When traveling short distances with frequent changes in direction, the forward/reverse rocker pedal may be operated using the heel/toe method. Place your foot on the center section of the pedal and press downward with your toes to move forward. Press downward with your heel to move in reverse.

NOTE: Slightly more effort is needed to depress the forward/reverse pedal using the heel/toe method.

WARNING: The forward/reverse pedal will not operate when the parking brake is engaged. Do not attempt to force the pedal when the parking brake is engaged; this could cause premature wear or damage to the drive linkage.

USING THE HI/LO RANGE SHIFT LEVER

WARNING: The tractor must be stopped before engaging or disengag- ing the transmission Hi/Lo range shift lever. Shifting while the tractor is in motion will cause damage to the transmission.

HI range — Forward speed 0 to 11.0 mph. Reverse speed 0 to 5.5 mph.

Shift the lever fully forward in the slot. See Figure 16.

Hi range is normally used for transport and can be used with some tractor attachments.

WARNING: Always maintain a tractor speed that allows for complete control and stability of the machine. Be aware of dangerous areas or conditions.

NEUTRAL — Disengages the transmission drive. Shift the lever to the center of the slot.

Use ONLY for towing or moving the tractor when not under power.

USING THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK PEDAL

Depressing the differential lock pedal engages a mechanism in the transmission that locks the differential. This prevents the rear wheels from rotating independently of each other and provides constant power to both rear wheels when additional traction is needed.

IMPORTANT: Do not engage the differential lock when one of the rear wheels is rotating. Stop the wheel rotation and then engage the differential lock.

WARNING: When operating with the differential lock engaged, the tractor will be difficult to steer. Do not drive the tractor on roadways or at high speeds with the differential lock engaged.
