SECTION 2 - OPERATION
2-29
STOPPING THE TRACTOR
1. Gradually slow down the tractor. Set the
throttle as low as possible.
2. Disengage the clutch, apply the brake and put
the controls into neutral.
3. Reduce the engine speed to Idle. Run the
engine for 3 to 5 minutes before shutdown to
allow the engine to cool.
4. Shut down the engine and remove the key.
Turn all electrical accessories OFF.
IMPORTANT: If the engine has overheated,
allow it to idle an extended length of time to
reduce the temperature. If the temperature
does not return to normal or the coolant level
warning lamp is ON, shut down the tractor
immediately.
OVERHEAD CLIMATE CONTROLS
Above the right console is a panel containing the
climate controls. These consist of a rocker
switch, which activates the air conditioning, and
three rotary switches, controlling the pressurizer
fan, temperature, and recirculation mix.
CAUTION: THE CAB IS NOT DESIGNED TO
PROVIDE A “SPRAYER SAFE” ENVIRONMENT
FOR THE OPERATOR. WHEN APPLYING
CHEMICALS FROM A SPRAY UNIT, DO NOT RELY
ON THE CAB FILTER ELEMENTS TO PROVIDE
PROTECTION TO THE OPERATOR FROM
AIRBORNE CHEMICALS.
Heater
1. To activate the heater, open the heater hose
valve, 1, on the right side of the engine block.
Under most cold-weather conditions it is not
necessary to have the valve completely open.
During hot weather, shut the heater valve off
on the side of the engine. This will ensure no
heated engine coolant will flow into the heater
core.
