Operation (Continued)

To stop the engine:

•Move the throttle lever to “SLOW” and idle with the PTO control disengaged for approximately 15 seconds.

•Turn the ignition switch of “OFF”.

•Remove the key before leaving the tractor.

Operating the Transmission

Use slow engine and transmission speeds until you know how to operate the tractor safely.

DO NOT SHIFT TRANSMISSION GEARS WHILE THE FORWARD OR REVERSE CLUTCHES ARE ENGAGED OR THE TRACTOR IS MOVING. This will damage the gears. Always place the direction control pedal in “NEUTRAL” and bring the tractor to a complete stop before moving the gear or range selectors.

To move in a forward direction:

•Start the engine and move the throttle to give the desired engine speed.

•Put the range and gear selectors in the positions that will produce the desired speeds. See section 7 for ground speeds produced.

•Move the direction control pedal forward. As the tractor increases speed, push the pedal until it locks into position. If the pedal is not pushed all the way forward, slippage can damage the forward clutch. USE CAUTION WHILE LEARNING TO

OPERATE THE DIRECTION CONTROL PEDAL.

NOTE: The operator must be in the seat to operate

the direction control pedal. If the operator leaves the seat with the direction control pedal in the “Forward” position, the engine will stop.

To move in a reverse direction:

•Follow the first two steps above.

•Push down firmly on the bottom of the direction control pedal. The control pedal does not lock into a reverse position. You must continue to push down

firmly to continue reverse travel. The pedal will return to “Neutral” upon release.
