tractor or starting the attachment. SERIOUS DAMAGE
TO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COULD RESULT
IF THIS PROCEDURE IS NOT FOLLOWED.
NprOPPING THE ENGINE
Always use the following procedure to stop the engine:
1. HYDROSTATIC DRIVE MODELS. Move hydrostatic con­
trol lever to the "park-start" position.
2. GEAR SHIFT MODELS. Move gearshift lever to the
"Neutral" position.
3. Disengage the implement power clutch.
4. Engage parking brake by^^pressing the foot pedal
and by moving brake lock(yforward to "on" position.
5. Lower attachment to the ground.
6. Lower throttle lever and allow the engine to idle for a short
period of time. DO NOT STOP A HOT ENGINE AT HIGH
SPEED
AS INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE COULD
RESULT.
7. Turn ignition key counterclockwise to the "off" position
to stop the engine.
8. BE CAREFUL: Remove ignition key before dismounting
from tractor. This will prevent children and inexperienced
operators from starting the tractor.

PERATING THE HYDROSTATIC DRIVE TRACTOR
1. Start the engine using the procedure explained under
"Pre-starting Inspection" and "Starting the Engine."
NOTE: The hydrostatic control lever must be In the "park-
start" position and the implement power dutch lever must be
disengaged to start the engine.
2. Release parking brake by depressing foot pedal until
brake disengages.
3. Select the proper engine speed with the throttle-choke
lever. When operating any power-driven attachment, run
the engine at full throttle (3400 - 3500 RPM) unless
otherwise specified. Use the hydrostatic control lever, NOT
THE THROTTLE, to select a safe, appropriate travel speed.
4. To start the attachment, engage the implement power
clutch with the engine running at ’/2 throttle. Then in­
crease speed to full throttle.
5. To move the tractor forward and increase the forward
travel speed, gradually push the hydrostatic control lever
forward from the neutral position as shown in Figure 9. To
stop or slow down the tractor, pull the control lever back
toward the neutral position.
OTE: The numbers along the forward slot of the console
■over do not indicate given speeds. They are provided as
guide lines only.
To move the tractor backward and to increase the reverse
travel speed, gradually move the hydrostatic control lever
back into the reverse (R) slot from the 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.
IMPORTANT: NEVER OPERATE THE HYDROSTATIC
CONTROL LEVER AND THE FOOT PEDAL SIMULTANE­
OUSLY AS THE LINKAGE COULD BECOME DAMAGED
OR MISADJUSTED.

BE CAREFUL: ALINA YS REMOVE THE IGNITION
KEY WHEN LEA VING THE TRACTOR TO PRE­
VENT CHILDREN AND INEXPERIENCED OP­
ERATORS FROM STARTING THE ENGINE.
OPERATING THE GEAR SHIFT TRACTOR
1. Start the engine using the procedure explained under
"Pre-starting Inspection" and "Starting the Engine."
NOTE: The gear shift lever must be in the forward neutral
position and the implement power dutch lever disengaged
to start the engine.
2. Release brake 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 10. Place gear shift
lever into the desired gear and slowly release the pedal
to provide smooth acceleration.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT FORCE GEAR SHIFT LEVER IF
GEAR DOES NOT ENGAGE. RETURN LEVER TO NEU­
TRAL, RELEASE PEDAL AND REPEAT THE PRO­
CEDURE. THE CLUTCH-BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE IN
THE SHIFTING RANGE TO ENGAGE ANY SELECTED
GEAR. DEPRESSING THE PEDAL TOO FAR LOCKS
THE TRANSMISSION MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO
SHIFT GEARS. DEPRESSING THE PEDAL TOO LITTLE
WILL CAUSE GEAR CLASH AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE
TO THE TRANSMISSION.
