lieve pressure, push down

the hitch latch.
Raise the front hitch latch lever to the unlock po-
sition (1) to unlock the hitch latch when attach
-
ing or detaching a front mounted attachment.
Lower the front hitch latch lever to the lock po-
sition (2) to lock the hitch latch over the hitch
arm pins on the attachment. Ensure the lever
is secured in the frame notch and the front
hitch latch lever lock is in place.

The front hitch latch lever lock prevents the accidental
release of the front hitch latch lever. To release the
front hitch latch lever, lift the tab on the front hitch
latch lever lock, then move the front hitch latch lever

Neutral Assist Lever (J)
Placing the neutral assist lever in the On

position (2) engages the neutral assist
spring to help return the SDLA control lever
to the neutral position. This makes the
neutral position easy to select and maintain.
The neutral assist On position is recom-
mended when learning the operation of the
power unit, loading or unloading the power unit,
attaching and removing attachments, and whenever
the operator is unsure of the power unit’s response to
the task being performed.
Placing the neutral assist lever in the Off position (1)
disengages the neutral assist spring. This position
is designed for experienced operators when using
the power unit in open areas where travel speed and
direction are relatively constant and control is easily
maintained. The neutral assist Off position reduces
operator arm fatigue when using the power unit for
prolonged periods of time.
CAUTION
Stopping the power unit with the neutral assist lever
in the Off position requires the operator to manually
return the SDLA control lever or foot pedal to the
neutral position.
Auxiliary Hydraulic Quick Couplers (K)
The two couplers are a part of the auxiliary hydraulic
circuit and are used with an attachment which re-
quires hydraulics (e.g. to angle a dozer blade or rotate
the discharge on a snow blower).
