Wheel Horse COMMANDO 6 - Parking Brake; Attaching Tools; Safety Suggestions

PARKING BRAKE
The parking brake is located on the left side of
the tractor as shown in Fagure I. To set the parking
brake depress the clutch-brake pedal as far as pos-
sible and push the parking brake down. To release
the brake depress the clutch-brake pedal.
ATTACHING TOOLS
Complete information on the assembly, attachment,
operation and service of the many attaching tools will
be provided with each attachment.
All drawn implements attach in seconds. Simply lift
the tractor hitch pin, insert the tongue, and replace
pin.
All power implements will use the attachment clutch
pedal located on the right side of the tractor.
CARE OF TRACTOR
1. Keep tractor greased and oiled regularly. Re-
fer to Figure 1 for the location of grease fittings. Check
transmission and engine case oil levels.
2. Keep
engine air cleaner clean. This will add
to engine life.
3. Keep tires properly inflated. See previous in-
structions.
4. Keep tractor covered and in a dry place when
not in use.
S. Keep
grass and dirt out of engine cowling as
these will stop the flow of air and decrease en-
gine life.
6. BRAKE ADJUSTMENT. The brake band, located
on the left side of the transmission, brakes the trans-
mission and in turn stops the wheels.
To adjust, depress clutch brake pedal and move
parking brake lever forward into the engaged posi-
tion. Tighten nut on brake rod until both rear wheels
skid when tractor is pushed - parking brake en-
gaged. Tighten nut another ~ turn. The brake and
parking' brake are now properly adjusted.
7. CLUTCH-BRAKE PEDAL ADJUSTMENT. The
clutch-brake pedal rod may be turned in or out to
adjust the pedal to operator's desired position. Re-
move pin from rod and turn rod in or out for adjust-
ment. There are also two holes in the pedal to adjust
for travel. The upper hole is for a short movement
of travel, the lower hole is for a long movement.
S. When replacing belts or mounting drive im-
plements make sure all pulleys are in line.
9. BATTERY. Check electrolyte level periodically.
If tractor has been in storage it may be necessary to
recharge.
10. Your tractor is only as good as the service
you give it. See your Wheel Horse Dealer for a
thorough check-up after each season of use.
11. When replacing belts be sure to purchase gen-
uine Wheel Horse belts, as these belts are specifically
designed for each application.
(NOTE: Make sure all pulleys are in line.)
12. To raise seat/fender unit pull knob back. See
Fig. I. Seat should be latched before operating tractor.
