A—Clutch Pedal
IMPORTANT: To prevent transmission damage, do
not use speed shift on-the-go. To
prevent unnecessary wear, never “ride”
the clutch by resting a foot on the
pedal.
Depress clutch pedal (A) and stop tractor before shifting
either range shift lever or speed shift lever. Release clutch
pedal gradually to take up load smoothly.
