HST TRANSMISSION
Make sure you have read Section 1, SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, and Section 5, OPERATION before attempting to follow
these tips.
Now, set the parking brake, place the Hi-LO range lever to neutral, depress the clutch and start the engine per instructions.
When the tractor is sufficiently warmed up, at least 5 minutes, you are ready to move the tractor using the HST travel pedal.
Think of the HST travel pedal as a transmission, not a throttle. Release the parking brake, depress the clutch and place the
Hi-Lo range lever to the desired range. Set the throttle to the desired speed and, if the area is clear, press the front section
of the HST travel pedal with your foot to proceed forward. Note that a slight push allows the tractor only to move slowly
forward. The more pressure applied, the faster the tractor will travel, and total speed will depend on which range H, M, or L
you have chosen and the throttle speed setting. In L (low) range, the tractor will move slowly even with the travel pedal
pushed all the way down. In M (mid) the tractor will move faster through the travel pedal range and H (Hi) will allow for the
fastest speed.
It must be understood that at a given engine speed the tractor's pulling power will be decreased with each successive
increase in range from low to hi. In other words, a throttle set at 2200 RPM, range lever in L will have a lower travel speed,
but increased pulling power than when range lever is set to M, and M will have a slower travel speed but higher pulling power
than when the range is set to H. Conversely, the tractor will have a faster travel speed and less pulling power in H than M,
and M than L.
This arrangement will dictate which Hi-Lo range you should use. If you need strong pulling power to handle a heavy
implement such as a brush cutter in high grass, you may wish to select either L or M on the Hi-Lo selector. If the engine
seems too loaded (bogs down or "lugs"), shift the range selector to the next lowest setting for more pulling power (always
stop the tractor and depress the clutch before changing settings).
