WARNING: The forward/reverse pedal
will not operate when the parking brake
is engaged. Do not attempt to force the
pedal when the parking brake is
engaged; this could cause premature
wear or damage to the drive linkage.
USING THE HI/LO RANGE SHIFT LEVER
WARNING:
The
tractor
must
be
stopped before engaging or disengag-
ing the transmission Hi/Lo range shift
lever. Shifting while the tractor is in
motion will cause damage to the
transmission.
WARNING: Always maintain a tractor
speed that allows for complete control
and stability of the machine. Be aware
of dangerous areas or conditions.
Push the lever to the right side of the slot to clear
the shift gate, then shift the lever as follows:
HI range — Shift the lever fully forward in slot. See
Figure 16.
Forward speed 0 to 11.0 mph.
Reverse speed 0 to 5.5 mph.
Hi range is normally used for transport and can be
used with some tractor attachments

LOW range — Shift the lever fully rearward in slot.
Forward speed 0 to 6.4 mph.
Reverse speed 0 to 3.2 mph.
Low range is recommended for use with most PTO
driven tractor attachments. Low range must be
used when climbing or descending slopes.
NEUTRAL — Shift the lever to the center of slot.
Disengages the transmission drive.
Use ONLY for towing or moving the tractor when
not under power.
USING THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK PEDAL
Depressing the differential lock pedal engages a
mechanism in the transmission that locks the
differential. This prevents the rear wheels from
rotating independently of each other and provides
constant power to both rear wheels when additional
traction is needed.
IMPORTANT:
Do not engage the differential
lock when one of the rear wheels is rotating.
Stop the wheel rotation and then engage the
differential lock.
WARNING: When operating with the dif-
ferential lock engaged, the tractor will
be difficult to steer. Do not drive the
tractor on roadways or at high speeds
with the differential lock engaged.
Fully depress and hold the differential lock
pedal to engage the transmission differential
lock. Release the pedal to disengage the
differential lock. See Figure 17.

NOTE: Because of the drive load on the internal
engagement mechanism, releasing the differential
lock
pedal
may
not
always
disengage
the
differential lock. It may be necessary to slow the
tractor, or reverse the direction of travel, to
disengage the differential lock.
