OPERATION

To run the tractor in REVERSE, shift to reverse gear.

PRE-STARTING INSPECTION

Prior to starting the engine for each day's operation, the

following checks and services should be performed;

a. Check oil in engine crankcase. Add oil as required to

maintain proper level.

b. Check fuel supply. Use regular gasoline only.

c. Check air filter for excessive dirt. Clean as required.

d. Make visual check with regards to safety precautions,

obstructions, lubrication, and maintenance.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Use the following procedure to start the engine:

1. Place the gear shift lever in the "Neutral" position, shown

in Figure 2.

NOTE: This is a safety feature. The engine wili not start

unless the shift lever is in neutral.

2. Be sure the Implement Power Control SwitchMJFigure

1„is pushed in (OFF). ^

NOTE: This is a safety feature. The engine will not start un

less the switch is off (pushed in).

3. Raise throttle lever^^Figure 1, to approximately 1/3

fast position.

4. Pull choke control^^Figure 1, all the way out if engine

is Cold. If engine iswarm, little or no choke may be

required.

5. Turn ignition key(|^Figure 1, clockwise all the way.

Release key as soon as the engine starts and push choke

button in. In cold weather it may be necessary to push choke

in gradually until engine warms up. If engine fails to start

bn the first attempt, turn key to off, wait a few minutes and

try again. Do not operate the starting motor continuously

for more than 30 seconds at a time.

Always allow engine to warm up before applying load.

In below freezing weather, allow engine to run at a fast idle

for a period of at least 5 minutes before using the tractor.

Serious internal damage to the engine could result if this

procedure is not followed.

OPERATING THE TRACTOR - GEAR SHIFT LEVER

When the gear shift lever is placed in the neutral position

the interlock switch is closed and the engine can be started:

the rear wheels are not in gear and the tractor may be pushed

around by hand as required after releasing the parking brake.

In general, best results will be secured by running the

tractor engine at full throttle while selecting the gear that

gives the desired ground speed. This insures that the attach

ment operates at maximum efficiency.

THROTTLE LEVER SETTING

When operating power driven attachments such as the

mower, snow thrower or the rotary tiller, run the engine at

full throttle unless the attachment operator's manual specifies

otherwise. Use the shift control lever, not the throttle lever

to select a safe travel speed when using power driven

attachments.

To run the tractor FORWARD, shift to one of the four

forward speeds. Speed for each gear (with engine at full

throttle) is shown below:

1st Gear .7 mph

2nd Gear 2.1 mph

3rd Gear 3.7 mph

4th Gear 5.4 mph

Reverse Gear 2.9 mph

Safe or proper travel speed depends on the attachment

used as well as the type of terrain or lawn, field and garden

conditions in which the tractor is operated.
