TO OPERATE TRACTOR
Try your tractor in a large, open space. Learn
to
start,
stop
and reverse.
2. Start the engine and put the remote control
lever at about
1
/
2
throttle. Push down on foot
pedal, move gear shift lever and range lever to
speed desired. Release foot pedal slowly, and
tractor will start to move. After foot pedal is
fully released (clutch engaged) move remote
control lever to fast psoition. If ground travel
is too fast, depress foot pedal and shift to a
slower ground travel speed. Always select a
ground travel speed so that engine is not over-
loaded.
Do not shift gears while tractor is moving.
Important: Do not attempt to make any turns at
high speed or when operating on a hillside. Redu-
ce speed when on hillsides so that if wheel strik-
es a hole, rut or ditch tractor will not tip.
Never release clutch quickly with remote control
at
fast
position
(full
throttle).
If tractor becomes mired or in a hole try to back
out
rather
than
drive forward.
To stop tractor, push foot pedal all the way down,
move gear shift lever to neutral, set brake lock
and release foot pedal. Always check to make
sure brake lock will hold tractor secure. Shut off
and remove key from switch.
This will.prevent unauthorized children from start
ing tractor. Never leave engine running with trac-
or unattended.
