Using the Cruise Control
The cruise control is optional on some models. A 3
position: Lock-Set (spring loaded), On and
Off-Unlock dash switch (Fig. 13) controls the
engagement. Cruise control maintains the traction
control position without foot pressure. Cruise control
is intended for operation in the forward direction
only. Do not use cruise control in reverse.
Engaging the Cruise Control
1. Begin driving tractor: Refer to Driving Forward
or Backward, Page 13. While holding your foot
steady on the traction control, push the cruise
control switch (Fig. 13) to the “LOCK”-“SET”
position.
