OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REAR WORK LAMP (IF EQUIPPED)
The rear work lamp is turned on by the switch on the lamp. The starter key switch must be in the ON position before the work lamp can be turned on.
IMPORTANT: Do not turn on the rear work lamp while travelling on public roads.
Connecting Implement To Drawbar
The correct connection of the implement to the drawbar will prevent stress on both the tractor and the implement. To assure proper tractor operation and optimum implement performance, the implement must be connected to the drawbar correctly.
1.Connect pull-behind implements to the drawbar only.
2.Use a hardened steel hitch pin to connect the implement to the drawbar. Make sure the pin is held securely in place with a lock pin.
3.When working with the drawbar, raise the lower links as high as possible to prevent interference between the lower links and the implement.
4.The drawbar provides the standard hitch distance from the end of the PTO shaft to the centerline of the rear hole in the drawbar. This is necessary for safe PTO operation of trailing type equipment.
IMPORTANT: The maximum fixed drawbar vertical load is 300 lbs (136 kg).
Safety Chain
When towing equipment on a highway, use a safety chain as an auxiliary connection between the tractor and the towed equipment. The safety chain must have a rating greater than the gross load of the towed equipment. Connect the chain to the tractor drawbar support and the towed equipment as shown in the illustration. Check the adjustment of the safety chain by turning the tractor completely to the right and left. Adjust the chain as necessary.
