Page 21

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 19.

•The PTO must 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, regardless of the number of times the PTO is engaged and disengaged using the PTO switch. 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 and Taillights

Always use the headlights and taillights 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.

The headlights use two halogen bulbs per side. The placement of the bulbs provide a broad light range for safer operation of the tractor in low light conditions.

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

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

Use of headlights and taillights is also recom- mended when operating the tractor on or near road- ways to increase visibility to traffic.

Hazard Lights

Always use the flashing amber hazard lights along with the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem when operating the tractor on, or near, roadways. Also activate the hazard lights when necessary to warn others that the tractor is being operated in the area.

•To turn on the flashing hazard lights, depress the top end of the hazard light switch located to the left of the headlight switch.

•To turn off the hazard lights, depress the bottom of the light switch.

USING THE HITCH PLATE

Use only the hitch plate (See Figure 21), with the optional drawbar attachment, for towing pull-behind equipment (carts, trailers, etc.) or dragging loads.

Raise the lower links of the three point hitch to their highest position to prevent interference with the towed equipment.

IMPORTANT: When transporting pull-behind equipment on public roadways, always use a safety chain to supplement the connection between the tractor and towed equipment. The safety chain must have a strength rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of the equip- ment being towed.

USING THE THREE POINT HITCH

WARNING: Always disengage the PTO, stop the engine, and set the parking brake before dismounting the tractor to connect, disconnect, or adjust three point hitch mounted implements.

Use the rear three point hitch system to attach three point mounted implements, which are normally driven by the rear PTO. Using the position control feature of the tractor’s hydraulic lift system, the three point hitch system provides for variable positioning of the implement as well as allowing the implement to be fully raised for transport.

Read the ADJUSTMENTS section for instructions on adjusting the RH adjustable lift link, upper hitch link, and hitch chain. See Figure 21.
