USING THE HYDRAULIC LIFT LEVER

The hydraulic lift system provides power for raising
and positioning three point hitch and belly mounted
equipment. 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.
Move the lift lever forward in the slot to lower
the equipment to the desired height setting.
Refer to Figure 20.
Move the lift lever rearward in the slot to raise
the equipment.
Move the lift lever fully forward and to the right
ahead of the float lock gate to lock the lift in the
float position.

ENGAGING THE PTO

WARNING: The operator must be in the
seat at all times when the PTO is
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. See Figure 21.
Push the top of the PTO switch downward to
engage the PTO (See Figure 21). The PTO
light on the instrument panel will come on.
Observing the tachometer on the instrument
panel, use the throttle handle to increase the
engine speed to the PTO operating range
(3500-3600 rpm).
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 activated 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 17.
The PTO should 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 attach-
ments while traveling in the reverse
direction.
LIGHTING

Headlights

Always use the headlights for after dusk and pre-
dawn operation of the tractor. The lights not only
illuminate the work area, but also increase the
visibility of the tractor for anyone who might enter
the area of operation.
To turn on the headlights, depress the top end
of the headlight switch located to the left of the
steering wheel.
To turn off the headlights, depress the bottom
of the light switch.
Use of the headlights, along with a SMV (Slow
Moving Vehicle) emblem, is also recommended
when operating the tractor on or near roadways to
increase visibility to traffic.
