OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Note:
Hold the traction pedal in position when
stopping cruise control operation, otherwise the
machine will stop abruptly due to hydrostatic braking
action.
If it is an emergency and it becomes necessary to stop
suddenly while in cruise control, depress the service
brake pedal, this breaks the electrical circuit, returns
the traction pedal to neutral and stops the machine.
Stopping the Machine
- To stop the machine and
cease operation, take foot off traction pedal and apply
the brakes. Move the throttle lever to SLOW, ground
speed selector to LOW RANGE and deck lift controls to
neutral. Switch cruise control to OFF, set the parking
brake and turn ignition key to OFF. Remove the key if
the machine is to be left unattended.
LUBRICATION
The following must be lubricated regularly with No. 2 general purpose lithium or molybdenum base grease.
The chart below lists service intervals based upon normal operating conditions. However, lubricate more
frequently under extreme conditions. The left column numbers correspond with numbers in Fig. 31.
