ENGAGING THE PTO
WARNING: The operator must be in the
seat at all times when the PTO is
engaged. If the operator should leave
the seat without turning off the PTO
switch, the tractor's engine will shut off.
•
Move the throttle handle to the mid throttle
position. See Figure 18.
•
Push the top of the PTO switch downward to
engage the PTO (See Figure 18). The PTO
light on the instrument panel will come on.
•
Observing the tachometer on the instrument
panel, use the throttle handle to increase the
engine speed to the PTO operating range
(3500-3600 rpm).

•
Push the bottom of the switch downward to
disengage the PTO.
IMPORTANT
: Normally the PTO will not
operate when the tractor is driven in the reverse
direction. The PTO reverse override switch
must be activated to operate the PTO while
traveling in reverse.
USING THE PTO REVERSE OVERRIDE SWITCH
The PTO reverse override switch, located on the
left fender, allows the PTO to operate while the
tractor is traveling in the reverse direction. Refer to
Figure 15.
•
The PTO should first be engaged using the
PTO switch on the dash panel.
•
Depress the front of the override switch to
activate the reverse override system. The light
in the instrument panel will come on.

IMPORTANT:
Once activated, the reverse
override will remain activated until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position for a
minimum duration of 20 seconds, regardless of
the number of times the PTO is engaged and
disengaged using the PTO switch. If the
override indicator light on the instrument panel
is illuminated, the system is activated.
WARNING: Use EXTREME CAUTION
when operating PTO driven attach-
ments while traveling in the reverse
direction.
HEADLIGHTS
Always use the headlights for after dusk and pre-
dawn operation of the tractor. The lights not only
illuminate the work area, but also increase the
visibility of the tractor for anyone who might enter
the area of operation.
•
To turn on the headlights, depress the top end
of the headlight switch located to the left of the
steering wheel.
•
To turn off the headlights, depress the bottom
of the light switch.
Use of the headlights, along with a SMV (Slow
Moving Vehicle) emblem, is also recommended
when operating the tractor on or near roadways to
increase visibility to traffic.
USING THE TOP LINK RETAINER HOOK
The top link hook is provided to retain the top link of
the three point hitch when not in use.
To utilize the top link hook, proceed as follows:
•
Raise the 3-pt. hitch top link fully upward.
•
Pivot the link hook from its storage position to
the center and lower the top link into the hook
of the rod. See Figure 19.
IMPORTANT: When using the three point hitch, the
retainer hook must be pivoted fully rearward to
avoid interference with the top link.
