Normal Care
DETERMINING OPERATING TIME
Determining operating time is easily accom¬
plished if the tractor is equipped with an
optional hourmeter. If not, multiply the time
it takes to do one job by the number of times
you've done the job.
NORMAL CARE SCHEDULE
A schedule for normal care is provided in
Table 1.
RAISING HOOD & SEAT DECK
To raise the hood, grasp both sides of the
hood near the dash and pull outward. There
are two,'styles of seat latches. If there is a
button on each side of the front of the seat
deck, near the foot rests, press in both
buttons and tilt the seat deck back. (On
other models, lift the latch under left side of
seat deck and tilt seat deck back).
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
Raise the seat deck. While holding the seat,
loosen the four capscrews that secure seat to
seat deck. Position the seat as desired then
tighten the capscrews.
