C. Foot Throttle

The foot throttle is interlocked with the hand throttle. Depressing the foot throttle increases the engine speed. Full engine speed control can be obtained with the foot throttle if the hand throttle is in the full rearward (slow) position. The foot throttle may also be used to temporarily increase the engine speed above the hand throttle setting.

D. Main Shift Lever

WARNING: Never shift the main shift lever without first disengaging the tractor’s clutch by depressing the clutch pedal. Failure to do so will result in severe damage to the transmission.

The main shift lever allows you to shift the tractor’s transmission into any of four gear sets. Each gear set represents a change in tractor speed, with 1 being the slowest speed and 4 the fastest. The synchromesh type gearbox allows you to change gears without stopping by just fully depressing the clutch pedal.

The shift pattern is in the form of an "H" with the cen- ter position being neutral. See Figure 13.

The Hi-Lo range shift lever allows you to shift the trac- tor’s transmission into any of three speed ranges (See Figure 14).

To shift into the High, Middle, or Low range, com- pletely stop the tractor and fully depress the clutch pedal.

Move the lever to the left and forward to shift into the High (faster) range.

Move the lever to the left and rearward to shift into the Middle (medium) range.

Move the lever to the right and rearward to shift into the Low (slower) range.

Move the lever to the center position to place in neutral.

E. Hi-Lo Range Shift Lever

WARNING: Never shift the Hi-Lo range shift lever without first disengaging the tractor’s clutch by depressing the clutch pedal. Failure to do so will result in severe damage to the transmission.

F.Auxiliary Hydraulics Lever

Use this lever to control the cylinder positions of optional implements attached to the remote hydraulic outlets of the tractor.

IMPORTANT: Do not hold the lever in the "Pull" or "Push" position once the remote cylinder has reached the end of its stroke. Doing so will force oil through the relief valve, and over a prolonged period cause the hydraulic oil to overheat.
