to leave the mechanism disengaged. The front
wheel drive mechanism is very effective on the
following jobs.

- PTO Gear shift Lever(Manual/Automatic)
Two PTO speeds can be obtained by shifting the
P TO speed lever from the operator's seat.
If turning PTO swich to Automatic, rotary is operating
only on working in filed. For example, if you lift rotary

always operating.
- Hand Throttle
When the hand throttle is pushed forward, the
engine speed will increase. When pulled rearward,
the engine speed will decrease.
- Foot Throttle
The foot throttle is interlocked with the hand throttle.
Depressing the foot throttle increases engine speed.
Full engine speed control can be obtained with the
foot throttle if the hand throttle is in full rearward
position. The foot throttle may also be used to
temporarily increases engine speed above the hand
throttle setting.
- Clutch Pedal
When the clutch pedal is fully depressed, the clutch is
disengaged. Shift the main shift lever to the desired
speed and gradually release the clutch pedal, then
the clutch will become engaged. The clutch should
be disengaged by stepping on the pedal quickly, and
engaged by slow releasing the foot from the pedal so
as not to damage the clutch plate.
I M P O RTANT :
• The clutch pedal must be quickly disengaged and
be slowly engaged.
• Never operate the tractor with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal. Doing so may contribute to
premature clutch wear.

sure to interlock the left and the right brake pedals.
Do not forget to observe this precaution, otherwise,
stepping on only one brake while operating on roads
would cause unforeseen accidents.
