ground speed control lever is located on the
right-hand side of the instrument panel.
Operation To maintain a desired ground speed,
move the ground
speed control lever to the left and upward,
positioning itin a notch that maintains desired
ground speed. If pround speed control is not set
for maximum ground speed. the
control can be over-ridden by depressing the
forward pedal to
increase the ground speed not the engine speed.
When forward pedal is released, the speed control
will maintain the previously set ground speed.
To instantly disengage the speed control, apply
the brake clutch
pedal. The ground speed control can also be
released by hand with a slight leftward nudge.
NOTE The reverse pedal islocked out when
ground speed control is engaged. The ground speed
control lever
must be in the released position before the
tractor can be reversed.
The use of the ground speed control function is
not possible when tractor is operateci in reverse.

3 TRIAL RUN
TRANSMISSION OVER HMTING When using the tractor
for extreme and/or continuous work during very
warm weather the transmission may start toslip.
The slippage is caused by the oil in transmission
being too hot.
Now that you have located the controls and
understand their
operation and function it is time to test ride
your new tractor.
Do this without operating an attachment until you
have the
feel of the unit.
A
WARNING To avoid personal injury,give complete
and undivided attention to safe operation of the
kactor. Remember, improper use of the tractor is
hazardous. WARNING To avoid personal injury from
overturns, do not use wheel weights, a weight
box, or any additional weights for stability when
operating hoc tor on hills.
When slipping occurs the transmission must be
cooled down.
This isdone by letting the tractor idle for a
short time or shut the
engine off and allow transmixion to
cool. IMPORTANT If tractor is used while
transmission is slipping, serious damage to the
transmission could result.

• (For increased traction, use only authorized
  wheel weights).
• This tractor is equipped with an interlock system
  which will allow the engine to start only if the
  brake clutch pedal is fully depressed, the P.T.O.
  is in the OFF position and the operator is
  properly seated.
• BEFORE STARLING
• Be cerfain that the engine crankcase is filled
  with oil and the engine service instructions
  have been followed com- pletely.
• Sit on the tractor seot in the normal operating
  position.
• Move P.T.O. to OFF position.
• Set engine speed control in mid-position between
  SLOW and FAST.
• Pull choke outward if starling a cold engine.
  Choke might
• not be required if starting a warm engine.
• ó. Select the desired axle range. Low is
  recommended for

LUBRICATION IMPORTANT Apply oil and grease
carefully and only where required. Oil or grease
on drive belts or pulleys will cause slip-
pageand loss of drive. Thoroughlywipeup any
excess grease, oil and spills. For maximum
efficiency and trouble free service, make the
following periodic inspections of the tractor.
For engine main- tenance, refer to the SET-UP AND
ASSEMBLY section (Initial fVÏCÏF\Çj). 1. The
engine oil should be changed after the first 5
hours of operation (thereafter every 25 hours).
The oil drain cap is located on the right-hand
side of engine just above frame or directly in
front of the engine. Place tractor on a level
surface. Place an oil drain pan under drain and
remo'ze oil drain cap. The best time to change
oil is just ofier the engine has been run. After
the oil has been drained. replace the oil drain
cap. Remove the oil fill cap and dipstick. For
proper type of oil and crankcase capacity refer
to the SET-UP AND ASSEMBLY section (Initial
Servicing'g. Add half of required amount of oil,
oil capacity is 1.5 _at_ts.(1.4 liters)for 18 H.P.
and 2 _at_ts.(1.9 Iiters)for 14 H.P. Check oil

oil level on dipstick. Do not overkill. When
checking oil level, push dipstick assembly firmly
but slowly until cap bottoms on lube. Dipstick
assembly must be
securely assembled into tube at all times when
