OPERATING THE TRAOTOB
Two-speed Power Take-olf and Pulley
Engaging lever identical with the one referred to above, and shown
in Fig. 6. The control lever has three positions, indicated on the instruction
plate attached to the cover of the unit. With the control lever forward,
the pulley and P.T.O. shaft run at low speed; centre is neutral, and rear
position is for high speed.
Power Lift Control
(Fig. 7)
Movement of the lever in the direction indicated raises the lift. Two
sliding bolts are provided (Fig. 6); the N/S bolt locks the lift in the
raised position, whilst the 0/S bolt limits its fall and should only he used
with implements taking their depth control from the tractor.
Caution : This bolt must not be engaged with the hole in the lift arm.
Never run the tractor for long periods with the lift tever in the raised
position, unless an attachment is being used which requires hydraulic
pressure from the tractor system.
STARTING A.ND STOPPING
THE ENGINE
When cold the engine must be started on petrol : failure to observe
this instruction will result in undue engine wear, avoidable oil dilution
and difficulty in starting. Do not start the engine from cold with the
