4 . OPERATION 4.6 - BRAKES 4.7 - DIFFERENTIAL LOCK The differential lock is used to prevent the rear wheels from slipping in relation to one another and thus limits tractor wheelslip during field work. CAUTION: During manoeuvres, turning is difficult with the differentials locked. Z3A-1305-11-04 4 Z2-410-05-03-A 5 Fig. 26 9 DANGER: When driving on the road, the two brake pedals must be locked together (Fig. 26). Only the foot throttle should be used, and the hand throttle lever must be in neutral.
4 . OPERATION 4.8 - FOUR WHEEL DRIVE 4.8.1 - When the front axle is engaged, the front wheels are driven. This function is strongly advised for field work to keep wheelslip to a minimum. The purpose of the optional suspended front axle is to increase operator comfort through improved shock absorbency when driving the tractor on the road, coupled with increased stability at higher speeds by better tyre contact with the ground. The front axle suspension can be activated and deactivated by a switch ref. 1.
4 . OPERATION 4.9 - SUSPENDED CAB 4.11 - WHEELSLIP CONTROL Cab suspension flexibility can be adjusted depending on different comfort requirements (road or field work).

7 . ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS 7.
7 . ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS 7.1 - ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS • Rear wheel weights: 1 to 4 external wheel weights • Front weights: 6x45kg • Centre weight: 450 kg The centre weight is not compatible with the front PTO. IMPORTANT: Removal is not easy and the weight must remain fitted. • Front hitch: 3T5 or 5T (Chapter 7.2). • Rear linkage (Chapter 4). • Rear window wiper and washer. • Passenger seat. • Front fenders. • PTO - different types (chapter 4). • Fittings for radio (loudspeakers, aerial and wiring).
7 . ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS 7.2 - FRONT LINKAGE 7.2.1 - General The front linkage should be used in compliance with safety instructions. It should be used exclusively for agricultural purposes, i.e. for hitching mounted and pushed agricultural machinery. The front linkage can carry or push an implement. The design of the linkage and tractor allows the use of heavy implements, but it is advisable to avoid submitting the linkage to excessive loads.
7 . ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS Apply the following procedure before use: Before using the external controls, activate the Joystick (indicator light 2 depending on model Fig. 4, Fig. 5 off) and move the rear linkage switch to Neutral or Lower position. The SMS controls are locked (indicator light permanently lit) every time the external controls have been used. To use the cab controls again, activate the joystick (indicator light off).
7 . ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS 7.2.3.1 - Load allowed by the tyres The load allowed by the tyres depends on their inflation pressure, maximum travel speed and the torque to be transmitted. In general, the greater the load the tyre must support, the greater its volume should be. IMPORTANT: This is the most common factor limiting front axle capacity. Tyre manufacturers offer charts detailing loads allowed for a tyre type depending on operating conditions.
7 . ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS Change hydraulic feed hoses in poor condition as a preventive measure, even if there is no leak (danger of bursts during use). Breakdowns and accidents always cost more. • Lubrication See section 5.6. 7.3 - "ZUIDBERG" FRONT POWER TAKE-OFF Fig. 9: This PTO functions hydraulically in a separate, independent system; the entire system is cooled by an oil cooler. 7.3.
7 . ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS The cab control activates a solenoid valve placed close to the front PTO unit; this valve controls the PTO clutch and brake. The pressure at the valve inlet is 17 bar (246.57 lbf/in²) 7.3.3 - In addition to taking good care of equipment during use, it should undergo regular maintenance. This helps ensure manufacture quality performance and reliability for a number of years. Regularly check the tightness of screws, especially during the first few operations.
