depress the forward foot pedal. The ground speed
control lever is located onthe right-hand side
ofthe instrument panel, Operation To maintain a
desired ground speed. move the ground speed
control lever to the left and upward, positioning
it in a notch that maintains desired ground
speed.
If ground speed control is not set for maximum
ground speed.
fhe control can be over-ridden by depressing the
forward
pedal to increase the ground speed not the engine
speed.
When forw'ard pedal is released, the speed
control will main-
tain the previously set ground speed. To
instanfly disengage the speed control. apply the

the two speed axle control must be in either the
HI or LOW range.7hetroctorwiIl not drive with
this control in neutral N (Fig. 2.3A). The LOW
range setting allows the tractor to perform
heavier work or operate on more difficult
terrain. The HI range setting is suitable for
light to moderate work on level ground. Exper-
ience will quickly allow the operator to choose
the correct setting 7o operate Shift axle range

frequentwashings.Wash the tractor with either
warm (Never Hot) or cold water. Do not wash your
tractor in the direct rays of the sun. and not
while the sheet metal surfaces are hot.Neverwipe
dirt from a dry pointed surface, as this may
scratch the finish. Polishing your tractor with a
paste wax will provide an added degree of
protection against tar. oil. tree sap and other
foreign mafter.
