WARNING: The forward/reverse pedal will not operate when the parking brake is engaged. Do not attempt to force the pedal when the parking brake is engaged; this could cause premature wear or damage to the drive linkage.

USING THE HI/LO RANGE SHIFT LEVER

WARNING: The tractor must be stopped before engaging or disengag- ing the transmission Hi/Lo range shift lever. Shifting while the tractor is in motion will cause damage to the transmission.

WARNING: Always maintain a tractor speed that allows for complete control and stability of the machine. Be aware of dangerous areas or conditions.

Push the lever to the right side of the slot to clear the shift gate, then shift the lever as follows:

HI range — Shift the lever fully forward in slot. See Figure 16.

Forward speed 0 to 11.0 mph. Reverse speed 0 to 5.5 mph.

Hi range is normally used for transport and can be used with some tractor attachments

SHIFT GATE

Figure 16

LOW range — Shift the lever fully rearward in slot. Forward speed 0 to 6.4 mph.

Reverse speed 0 to 3.2 mph.

Low range is recommended for use with most PTO driven tractor attachments. Low range must be used when climbing or descending slopes.

NEUTRAL — Shift the lever to the center of slot. Disengages the transmission drive.

Use ONLY for towing or moving the tractor when not under power.

USING THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK PEDAL

Depressing the differential lock pedal engages a mechanism in the transmission that locks the differential. This prevents the rear wheels from rotating independently of each other and provides constant power to both rear wheels when additional traction is needed.

IMPORTANT: Do not engage the differential lock when one of the rear wheels is rotating. Stop the wheel rotation and then engage the differential lock.

WARNING: When operating with the dif- ferential lock engaged, the tractor will be difficult to steer. Do not drive the tractor on roadways or at high speeds with the differential lock engaged.

Fully depress and hold the differential lock pedal to engage the transmission differential lock. Release the pedal to disengage the differential lock. See Figure 17.

NOTE: Because of the drive load on the internal engagement mechanism, releasing the differential lock pedal may not always disengage the differential lock. It may be necessary to slow the tractor, or reverse the direction of travel, to disengage the differential lock.
