HOOD LATCH
As viewed from the front of tractor:
1. To raise the food, pull the latch release ①
to the left and move safety catch ② upward.
A gas spring ③ assists in lifting the hood,
and holding it in its raised position.
2. To lower the hood, push downward against
the resistance of the gas spring, until the
hood engages the latch mechanism.
NOTE: Keep the latch mechanism free of dirt
and debris, so the latch will operate properly.
THREE-POINT LINKAGE
The tractor's three-point linkage is used to attach
three-point mounted equipment which is usually
PTO-operated, such as rotary mowers, tillers,
flail mowers, snowblowers, etc. The three linkage
points are the two lower lift arms and the top link.
The height of the RH lift arm and the top link can
also be adjusted, by loosening the jam nut ①
turning the adjustment turnbuckle ② and
re-tightening the jam nut.
