SECTION III USE
Gearbox and P.T.O. clutch
The clutch is the two-disk type.
The two disks, one for the gearbox and one for the P.T.O., are equipped
with circular friction lining of organic material.
The controls are completely separate:
– The clutch is engaged by depressing the pedal on the left-hand side of
the driver’s post.
It should be depressed firmly but carefully, so as to avoid sharp jerks
to tractor when releasing it.
The pedal must always be fully depressed to prevent unnecessary
wear of the clutch disk.

The P.T.O. clutch control lever is equipped with a locking ring to pre-
vent accidental operation. To operate the lever, pull the locking ring up
towards the knob and move the lever in the required direction. To en-
gage the clutch, move the lever downwards until you feel the tab en-
gage the notch. To disengage the clutch, pull the locking ring up
towards the knob to release the tab from the notch and move the lever
upwards.
