Operating the Tractor
Lift Variations When Using
Attachments
When a front-mounted attachment such as a
snowthrower or dozer blade is used with the tractor, the
lift mechanism must be locked to provide downward
force. When the mower is reinstalled the downward
pressure lock must be released so that the mower can
float.
