PTO control disengaged for approximately 15
seconds.

Operating the Transmission
Use slow engine and transmission speeds until you
know how to operate the tractor safely.
DO NOT SHIFT TRANSMISSION GEARS
WHILE THE FORWARD OR REVERSE
CLUTCHES ARE ENGAGED OR THE
TRACTOR IS MOVING. This will damage
the gears. Always place the direction
control pedal in “NEUTRAL” and bring
the tractor to a complete stop before
moving the gear or range selectors.
To move in a forward direction:
Start the engine and move the throttle to give the
desired engine speed.
Put the range and gear selectors in the positions
that will produce the desired speeds. See section 7
for ground speeds produced.
Move the direction control pedal forward. As the
tractor increases speed, push the pedal until it
locks into position. If the pedal is not pushed all the
way forward, slippage can damage the forward
clutch. USE CAUTION WHILE LEARNING TO
OPERATE THE DIRECTION CONTROL PEDAL.
NOTE: The operator must be in the seat to operate
the direction control pedal. If the operator leaves the
seat with the direction control pedal in the “Forward”
position, the engine will stop.

Push down firmly on the bottom of the direction
control pedal. The control pedal does not lock into
a reverse position.You must continue to push down
firmly to continue reverse travel.The pedal will
return to “Neutral” upon release.
