AND 1650 TRACTORS -Continued
NOTE: Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal
while driving the tractor as this would cause the
speed control lever to return to the "N" position.
4.
Move the speed control lever back to a position
to maintain proper mulching of the soil.
SPEED CONTROL LEVER
5. With a hydrostatic drive, it may be necessary to
vary the speed control lever as the soil conditionsvary.
With a gear driven tractor, under similar
conditions it may be necessary to declutch or to
use the brake.
This lever is used to select any speed from a
standstill "N" position to eight miles per hour in
the forward direction and to four miles per hour in
the reverse direction.
RELEASE LEVER
Moving the speed control lever forward provides
increased forward speed, and moving the lever
rearward provides the reverse speeds.
Some tractors are equipped with a release lever on
the right side of the frame near the cam stop. To
push or move the tractor for a short distance, the
release lever (if so equipped) must be held in the
(UP) position and the speed control lever (on all
models) must be in the "N" position.
SPEED CONTROL LEVER STOP
An adjustable speed control lever stop is provided
to allow the operator to return to a predetermined
speed.
NOTE: Never operate engine with release lever in
(UP) position. Towing or pushing the tractor for
more than a few feet may result in transmission
damag
Do not bypass the speed control lever stop to
obtain a higher tractor speed. If a higher speed is
desired, reset the stop.
STARTING THE TRACTOR

control lever slowly forward or rearward as
described above.
STOPPING THE TRACTOR
