CLUTCH-BRAKE
PEDAL-
Depressing the combination clutch-brake pedal through
the first "part of its travel disengages the traction drive. Depressing it further en-
gages
the brake.
4. PARKING
BRAKE
-
Raise
the lock lever while the clutch-brake pedal is depressed
to hold the brake in the engaged position when parking the tractor.
5.
TRAVEL
CONTROL
LEVER
- Shifting
from
neutral to forward and reverse can be
done without use of the clutch-brake pedal. Smoother starts may be obtained by
slowly
and gradually moving the travel control lever
from
neutral into either
for-
ward or reverse. Preventing jerky starts will eliminate shock loads and possible dam-
age to the drive train.
If desired to start motion using the clutch-brake pedal, position the travel control
lever
in the
SLOWEST
position, release the pedal slowly and then increase forward
speed
slowly using the travel lever only. {There is only a single reverse speed.)
A
third method for smooth starts is to place the engine
throttle
at 1/2 speed and
then advance the
throttle
after drive engagement.
Maximum
reverse speed is
less
than forward, therefore, the travel control lever will
not move as far in the reverse arc of travel as in the forward arc of travel. The travel
control lever must be held in the reverse position.
6. MOWER ADJUST
LEVER
- This lever is used to raise and lower the mower through
a
range of five height selections. Pull handle out to disengage pin
from

move to the cutting height desired. Release handle to allow pin to engage selected
hole.
7. MOWER DRIVE
LEVER
- To engage the mower, slowly push this lever forward to
the
full
ON position. Pull the lever rearward to the OFF position to stop the
mower.
