A WARNING A
Always wear the seat belt when the machine is
equipped with a ROPS . However, if ROPS is in the
folded position, the seat belt should not be used , 9
Failure to comply could result in death or serious
Injury.
A WARNING A
Always pull from the drawbar. DO NOT attach
chains or ropes to the ROPS for pulling

SECTION 2 - OPE RATI O N
Foot Accelerator
The fool accelerator, 1, may be used independent of
the hand throttle lever to control the speed of the
tractor. It is recommended to use the foot accelerator
when driving on the main road or highway.

Avoid using the differential lock at speeds above
8 km/h (5 mph) and never at speeds ahove 15
km/h (9 mph) or at any time when turning the

tractor. When engaged , the differential lock will
make steering the tractor very difficult.
....
NOTICE: If a rear wheel spins at more speed than the
other, reduce the engine speed before trying to engage
the differential lock. This will avoid shock loads and the
risk of damage to the internal components.
Clutch Pedal
When the clutch pedal , 1, is depressed, the drive
between the engine and the transmission will be
disengaged. Use the clutch pedal to transfer engine
power smoothly to the rear wheels when moving off
from a stationary position.

Description
The three point linkage enables semi-mounted and
fully mounted implements to be connected to the
tractor, and be controlled by the tractor hydraulic
system. The linkage consists of two lower links, 1, 15
connected to the rear axle housing. The rear end of
the lower li nks are connected to the lower hitch pins
on the implement .
The lower links are raised and lowered by means of
the lift rods , 2, connected to the lift arms. The
right-hand lift rod is readily adjusted to ease the
attachment of implements and to level the implement
after attaching.
The top link , 3, is connected to a bracket on the
hydraulic lift housing. The rear of the top link should
be connected to the upper hitch pin of a mounted
implement. The top link is also adjustable to aid
implement setting .
