing
the
locking plate interlocking the right and
left brake pedals. When travelling at high speed or on roads make sure
that
the right and left brake pedals are interlocked by means
of
the
lock-
ing
plate.
When starting
to
travel on roads after one
of
the
brakes has been oper-
ated more often than the
other,
check the bal ance of the right and left
brakes beforehand. It
is
also necessary to check brake balance once a week.
If
you
fail
to
check
the
brake balance or
to
interlock the right and left
brake pedals, there
is
the most likelihood
that
an accident will occur.
