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 18.

• 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 projection 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 19.

• Push the top of the PTO switch downward to

engage the PTO (See Figure 19). The PTO

light on the instrument panel will come on.

• Move the throttle handle to the full throttle posi-

tion. When operating PTO driven attachments,

observe the tachometer on the instrument

panel to ensure the RPM indicator needle is

within the green range on the tachometer dial.

• 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.

Figure 19

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 15.

• 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 instrument panel will come on.

IMPORTANT: Once activated, the reverse

override will remain activated until the ignition

switch is turned to the OFF position for a

minimum duration of 20 seconds, regardless of

the number of times the PTO is engaged and

disengaged using the PTO switch. If the

override indicator light on the instrument panel

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.
