TRACTOR OPERATION
STARTING A WARM ENGINE (Cont’d)
4. Move the throttle to the RUN position when
operating the machine (See Figure 10 on
Page 7).
NOTE: Operating conditions may not
require setting to full RUN position.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Place the throttle to the IDLE position and
allow the engine to idle for 30 seconds (See
Figure 11 on Page 7).
2. Place the throttle in the STOP position and
the engine should stop running (See Figure
12).
NOTE: Engine components get very hot
during operation. Stop the engine and
allow it to cool before doing any work on
the engine.
PARKING THE MACHINE
When parking the tractor for any period of time,
use the following procedure.
1. Stop the engine by placing the throttle con-
trol to the STOP position (See Figure 12).
OPERATING THE TOW VALVE
The TOW VALVE disengages the transmission
so the machine can be moved when the engine
is not running. This feature makes it easy to
move the machine without starting the engine.
TOW VALVE ON
When the TOW VALVE, A, is in the ON posi-
tion as shown, the machine can be pushed or
pulled without the engine running (See Figure
13).
NOTE: When the TOW VALVE is in the
ON position, the transmission will not pro-
pel the machine in forward or reverse
when the engine is running and the hydro-
static control lever is activated.
TOW VALVE OFF
When the TOW VALVE, A, is in the OFF posi-
tion as shown, the machine will be very hard to
push or pull with the engine is not running (See
Figure 14).
NOTE: When the TOW VALVE is in the
OFF position, the transmission will propel
the machine forward or reverse when the
engine is running and the hydrostatic con-
trol lever is activated.
