MOVING THE HYDROSTATIC CONTROL LEVER. The pedal is an
alternate control for slowing down or stopping. Use of the pedal
and Hydrostatic Control Lever simultaneously can result in
misadjusted hydrostatic linkage.

OPERATION
PRE-STARTING INSPECTION OPERATING THE TRACTOR — CONTROL LEVER
1. Check oil in engine crankcase. Add oil as required to main­
tain proper level. See Engine Instructions.
2. Check fuel supply. Use unleaded gasoline or leaded (if
unleaded is not available).
3. Check air filter and precleaner for excessive dirt. Clean as
■ required.
4. Make visual check' with regards to safety precautions,
obstructions, lubrication, and maintenance.
I^^^TARTING THE ENGINE
Use the following procedure to start the engine.
1. Place the Hydrostatic Control Lever in the
“PARK/START” position, shown in Figure 2.
NOTE: THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE. THE ENGINE WILL NOT
START UNLESS THE CONTROL LEVEfl IS PULLED ALL THE WAY
TO THE REAR OF THE “fARK/START” SLOT.
2. Bp pure the Implement Power Control Switch, © Figure 1,
is pushed .in (“OFF”).
' f '
3. Raise Throttle Leyqr, © Figure 1, to approximately 1/3“
“PAST’’’position.’ ' ,/
4. Pull Choke Control, © Figure 1, all the way out if engine
. is cold. If engine is warm or flooded, little or no clwke m^y
Pe .required.
5'- Turn ignition key, © Figure 1, Clock-wise all-the way.
Release key' as soon as the engine starts and push choke
; bytton in. In cold .weather it may be necessary to push
ch'oke in gradually until engine warms up. If engine fails to
start'on .the first attempt, turn key-To “OFF”, wait a few
minutes and try again. Do not operate the starting motor
continuously for more than 30 seconds at a time.
’ Always allow engine to warm up before applying load.,In.,
below freezing weather, allow ehgine to run at a fast idle
tor a period of at least 5 minutes before using the tractor-.
, Serious internal damage to the engine and hydrostatic
transmission could^result if this procedure is not followed.
When the Hydrostatic Control Lever is placed in the
“PARK/START” position as shown in Figure 2, a pin engages in
the teeth on the reduction gear inside the rear axle housing. This
mechanically locks the rear wheels and prevents them from turn­
ing. When the Hydrostatic Control Lever is moved into the
“NEUTRAL” (N) position, Figure 2, the pin is disengaged;
however, the hydrostatic transmission will not allow the rear
wheels to turn provided there is sufficient oil in the transmission,
the free-wheeling valves are not depressed, and linkage properly
adjusted.
To move the tractor forward and to increase forward travel
speed, gradually push the Hydrostatic Control Lever forward in
the slot from the “NEUTRAL” (N) position, shown in Figure 2.
To stop or slow down, gradually pull the Hydrostatic Control
Lever toward the “NEUTRAL” (N) position or depress the
Neutralizer Pedal.
NOTE: THE LINES NEXT TO THE FORWARD SLOT 00 NOT IN­
DICATE A GIVEN SPEED AND SERVE AS GUIDE LINES ONLY.
To move the tractor backward and increase reverse travel speed,
gradually pull the Hydrostatic Control Lever back in the
, “REVERSE” (R).slot from the “NEUTRAL” (N) position, shown
in Figure 2. To stop or slow down, gradually push the
Hydrostatic Control Lever toward the “NEUTRAL” (N)..position
or depress Neutralizer Pedal slowly with foot.
To stop, the tractor, return the Hydrostatic Control Lever to
‘“NEUTRAL“ (N) either by hand or. with the Neutralizer.Pedal
and then step on the Brake Pedal to stop tractor from rolling.
DO NOT MOVE HYDROSTATIC CONTROL LEVER
“PARK/START” SLOT UNLESS ENGINE IS RUNNING.-
FROM
Because of the dynarpic braking characteristics of .the
hydrostatic transrnissiomhe Hydrostatic Control Lever is ex­
tremely sensitive to the slightest movement when in the forward
or reverse slots. Always move lever slowly when in these slots.
When the tractor is stopped on a hill or grade and the control in
“NEUTRAL", a slight amount of tractor movement is considered
normal, if wheel brakes are not applied after neutralizing
transmission speed control.
