RUN-IN PERIOD
Before operating the tractor at full load, it should be operated
at one-half throttle for approximately one half hour with no
load applied. After the first half hour of operation, run the
tractor at full throttle with no load applied for an additional
one-half hour.
Attach a light load to the tractor. Operate the tractor with light
load for a period of three hours at full throttle. The tractor is
now ready for normal load operation.
NOTE
Always operate the engine at full throttle for best attachment
performance.
OPERATION
Before driving the HUSKY, the operator should be familiar
with the location and functions of all controls.
Place transmission lever in PARK position. Start the tractor
and allow it to warm up.
Placing the transmission lever in PARK position locks the
speed control pedal in its centered or neutral position, to
prevent use of speed control pedal when selector lever is in
PARK.
Figure 6
Release constant speed hold pedal with heel of left foot
before again attempting to change speed with the speed
control pedal, or stopping tractor. (See Figures 6 and 7.)
Figure 7
CAUTION
Do not use constant speed hold pedal for a foot rest at any
time.
Depress foot brake (Figure 4, Reference 6) and place
transmission lever in DRIVE position.
ALWAYS DEPRESS FOOT BRAKE PEDAL BEFORE
MOVING TRANSMISSION LEVER INTO "NEUTRAL",
"PARK" OR "DRIVE" POSITION TO AVOID CREEPING.
Release brake pedal, and slowly apply pressure to the speed
control pedal with toe of right foot for forward motion, or if
reverse motion is desired, slowly apply pressure to speed
control pedal with heel of right foot. (See Figure 7.)
The hydraulic lift lever can be maneuvered while vehicle is at
rest or in motion. Push lever to raise and pull back on lever to
lower attachments.
When the lever is released, it will automatically return to
NEUTRAL position and hold, except when in the FLOAT
position. Pull lift lever all the way back to lock in FLOAT
position. The FLOAT position can be used when the operator
wants the attached implement to follow ground contours. (See
Figure 9.)
