OPERATION

OPERATION

BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always set the parking brake and/or set the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling. Never dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only.

5. STARTING THE TRACTOR

The operator must have a complete understanding of the placement, function, and operational use of all tractor controls before starting the tractor. Review the tractor operator’s manual and consult an authorized dealer for tractor operation instructions if needed.

Essential Tractor Controls:

•Locate the light control lever.

•Locate the engine shut off control.

•Locate the brake pedals and the clutch.

•Locate the PTO control.

•Locate the 3-point hitch control lever.

•Locate the hydraulic remote control levers. Before starting the tractor ensure the following:

•Conduct all pre-start operation inspection and service according to the tractor operator’s manual.

•Make sure all guards, shields, and other safety devices are securely in place.

•The parking brake is on.

•The PTO control lever is disengaged.

•The 3-point hitch control lever is in the lowered position.

•The hydraulic remote control levers are in the neutral position.

•The tractor transmission levers are in park or neutral.

Refer to the tractor owner’s manual for tractor starting procedures. Only start the tractor while seated and belted in the tractor operator’s seat. Never bypass the ignition switch by short circuiting the starter solenoid. After the tractor engine is running, avoid accidental contact with the tractor transmission to prevent sudden and unexpected tractor movement. OPS-R-0052

Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health.

Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators manual for proper starting instructions.
