OPERATION
Figure 22 - Speed Range Combinations
IMPORTANT: Avoid using the clutch pedal as a
“footrest” (riding the clutch). Prolonged operation in
this manner can cause damage to the clutch
components.
IMPORTANT: When shifting down on the go, shift
through each gear sequence. Skipping gears while
down shifting can damage components due to over
speed.
HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION
The hydrostatic transmission is controlled by the
clutch pedal, H.S.T. foot pedal, Figure 16, range
selector lever and speed control lever, Figure 23.
Figure 23 - H.S.T. Controls
When operating the range selector lever, place the
H.S.T. foot pedal in Neutral position or depress the
clutch pedal. If it is difficult to engage, slightly
depress the H.S.T. foot pedal, and operate the
clutch pedal for smooth engagement.
Never engage or disengage the range selector when
the tractor is in motion.
With the range selector in “H”, ground speed can be
varied from zero to maximum speed by
depressing the forward or reverse pads on the
rocker pedal until the desired speed is attained. In
“L” range, speeds are about 25% of maximum and
in “M” range 52% of maximum. Maximum speeds in
reverse are about two-thirds of maximum forward
speeds.
To stop the tractor, release the pedal gradually
(except in an emergency). When released, the
pedal returns to the Neutral position automatically,
stopping the tractor. Sudden release can result in an
abrupt, and possibly dangerous, stop.
For prolonged operation at a fixed forward speed,
use the forward pedal pad to attain the desired
speed, then move the speed control lever to the
“LOCK” position. Speed will remain at the set value
when the pedal is released. For temporary speed
increases, depress the forward pedal further. When
the pedal is released, speed will return to the
setting. For temporary speed reduction, depress the
rear pedal pad.
To cancel the speed setting or stop the tractor, move
the speed control lever to the “UNLOCK” position.
Independent brake application is possible with the
speed control lever in the “LOCK” position, but when
applying both brakes together, be sure to disengage
the clutch.
Engaging and disengaging front wheel drive with the
hydrostatic transmission are the same as with the
mechanical transmission.
