Cub Cadet 7252 manual Stopping the Tractor, Using the FORWARD/REVERSE Pedal

Page 18

Avoid stopping when driving up a slope. If it is necessary to stop while driving up a slope, start up smoothly and carefully to reduce the possibility of flipping the tractor over backward.

STOPPING THE TRACTOR

•Fully depress the brake pedal to bring the tractor to a complete stop. Push downward on the parking brake lever and release the pedal to engage the parking brake. See Figure 15.

•Depress the rear of the PTO switch to disengage the PTO,

•Turn the ignition switch to “OFF’” and remove the key from the switch before dismounting.

•Depress the button in the center of the seat belt buckle to release the seat belt.

USING THE FORWARD/REVERSE PEDAL

The hydrostatic transmission provides constantly variable ground speeds within the speed rating of each transmission range. The tractor speed is controlled by the forward/reverse rocker pedal on the right floorboard.

The forward/reverse pedal is self neutralizing. The transmission and pedal return to neutral and the tractor stops when the pedal is released.

•To move forward, slowly depress the front of the forward/reverse pedal until the desired speed is achieved. The speed of the tractor is directly related to the distance the pedal is depressed. See Figure 15.

•To move in reverse, check that the area behind is clear then slowly depress the rear of the forward/reverse pedal.

Figure 15

•When traveling short distances with frequent changes in direction, the forward/reverse rocker pedal may be operated using the heel/toe method. Place your foot on the center section of the pedal and press downward with your toes to move forward. Press downward with your heel to move in reverse.

NOTE: Slightly more effort is needed to depress the forward/reverse pedal using the heel/toe method.

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.

HI range — Forward speed 0 to 9.6 mph. Reverse speed 0 to 4.8 mph.

Shift the lever fully forward in the slot. See Figure 16.

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

LOW range — Forward speed 0 to 5.6 mph. Reverse speed 0 to 2.8 mph.

Shift the lever fully rearward in the slot.

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