USING THE HYDRAULIC LIFT LEVER
The hydraulic lift system provides power for raising
and positioning three point hitch and belly mounted
equipment. To raise an attachment using the
hydraulic lift system, the engine must be running.
Generally, an attachment can be lowered with the
engine running or off.
• Move the lift lever forward in the slot to lower
the equipment to the desired height setting.
Refer to Figure 18.
Figure 18
• Move the lift lever rearward in the slot to raise
the equipment.
• Move the lift lever fully forward and to the right
ahead of the float lock gate to lock the lift in the
float position.
ENGAGING THE PTO
WARNING: The operator must be in the
seat at all times when the PTO is
engaged. If the operator should leave
the seat without turning off the PTO
switch, the tractor’s engine will shut off.
• Move the throttle handle to the mid throttle
position. See Figure 19.
• Push the top of the PTO switch downward to
engage the PTO (See Figure 19). The PTO
light on the instrument panel will come on.
• Observing the tachometer on the instrument
panel, use the throttle handle to increase the
engine speed to the PTO operating range
(3400-3600 rpm).
Figure 19
• Push the bottom of the switch downward to
disengage the PTO.
IMPORTANT : Normally the PTO will not
operate when the tractor is driven in the reverse
direction. The PTO reverse override switch
must be activated to operate the PTO while
traveling in reverse.
