Using Mixed Control — In draft control, when draft
decreases, the implement automatically lowers to
increase draft. However, the implement some-
times lowers too much. To limit the degree the
implement can be lowered, set the position control
lever at the lowest working depth desired for the
implement; then lower the draft control lever to the
point where the implement is at the desired depth.
This stops the implement from going too deep and
also controls the pull to prevent loss of traction and
ground speed.
Brake Pedal Lock
The brake pedal lock is located on the right brake
pedal. Flip the lock counterclockwise so it engages
the bracket on the left brake pedal to interlock both
brake pedals. See Figure 18.
