WHEEL SPEED SHIFT
LEVER-High
and
Low
Speeds/Free Wheeling: Lever on the
right
side
at the
operator
position
controls
the wheels. The
wheels will
not
turn
unless you
shift
this lever
into
gear-see
2 in Photo 2/1. Photos 2/6A,
2/68,
and
2/6C
show the Wheel Speed Shift
Lever
positions
for
High Speed (A), Free Wheel-
ing (B), and
Low
Speed (C).
1.
For
Low
Speed,
shift
the Wheel Speed Shift
Lever
down
and
gently
roll the
tiller
back and
forth a few inches
to
engage the gears. When
this lever is in gear, you will
no
longer
be
able
to roll the tiller.
To
protect
the gears, always
shift
the
Wheel Speed Shift Lever when the
Forward/Reverse Lever
is
in Neutral.
2.
For High Speed
tilling
and cultivating,
shift
the Wheel Speed
Shift
Lever upward and roll
the
wheels a few inches
to
engage the gears.
See 2 in Photo 2/1. Again, make sure
that
the
Forward/Reverse Lever is in Neutral before you
attemptto change wheel speeds.
3.
For Free
Wheeling-to
move the
tiller
about
without
power-simply
put
the Wheel Speed
Shift Lever
in between High and
Low
gear
po-
sitions. There should
be
no
"clicking
noise"
from the rolling wheels when
you're
complete-
ly
out
of
gear.
If
you
hear such a noise,
just
shift
the lever a little more in one
direction
or
the
other
to eliminate the
noise-and
the rubbing
of
the gear
that
causes
it-see
Photo 2/6 (B).
PLEASE
don't
use
the
Wheel Speed Shift Lever
to
stop
tiller
motion. When
the
wheels are
turn-
ing
the
gears are locked and it is very
difficult
to move the Wheel Speed
Shift
Lever
out
of
gear. Instead, use the Forward/Reverse Lever
to stop
tiller
motion.
Then, if
you
wish
to
change
wheel speeds, you can
do
so freely.
CAUTION:
If
you
put
the
tiller
in Reverse
while
the
wheels are in
high
gear, the reverse
motion
will also be at the faster speed. It's best
to
use
reverse in
low
gear
always-at
least until
you're
sure
you
can handle it
while
reversing in the
higher
gear.
