Your power unit has three mounting positions for
the steering cylinder that determine the power unit’s
turning radius.
1 1
2 2
3 3
Position
#
1: Standard position. This position is the stan-
dard position, and enables the tightest turning radius.
Position
#
2: Dual wheel position. The steering cylin-
der must be installed in this position when operating
with dual wheels. The resulting turning radius will be
larger than in position
# 1.
Position
#
3: Cab and Versa-loader position. The
steering cylinder must be installed in this position
when the cab is installed or when operating the
Versa-loader. The resulting turning radius will be
larger than in position

Some light and medium duty implements (non-PTO
powered) can be used on the rear of a 3 point hitch
equipped power unit.
The 3 point hitch is equipped with adjustable lift links
to control the individual draw bars. The stabilizing
links can be allowed to swing freely or can be locked
at a desired position.

Certain attachments require a 12 volt auxiliary out-
let. Plug the attachment’s 12 volt power cord into the
12 volt 4-pin plug located above the front auxiliary
quick couplers. Two switches are used to control
the actions of the 12 volt kit. A momentary on/off/on
is used for controlling movement that is only used
for a brief time. The on/off switch is used to activate
equipment or select different functions.

LOPES
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY!
Operation on slopes decreases power unit stabil-
ity and increases the potential for unexpected
dif fi culties. Only experienced operators should
operate the power unit on slopes and extra cau-
tion should be exercised.
• Use low range when operating on slopes
greater than 15 degrees.
• Never shift between high and low range while
on a slope. Always move the machine to level
ground and place the selector lever in park
before shifting range.
• Avoid uneven, loose, or wet terrain.
• Stay clear of drop-offs, holes, ditches, rocks,
or objects that could cause a sudden and/or
unexpected force on the power unit.
• Make slow and cautious starts, stops, and turns.
• Do not exceed the maximum degree of
operation. Refer to illustrations.
• Turn downhill when possible and/or reduce
the degree of turns.
• Assure a suf fi cient supply of fuel for continu-
ous operation. A minimum of one-half tank of
fuel is recommended.
• To prevent fuel spillage, do not remove the
fuel tank cap while power unit is on a slope.
• Failure to follow items listed or to use com-
mon sense while operating on slopes can
result in injury or death. Always operate on
slopes with caution.
