Using the Cruise Control
The cruise control is a switch (Fig. 21) on the right
fender that maintains a set traction control position
without foot pressure. The cruise control only
operates when moving forward.

Engaging the Cruise Control
1. Begin driving the tractor; refer to Driving
Forward or Backward, page 18. While holding
your foot steady on the traction control pedal,
push the cruise control switch (Fig. 21) to the
“SET” position. This locks the traction control
pedal in position and your foot can then be
removed from the traction control. A constant
pedal position will be maintained.
2. The cruise control has a “speed–up” feature: If
you initially set it to any speed other than full
speed, you can speed up with your foot on the
traction pedal for as long as you wish. When
you release the traction pedal, the pre–selected
cruise speed resumes automatically .
Disengaging the Cruise Control
1. While holding your foot steady on the traction
control, move the cruise control switch (Fig. 10)
to the “OFF” position.
2. This unlocks the traction control. You must now
use the traction control to move forward.
3. For quick stops, just press the brake pedal. This
automatically disengages the cruise control and
applies the brake at the same time.
IMPORTANT: If you accidentally pr
ess the
cruise contr ol while the engine is running and
you are not moving, the machine will
subsequently operate at partial speed in
forward and will not operate in reverse.
To correct this situation, pr
ess the cruise
control switch to “OFF,” or press the brake
pedal to disengage the cruise control.
