•Push the bottom of the switch downward to disengage the PTO.

IMPORTANT: Normally the PTO will not operate when the tractor is driven in the reverse direction. The PTO reverse override switch must be depressed to operate the PTO while traveling in reverse.

USING THE PTO REVERSE OVERRIDE SWITCH

The PTO reverse override switch, located on the left fender, allows the PTO to operate while the tractor is traveling in the reverse direction. Refer to Figure 19.

•The PTO must first be engaged using the PTO switch on the dash panel.

•Depress the front of the override switch to activate the reverse override system. The light in the override switch will come on.

IMPORTANT: Once activated, the reverse override will remain activated until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. If the over- ride switch is illuminated, the system is activated.

The headlights use two halogen bulbs per side. The placement of the bulbs provide a broad light range for safer operation of the tractor in low light conditions.

•To turn on the headlights and taillights, depress the top end of the headlight switch located to the left of the steering wheel.

•To turn off the headlights and taillights, depress the bottom of the light switch.

Use of headlights and taillights is also recom- mended when operating the tractor on or near road- ways to increase visibility to traffic.

Hazard Lights

Always use the flashing amber hazard lights along with the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem when operating the tractor on, or near, roadways. Also activate the hazard lights when necessary to warn others that the tractor is being operated in the area.

•To turn on the flashing hazard lights, depress the top end of the hazard light switch located to the left of the headlight switch.

•To turn off the hazard lights, depress the bottom of the light switch.

USING THE TOP LINK RETAINER HOOK

The top link hook is provided to retain the the top link of the three point hitch when not in use.

To utilize the top link hook, proceed as follows:

•While holding the top link upward, raise the hook rod and slide it fully to the left so that it locks in the upright position in the right slot of the mounting bracket.

•Lower the top link into the hook of the rod.

•To release the top link, lift the top link out of the retainer hook; then slide the hook rod fully to the right and pivot it downward.
