Section 3 - Operation
Tractor Operation
Using the deceleration pedal (4) in cruise mode
works the same as moving the throttle handle. If the
decelerator pedal causes the engine speed to decrease
past the cruise setting, the cruise speed will decrease
as well. When the decelerator pedal is released, the
cruise RPM will return to the specified setting.
It is not
possible to use the “+” button to increase the cruise
setting higher than the current throttle position.
Exiting Cruise Mode - Pressing the “OFF” button (2)
exits cruise mode and returns to the normal engine
speed for the current throttle position. The cruise
function can be used in this way for two-speed
applications. The throttle position for high speed, the
cruise setting for low speed.
