The other switch is loc a ted on attachment clutch lever (C, Fig. 3, Page 4) . The gear shift lever must be in neutral (cent e r po s ition ). The attachment clutch le ver must also be in disengaged (out ), position for eng ine to start. Turn key ( F, Fig . II, Page 6), in ign ition-starter switch clockw i se to engage starter . When engine starts, release key. After engine starts, push in choke control as engine warm s up. Let engine warm up before apply ing load.

4.To stop engine, turn ignition key in a counter- cloc kwise direction to OFF position. Key should be remo ved to pre vent unauthorized operation .

5 . Do not operate the Tractor in high gear going down hill. Do not turn sharp corners while going down hill. If it is necessary to stop Tractor while going down hill, do so quickly to prevent Tractor from picking up speed during the declutching to brake pos ition.

NOTE: The engine produces considerable braking action when throttled back to idling speed without declutching . This procedure is recommended before applying brake.

DO NOT OPERATE TRACTOR ACROSS SLOPES. DO NOT OPERATE TRACTOR UP OR DOWN SLOPES WITH MORE THAN A 15 DEGREE SLOPE. 6 . Dc not shift gears while going up steep hills.

Choose a low enough gear to climb hill without stopping and shifting gears. If it is necessary to stop while going up hill, do so quickly to prevent Tractor roll ing bac kward. Before starting Tractor in motion going uphill, use one of the lowest gears. Reduce engine speed and engage ., . clutch,. gradually to pre vent Tractor from

rearing up .

7.Upsets can happen easi Iy in ditches. Stay alert for holes or other yard hazards.

8.If tractor becomes mired in a hole , try to back out rather than dri v ing forward .

safe operating

1.Try your Tractor in a large, open space. Learn to start, stop and reverse.

2.Start the engine and put the throttle lever at about 1/ 3 throttle. Push down on foot pedal, move gear sh ift lever and range sh ift lever to speed desired. Release foot pedal slowly, and Tractor will start to move. After foot pedal is fully released (clutch engaged), move throttle lever to fast pos ition. If ground travel is too fast, reduce throttle lever to about Y2 throttle or depress foot pedal and shift to a slower ground travel speed. Always select a ground travel speed that will suit attachment be ing used and not overload the eng ine.

3.Do not shift gears while Tractor is moving .

4.To stop Tractor, pu s h foot pedal all the way down and reduce throttle le v er to about Y2 throttle . Dise ngage power to attachment. Mo v e gear shift lever to neutral, set parking brake lock and re- lease foot pedal. Always check to make sure brake lock will hold Tractor secure . Shut-off and remo ve key fr om switch. This will prevent un- author ized operation. Keep key in a safe pla c e out of reach of chi Idren. Ne ver lea ve eng ine running w ith Tractor unattended .
