USING THE HYDRAULIC LIFT LEVER

The hydraulic lift system provides power for raising and positioning three point hitch and belly mounted equipment. To raise an attachment using the hydraulic lift system, the engine must be running. Generally, an attachment can be lowered with the engine running or off.

Move the lift lever forward in the slot to lower the equipment to the desired height setting. Refer to Figure 19.

Move the lift lever rearward in the slot to raise the equipment.

Move the lift lever fully forward and to the right ahead of the float lock gate to lock the lift in the float position.

ENGAGING THE PTO

WARNING: The operator must be in the seat at all times when the PTO is engaged. If the operator should leave the seat without turning off the PTO switch, the tractor’s engine will shut off.

Move the throttle handle to the mid throttle position. See Figure 20.

Push the top of the PTO switch downward to engage the PTO (See Figure 20). The PTO light on the instrument panel will come on.

Move the throttle handle to the full throttle posi- tion. When operating PTO driven attachments, observe the tachometer on the instrument panel to ensure the RPM indicator needle is within the green range on the tachometer dial.

Push the bottom of the switch downward to disengage the PTO.

IMPORTANT: Normally the PTO will not operate when the tractor is driven in the reverse direction. The PTO reverse override switch must be activated to operate the PTO while traveling in reverse.

USING THE PTO REVERSE OVERRIDE SWITCH

The PTO reverse override switch, located on the left fender, allows the PTO to operate while the tractor is traveling in the reverse direction. Refer to Figure 16.

The PTO should first be engaged using the PTO switch on the dash panel.

Depress the front of the override switch to activate the reverse override system. The light in the override switch will come on.

IMPORTANT: Once activated, the reverse override will remain activated until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. If the override switch is illuminated, the system is activated.

WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION when operating PTO driven attach- ments while traveling in the reverse direction.

LIGHTING

Headlights

Always use the headlights for after dusk and pre- dawn operation of the tractor. The lights not only illuminate the work area, but also increase the visibility of the tractor for anyone who might enter the area of operation.

To turn on the headlights, depress the top end of the headlight switch located to the left of the steering wheel.

To turn off the headlights, depress the bottom of the light switch.

Use of the headlights, along with a SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem, is also recommended when operating the tractor on or near roadways to increase visibility to traffic.
