4-Wheel Drive Lever

powered to obtain better traction on difficult-to-travel
ground.
The 4-wheel drive lever can be set to the ON or OFF
position only when the tractor is at a standstill.
(A) 4-wheel drive lever
(a) 4-wheel drive mode
(b) 2-wheel drive mode
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage.
ALWAYS keep the 4-wheel drive lever in the OFF
position when traveling on a paved surface.
ALWAYS disengage the 4-wheel drive lever when
not needed to prevent premature wear of the front
tires.
NEVER install tire chains to the front wheels.
Chains will hit and can damage the tractor.
If disengaging the 4-wheel drive lever is difficult,
stop the tractor, turn the steering wheel right and
left several times. Then attempt to disengage the
4-wheel drive lever again.
To minimize tire wear, drive in the 4-wheel drive
mode only when absolutely necessary. Driving the
tractor on a paved road in the 4-wheel drive mode
can accelerate wear of the tires.
To obtain better traction, keep the front tires at the
maximum allowable pressure.
When the 4-wheel drive lever is in the ON position,
braking will apply to all four wheels.
