TRACTOR OPERATION

ADJUSTING THE VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (Cont’d)

4. Tighten control knob, A (See Figure 17).

NOTE: The optimum location of the

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL KNOB allows you to fully engage the hydrostatic control lever to achieve a comfortable operating speed for the ground conditions.

NOTE: Moving the VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL KNOB toward the FAST position increase hydrostatic control lever effort.

Moving the VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL KNOB toward the SLOW position decreases hydrostatic control lever effort.

FIGURE 18 Forward Direction

REVERSE DIRECTION

1.SLOWLY apply pressure and PULL BACK on the HYDROSTATIC CONTROL LEVER as shown (See Figure 19).

2.Reverse speed is directly proportional to the amount the hydrostatic control lever is moved.

3.The more the lever is pulled back, the faster the reverse ground speed will be.

NOTE: Do not back up with the attachment on the ground.

FORWARD DIRECTION

1.SLOWLY apply pressure and PULL UP on the HYDROSTATIC CONTROL LEVER, A, as shown (See Figure 18).

2.Forward speed is directly proportional to the amount the hydrostatic control lever is moved.

3.The more the lever is pulled up, the faster the forward ground speed will be,

When stopping release the control lever slowly.
