CONTROLS
© IMPLEMENT POWER CLUTCH - Figure 1
The implement power clutch is used to operate the
mower or snow thrower. Push the lever forward to
engage the clutch and drive the attachment. Pull the lever
rearward to disengage the clutch and stop the attachment.
The lever must be in the rear (disengaged) position to start
the engine. THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE. The engine will
not start until the lever has been placed in the disengaged
position.

(Hydrostatic Models — Figure 2
This lever regulates both tractor speed and direction.
Gradually move the lever forward from the "park-start" (neu­
tral) position to increase forward travel speed. Move the
lever rearward to the "R" position to back the tractor and
regulate reverse speed.
NOTE: The lines and numbers next to the forward slot do
not indicate a given speed. They serve as guide lines only.

THE CONTROL LEVER MUST BE IN THE "PARK-START"
POSITION TO START THE ENGINE.

Figure 3.
The gear shift lever is used to select any of three 1
forward gears or one reverse gear. The markings 1, 2, 3 and
R on the control console indicate the locations of the gears.
The slowest forward gear is indicated by No. 1, the secondary
gear, No. 2 and the fastest gear. No. 3. The "R" indicates
reverse.
THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER MUST BE IN THE FORWARD
NEUTRAL POSITION AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 3 TO START
THE ENGINE.
© HYDROSTATIC NEUTRALIZER AND BRAKE
PEDAL (Hydrostatic Models) — Figure 1
. When this pedal is depressed, the hydrostatic control
lever will return to neutral and stop the forward or reverse
motion of the tractor. At the same time, the pedal actuates
an independent brake which provides an additional means of
stopping the tractor.
NOTE: ALWAYS REMOVE HAND FROM HYDROSTATIC
CONTROL LEVER BEFORE DEPRESSING THE NEU­
TRALIZER AND BRAKE PEDAL THE TWO CONTROLS
ARE INTERCONNECTED. OPERATING THEM SIMUL­
TANEOUSLY COULD RESULT IN DAMAGED OR MIS-
ADJUSTED LINKAGE.

Figure 4
The clutch-brake pedal performs two functions:
1. When depressed to the "midway" range the clutch dis­
engages and the transmission can be shifted to any desired
gear.
2. When the clutch-brake pedal is fully depressed, the brake
actuates and stops the tractor.
NOTE: Always release the pedal slowly for smooth ac­
celeration. Do not allow foot to rest on pedal except for ^
clutching and braking functions.
