•Slowly release the clutch pedal to start the tractor moving.
NOTE: If operating power driven equipment running off the PTO, the throttle must be increased to the 540 PTO mark unless otherwise specified in the equipment operator’s manual. Use the gear shift levers to select a safe travel speed. Proper travel speed will depend on the type of equipment and the condition of the terrain.
IMPORTANT: Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal. Partial engagement of the clutch will cause clutch slippage and result in premature wear of clutch components.

•Reduce the engine speed by pulling the hand throttle rearward and remove your foot from the foot throttle.
•Evenly depress both brake pedals to stop the tractor.
•Depress the clutch pedal and place the main shift lever and
•Push the position control lever forward to lower equipment to the ground.
•Interlock the brake pedals; then fully depress and hold the brake pedals.
•Pull the brake lock lever upward and hold while releasing the brake pedals to engage the parking brake.
