FOOT SPEED CONTROL PEDAL When disengaging clutch you are advised also to lower the engine speed. The life of the clutch depends on the operating habit of the user. The clutch works in combination with the PTO. CAUTION Lowering the speed, when the tractor is overloaded, by half engaging the clutch or changing gear at high speed will damage the clutch lining.
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK By operating the PTO shift lever located on left hand side of the transmission case, the three PTO speeds can be selected. When shifting the PTO shift lever, lower the engine speed , depress the clutch pedal fully to interrupt the power from the engine and make sure the machine is brought to a complete halt.
