CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INFORMATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2 OPERATION
Always set the parking brake when parking the machine. The
transmission does not have an internal parking lock and failure to apply the parking
brake could allow unexpected movement resulting in crushing injury or death.
2.6 EMERGENCY STOPPING
If the brakes fail, follow this procedure:
1. Downshift to next lower gear, unless already in “1.”
2. Use parking brake to stop tractor by pulling on parking brake lever.
2.7 TOWING THE TRACTOR
NOTICE! Tow the tractor with the rear end picked up or with the drive shaft
disconnected. Failure to do so will damage the transmission.
IN AN EMERGENCY, the tractor may be towed without lifting the wheels or
disconnecting the drive shaft IF:
• Engine is running AND transmission is in neutral.
• Towing distance must be LESS THAN 1 MILE and travel speed LESS THAN
5 M.P.H.
NOTICE: Failure to follow these instructions will cause transmission damage
and will void the warranty.
