GEAR
Steering Wheel and Column
The steering column may be adjusted for tilt and
telescope to provide a comfortable operating
position.
Steering Wheel Tilt Control
To tilt the steering wheel, pull the tilt control lever
(1) upward. Position the steering wheel at the desired
angle and lock in position by releasing the control lever.
The steering wheel can be tilted upward to the top
stop to allow easy exit from the seat.
Steering Wheel Telescopic Adjustment
To telescope the steering wheel rotate the center
locking knob (2) counterclockwise and unlock the
steering column. Slide the steering wheel up or down
to the desired position and lock the column in place
by rotating the locking knob (2) clockwise.
IMPORTANT: Your tractor is equipped with hydrostatic
power steering. Never hold the steering wheel against
either of the articulation stops for more than 10
seconds or for more than a total of 10 seconds in any
one minute. Failure to observe this precaution may
result in damage to the steering system components.
Parking Brake
The parking brake (3) is located on the floor to the
right of the operator’s seat. To engage the parking
brake, pull the lever up. To disengage, raise the lever
up slightly, then depress button (4) and push the lever
down.
CAUTION: THE PARKING BRAKE MUST BE
ENGAGED BEFORE THE OPERATOR LEAVES THE
SEAT.
NOTE: A two-minute pulsating audible alarm will
sound with a flashing parking brake lamp to remind
the operator to engage the parking brake if the tractor
engine is stopped without the parking brake applied.
The parking brake indicator lamp will illuminate when
the parking brake is applied.
IMPORTANT: To prevent the tractor from being driven
with the parking brake applied a flashing “P” will be
displayed in the transmission LCD of the EIC (5) and
the parking brake warning lamp will flash along with a
continuous audible alarm. Tractors equipped with the
CAT TA22 transmission require that the parking brake
be engaged before the engine will start.
