HYDROSTATIC SPEED LOCK LEVER (Hydrostatic Drive Only)

The speed ratio control pedal of hydrostatic drive has a speed lock lever

This lever is used to keep a constant forward speed without controlling the pedal. It can not be used for reverse speed. The lever is located under the instrument panel. Operate the speed lock lever as follows:

1. Determine forward speed as you need by pressing the speed ratio control pedal forward.

2. Move the lock lever upward to lock the position of the pedal. (It can keep the forward speed constant).

3. Remove your foot from the pedal.

4. To release the lock, move the lock lever downward.

NOTE:

The speed ratio control pedal will return to neutral position and the tractor will stop If your foot is not on the pedal.

5. Increase of forward speed, speed ratio can be obtained to max. speed by pressing the pedal forward while the lock lever is in lock position. However, decrease of forward speed ratio or change to reverse speed can not be obtained, while the lock lever is in lock position.

6.To decrease forward speed ratio or change to reverse speed, put your foot on the pedal first, then release the lock lever. Control speed ratio or direction with the foot pedal.

NOTE:

1. The lock lever can not be released by pressing the brake pedal.

2. The lock lever can not be released by pressing the hydrostatic speed ratio control pedal.

3.Make sure to keep the lock lever in the off position when starting the tractor.

4.Return the lock lever to the off position when stopping the tractor.

MECHANICAL FRONT DRIVE (4WD)

Use the 4WD to obtain improved traction in loose, sandy or wet soil conditions. 4WD will also give improved steering control and will reduce soil compaction. 4WD can be engaged or disengaged as needed by the 4WD control lever located on the LH side below the operators seat.

To engage the 4WD, press the clutch pedal down, stop the tractor and move the 4WD control lever up to the ON position.

IF THE 4WD IS DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE, DO THE FOLLOWING:

1.Push the clutch pedal.

2.Move the range shift lever to L range.

3.Release the clutch pedal slowly, move the tractor forward or rear ward small amount.

4.Move the 4WD control lever up until fully engaged with proper force.

To disengage the 4WD, push the clutch pedal, stop the tractor and move the 4WD control lever down to the OFF position.

IF THE 4WD IS DIFFICULT TO DISENGAGE, DO THE FOLLOWING:

1. Move the range shift lever to L range.

2. Slowly release and press the clutch pedal to move the tractor forward or rearward small amount.

3. Push the clutch pedal and stop the tractor.

4. Move there 4WD control lever down until completely disengaged.

Tractors equipped with mechanical front drive (MFD) have increased traction and can climb steeper slopes. Stay off slopes too steep for safe operation. To prevent rear overturns, back up steeper slopes.
