WARNING
BEFORE USING AHACHMENT LIFT,
MAKE SURE AHACHMENT IS
COMPLETELY HOOKED UP. MOVE

INTERFERENCE. ADJUST IF NEEDED.
Hydrostatic Transmission
For maximum performance when using
attachments, operate engine at full speed
(full throttle). Control ground speed with
travel pedal.
The hydrostatic transmission provides an
infinite choice of travel speeds. Avoid fast
travel speeds when using attachments.
Slower speeds work best when
performing tasks such as snowthrowing,
mowing and tilling.
Warning light (GTX 20):
The "Oil
Temperature" light activates when
hydraulic fluid in transmission is
overheated. If light is activated, disengage
attachment/PTO drive switch (Fig. 6-1)
and shut off tractor engine. Allow
transmission to cool down. Make sure
cooling fins are clear of debris.
2-Speed models (GTX 20):
Change
speeds with transmission lever (Fig. 6-1).
Tractor must be completely stopped when
shifting.
Use "HIGH" range (0-9 mph) for transport
and mowing.
Use "LOW" range (0-3.3 mph) for heavy
load conditions such as tilling,
snowthrowing or plowing.
Travel Pedal

Press travel pedal (Fig. 6-1) at top (with
toe) to move forward. Press pedal at
bottom (with heel) to move in reverse.
To stop or slow down when moving
