• Push the bottom of the switch downward to
disengage the PTO.
IMPORTANT: Normally the PTO will not
operate when the tractor is driven in the reverse
direction. The PTO reverse override switch
must be depressed to operate the PTO while
traveling in reverse.
USING THE PTO REVERSE OVERRIDE SWITCH
The PTO reverse override switch, located on the
left fender, allows the PTO to operate while the
tractor is traveling in the reverse direction. Refer to
Figure 19.
• The PTO must first be engaged using the PTO
switch on the dash panel.
• Depress the front of the override switch to
activate the reverse override system. The light
in the override switch will come on.
IMPORTANT: Once activated, the reverse
override will remain activated until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position. If the over-
ride switch is illuminated, the system is
activated.
WARNING: Use extreme caution when
operating PTO driven attachments
while traveling in the reverse direction.
Always look down and behind before
and while backing. Do not operate the
tractor when children or others are
around. Stop the tractor immediately if
someone enters the area.
LIGHTING
Headlights and Taillights
Always use the headlights and taillights for after
dusk and pre-dawn operation of the tractor. The
headlights not only illuminate the work area, but
also increase the visibility of the tractor for anyone
who might enter the area of operation.
The headlights use two halogen bulbs per side. The
placement of the bulbs provide a broad light range
for safer operation of the tractor in low light
conditions.
• To turn on the headlights and taillights, depress
the top end of the headlight switch located to
the left of the steering wheel.
• To turn off the headlights and taillights, depress
the bottom of the light switch.
Use of headlights and taillights is also recom-
mended when operating the tractor on or near road-
ways to increase visibility to traffic.
Hazard Lights
Always use the flashing amber hazard lights along
with the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem when
operating the tractor on, or near, roadways. Also
activate the hazard lights when necessary to warn
others that the tractor is being operated in the area.
• To turn on the flashing hazard lights, depress
the top end of the hazard light switch located to
the left of the headlight switch.
• To turn off the hazard lights, depress the
bottom of the light switch.
