AND P.T.O
FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE
The front-wheel drive is controlled by a lever
①
located on the left lower side of operator’s
platform.
To engage front-wheel drive, move the lever
completely upwards. To disengage front-wheel
drive, move the lever fully downward.
IMPORTANT: Use front-wheel drive when
additional traction is required while operating on
loose soil, in wet, slippery conditions, or on
slopes. For normal operation on firm soil, level
hard surfaces, or when roading the unit at high
speeds, disengage the front-wheel drive to
maximize tire and driveline life and to economize
on fuel.
