Cub Cadet 5254 manual Stopping The Tractor, Using The Forward And Reverse Pedals

STOPPING THE TRACTOR

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 16.

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

•Place the throttle control lever in the “SLOW” position and allow the engine to idle for about one minute.

•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 AND REVERSE PEDALS

The hydrostatic transmission provides constantly variable ground speeds within the speed rating of each (HI/LO) transmission range. The tractor speed is controlled by the forward and reverse pedals on the front of the right running board.

The forward and reverse pedals are self neutraliz- ing. The transmission and pedals return to neutral when the pedals are released and the tractor will slow to a stop. NOTE: Use the brake pedal to stop the tractor.

•To move forward, slowly depress the forward control pedal (See Figure 16) until the desired speed is achieved. The speed of the tractor is directly related to the distance the pedal is depressed.

•To move in reverse, check that the area behind is clear then slowly depress the reverse control pedal. See Figure 16.

NOTE: Do not use the forward or reverse control ped- als to change the direction of travel when the tractor is in motion. The abrupt direction change may unseat the operator and will cause premature wear in the transmission. Allow the tractor to stop before chang- ing directions.

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.

Referring to Figure 17, pull 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. Forward speed 0 to 8.0 mph.

Reverse speed 0 to 4.0 mph.

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

LOW range — Shift the lever fully rearward in slot. Forward speed 0 to 4.0 mph.

Reverse speed 0 to 2.0 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.
