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 19.
•
The PTO must 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 override switch will come on.
IMPORTANT:
Once activated, the reverse
override will remain activated until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, regardless
of the number of times the PTO is engaged and
disengaged using the PTO switch. If the
override switch is illuminated, the system is
activated.
WARNING: Use EXTREME CAUTION
when operating PTO driven attach-
ments while traveling in the reverse
direction.
LIGHTING
Headlights and Taillights
Always use the headlights and taillights 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.
The headlights use two halogen bulbs per side. The
placement of the bulbs provide a broad light range
for safer operation of the tractor in low light
conditions.
•
To turn on the headlights and taillights, depress
the top end of the headlight switch located to
the left of the steering wheel.
•
To turn off the headlights and taillights, depress
the bottom of the light switch.
Use of headlights and taillights is also recom-
mended when operating the tractor on or near road-
ways to increase visibility to traffic.
Hazard Lights
Always use the flashing amber hazard lights along
with the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem when
operating the tractor on, or near, roadways. Also
activate the hazard lights when necessary to warn
others that the tractor is being operated in the area.
•
To turn on the flashing hazard lights, depress
the top end of the hazard light switch located to
the left of the headlight switch.
•
To turn off the hazard lights, depress the
bottom of the light switch.
USING THE HITCH PLATE
Use only the hitch plate (See Figure 21), with the
optional drawbar attachment, for towing pull-behind
equipment (carts, trailers, etc.) or dragging loads.
Raise the lower links of the three point hitch to their
highest position to prevent interference with the
towed equipment.
IMPORTANT:
When transporting pull-behind
equipment on public roadways, always use a
safety chain to supplement the connection
between the tractor and towed equipment. The
safety chain must have a strength rating equal
to or greater than the gross weight of the equip-
ment being towed.
USING THE THREE POINT HITCH
WARNING: Always disengage the PTO,
stop the engine, and set the parking
brake before dismounting the tractor
to connect, disconnect, or adjust three
point hitch mounted implements.
Use the rear three point hitch system to attach
three
point
mounted
normally driven by the rear PTO. Using the position
control feature of the tractor's hydraulic lift system,
the three point hitch system provides for variable
positioning of the implement as well as allowing the
implement to be fully raised for transport.
Read the ADJUSTMENTS section for instructions
on adjusting the RH adjustable lift link, upper hitch
link, and hitch chain. See Figure 21.
