neutral position. To stop the tractor or slow down the
reverse travel speed, gradually move the control
lever from the reverse (R) slot toward the neutral
position.

OPERATING THE GEAR SHIFT TRACTOR
1. Start the engine using the procedure ex­
plained under "Pre-Starting Inspection" and "Starting
the Engine."

2. Release brpke lock by depressing the clutch-
brake pedal, Figure 10, until the lock disengages.
3. Depress clutch-brake pedal approximately
halfway (into the shifting range) as shown in Figure

Place gear shift lever into the desired gear and
slowly release the pedal to provide srnooth accelera­
tion.

4 . Select the desired throttle speed with the
throttle-choke control lever. When operating a power-
driven attachment, operate the engine at full throttle
(3400 - 3500 RPAA) unless otherwise specified and
control travel speed by selecting an appropriate gear.
5. To start the mower or snow thrower, engage
the implement power clutch slowly with the engine
running at
'/2
throttle, then increase speed to full
throttle.
6. To stop the tractor, depress foot pedal to the
braking range, then return it to the shifting range and
place gear shift lever in neutral. Fully depress pedal
and engage the brake lock when parking or leaving
the tractor. (Figure 10)
EMERGENCY STOPPING
Always use caution when mowing — be alert for
children, pets or obstacles in path. If necessary to
make emergency stop, step firmly on brake pedal.
(On hydrostatic model tractor, drive control lever
automatically returns to neutral when brake pedal is
depressed.)
