USING THE HYDRAULIC LIFT LEVER
The hydraulic lift system provides power for raising
and positioning three point hitch and belly mounted
equipment. The system’s position control feature
maintains the selected height or depth of the
equipment. When the hydraulic lift lever is moved to
a higher or lower setting, the system repositions the
equipment and maintains that selected position.
• To raise an attachment using the hydraulic lift
system, the engine must be running.
• Generally, an attachment can be lowered with
the engine running or off.
• There is a direct relationship between the
height of the equipment and the position of the
lever in its slot. Operate the equipment to
determine your preferred height setting and,
consequently, the position of the lift lever in its
slot.
• Move the lift lever forward in the slot to the
position that lowers the equipment to the
desired height setting. See Figure 18.
Figure 18
• Move the lift lever rearward in the slot to raise
the equipment to a higher height setting, or all
the way rearward to raise the equipment to the
transport position. See Figure 18.
USING THE PTO SELECTION LEVER
WARNING: NEVER shift the PTO selec-
tion lever while the PTO is engaged.
Damage to internal components will
occur.
The position of the PTO selection lever will deter-
mine whether the rear PTO, mid PTO, or both
PTO’s will be engaged when the PTO switch is acti-
vated.
Pull the lever to the right side of the slot to clear the
shift gate, then shift the lever as follows:
• Shift the PTO selection lever rearward to select
the rear PTO. The rear PTO is used to drive
equipment designed to operate at an input
speed of 540 RPM. See Figure 19.
Figure 19
• Shift the PTO lever forward to select the mid
PTO. The mid PTO is used to drive equipment
designed to operate at an input speed of 2000
RPM. Refer to Figure 19.
• Shift the PTO lever to the middle position to
select both the mid PTO and rear PTO. The
mid PTO and rear PTO will run simultaneously
when the PTO switch is activated. Refer to
Figure 19.
NOTE: Occasionally you may not be able to shift
from one PTO selection to another due to a slight
misalignment between the internal shift collar and
the gears. In these instances if will be necessary to
‘jog’ the PTO while shifting the selection lever.
Momentarily engage the PTO while applying light
pressure on the shift lever to fully engage the
internal gears.
ENGAGING THE PTO
WARNING: The operator must be in the
seat at all times when the PTO in
engaged. If the operator should leave
the seat without turning off the PTO
switch, the tractor’s engine will shut
off.
• Move the throttle handle to the mid throttle
position. Refer to Figure 20.
• Push the top of the PTO switch downward to
engage the PTO (Refer to Figure 20). The PTO
light on the instrument panel will come on.
• Move the throttle handle to the full throttle posi-
tion. When operating PTO driven attachments,
check the tachometer on the instrument panel
to ensure the RPM indicator needle is within
the green range on the tachometer dial.
