4. RANGE AND DIRECTION SELECTOR LEVER - With the selector
lever in neutral, depress the combination clutch and brake pedal
and place the lever in any one of the four forward or one reverse
speed ranges to obtain the desired working speed or direction.
CAUTION Be sure the selector lever is in neutral when parking and
starting the tractor.
5. COMBINATION CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDAL - The combination
clutch and brake pedal will disengage the traction clutch on the
engine when the pedal is depressed to approximately three-fourths
of its full travel, thereby stopping the transmission drive belt.
Depress the pedal fully to apply the brake,
6. BRAKING AND PARKING - When making a normal stop, depress
the brake pedal about three-fourths of its full travel which will
stop the transmission drive belt. If a fast stop is necessary, fully
depress the pedal to engage the brake band with the brake drum
on the transmission.
NOT£ Always engage and lock the brake when parking the tractor.
The brake is locked by tightening the lock lever (6, Figure
with the brake pedal fully depressed.
Make certain the brake band is maintained in proper
adjustment. Should the brake band become worn or
loosened, the traction clutch on the engine can be re-
engaged when excessive pressure is applied to the
brake pedal. Refer to the Brake, Clutch and Drive
Belt Adjustment instructions in the Preventive Main-
tenance Section.
7. UGHT SWITCH - Pull the Ught switch out to turn on the head-
lights and push in to turn off the headlights.
8. AMMETER WARNING LIGHT - The warning light goes on when
the key switch is turned on and should go off when the engine
starts. If the ammeter warning light does not go off when the
engine starts and is running, it is an indication that the battery is
discharging and the generator is not supplying current. STOP
THE ENGINE AND CHECK FOR THE CAUSE.
If the ammeter light flickers when the engine is at low idle,
the battery, generator or regulator may not necessarily require
servicing. However, if the warning light remains on when engine
speed is increased, stop the engine immediately and check for the
cause.
