OPERATION
FRONT LIFT
The front lift control valve is equipped with a detent
float position. Always use “FLOAT” position when
mowing, sweeping, etc.
The QUICK HITCH allows fast interchange of
attachments. Push down on hitch control handle to
open latches. Install the attachment. Pull up control
handle to close and lock latches. See PTO BELT
DRIVE for power driven attachments and drive belt
installation.
PTO BELT DRIVE
A belt drive is provided for power transfer to
attachments. The PTO drive is designed so that the
harder the attachment pulls the tighter the belt gets
and wraps more on the pulley.
When PTO is engaged the idler arm is on the slack
side which causes the belt to wrap more around the
pulleys.
With the PTO engaged, as the front lift moves up and
down, the attachment pulley (moving with the front
lift) pulls on the double idler and keeps a constant
tension on both drive belts.
The attachment drive belt is installed around the left
hitch arm before the attachment is connected to the
front lift Quick Hitch.
To install the drive belt:
1. Turn the engine off and remove the key.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL BELTS OR
MAKE BELT ADJUSTMENTS WITH THE
ENGINE RUNNING.
2. Lift up on the belt release catch located on the
right front frame and push toward the center of
the tractor.
3. Install the implement drive belt on the pulleys and
pull the roll pin T-handle to reengage the release
catch.
Each time a PTO belt driven attachment is installed,
it is necessary to check the drive belt tension. See
ADJUSTMENTS for adjustment instructions.
AUXILIARY HYDRAULICS
The auxiliary valve and quick couplers are standard
equipment. Keep dust covers in place when couplers
are not in use. Float position is provided for those
attachments which require float.
