HIGH - LOW RANGE SELECTION
(Se rial No. 1001 - 3172)
(Not Il lus trated)
These units used two selector levers, located on the
front and rear transaxle.
Note: Always shift the front and rear teransaxles to
the same range on units with two selector levers.
(Se rial No. 3173 - 4630)
These units use one selector lever to shift both
transaxles. The selector lever is mounted on the front
transaxle and connects to the rear transaxle with a
cable.
Select ranges only when the unit is stationary and on
a level surface.
Do not attempt to select ranges on slopes or
when the unit is traveling. Select ranges only on
level surfaces. The single selector lever causes
both transaxles to be momentarily in neutral
between ranges. Tractor will coast if shifted on a
slope.
Shift carefully, to be sure the selector lever is
completely engaged. A slight forward or reverse
movement may be necessary for complete gear
engagement.
(Se rial No. 4631 - )
Beginning with Serial No. 4631 a locking device has
been installed on the gear range selector levers. The
units are shipped with the transaxle gear range
selector in HIGH (2) range. This range selection is
recommended for most of the operating tasks. If
slower speeds and more responsive F-R control is
needed, use LOW (1) range selection. See
instructions for transaxle range selection in section
4.6
