Important For maximum pulling power, the throttle
should be in the Fast position and the traction pedal just
barely depressed.
Use the maximum ground speed only when driving
from one area to another.
Maximum speed is not recommended when using
an attached or towed implement.
Caution
Important Do not operate in reverse with the
implement in the down (operating) position, or the
implement could be severely damaged.

Choke Control
To start a cold engine, close carburetor choke by moving
choke control (Fig. 10) forward to the “CLOSED” position.
After engine starts, regulate choke to keep engine running
smoothly. As soon as possible, open the choke by pulling
upward to the “OPEN” position. A warm engine requires
little or no choking.
Throttle Control
The throttle control lever (Fig. 10) connects to and operates
the throttle linkage to the carburetor. The control has 2
positions: Slow and Fast. The engine speed can be varied
between the 2 settings.
Note: The engine cannot be stopped by the throttle control.
Lift Lever
To raise the implement, pull the lift lever (Fig. 10) back; to
lower the implement, push the lever forward. For the float
position, move the lever into the detent position. When the
desired position is attained, release the lever and it will
return to neutral.
Note: The machine has a double-acting lift cylinder. Down
pressure can be applied to the implement for certain
operating conditions.
Parking Brake
To engage the parking brake (Fig. 10), pull back on the
lever. To disengage it, push the lever forward.
Hour Meter
The hour meter, located under seat, (Fig. 10) indicates the
total hours of machine operation. The hour meter starts to
function whenever the key switch is rotated to the On
position.
Steering Wheel Tilt Lever
Steering wheel tilt lever, (Fig. 11) on left side of steering
column, allows steering wheel to be adjusted for operator
comfort.
