Operating Instructions

4.6.5 Towing, hauling and dragging
1.
Use the drawbar supplied with the tractor. The
drawbar is equipped with a clevis and clevis
pin and can be used with the clevis up, down
or removed to suit the requirements. Mounting
holes are provided along its length to offer a
range of adjustments to suit the application. It is
recommended to remove the drawbar when not
in use and store it in the shed or safe place for
use when needed.
2.
Ensure the tractor has sufficient ballast to
control the trailer/implement in the environment
and conditions it is being operated in. Make
certain the tractor is not overloaded with ballast.
4.6.6 Operating the P.T.O.
1.
The two speed P.T.O. provides standard 540
as well as 1000 rpm. The P.T.O. control is a
three position lever. Push the lever forward for
540rpm, and rearward for 1000 rpm with neutral
in between.
2.
Most P.T.O. driven implements in Australia are
designed to run at 540rpm. Do not run 1000
speed P.T.O. rpm unless it is specified by the
implement manufacturer.
3.
Engage the P.T.O. by fully depressing the clutch
and shifting the P.T.O. control lever forward for
540 rpm rating. Release the clutch slowly when
driving an implement then increase the tractor
engine rpm using the hand throttle to operating
speed.
4.
Ensure the tractor is firmly secured with the park
brake engaged when carrying out stationary
operations, such as wood chipping, log splitting
and using the backhoe.
