The lever has 3 positions. Forward pos. disengages the P.T.O. Centre position places P.T.O. in neutral. Rearward engages the P.T.O.
Note: If Draft and Position control lever is not in proper neutral position, hydraulic system will overheat. Independent to synchronous P.T.O. drive control rod (Fig. 2-23) The control lever is located under the operator seat. Turning the lever counter-clockwise engages the ground speed P.T.O. For independent P.T.O. drive turn the lever clockwise. Gear shift lever (Fig. 2-24)
The lockout lever has four positions. The top position serves a s a lock-out for all hydraulic functions. E.g. with the lever in the uppermost position, "Lock", the system becomes totally inoperative and thus serves as a safeguard while moving the tractor a n d plow or loader in a raised position to a site. Moving the lever to the next position "Off" reactivates the hydraulic system. The third position "On" engages the weight transfer system, while the lower most position partially cancells the rate of weight transfer and releases pressure in the hydraulic system.
Weight transfer pressure control knob (Fig. 2-19)
The gear shift lever also selects 'High' or 'Low' range. First select the range by moving the lever into the range and returning it to neutral - then select forward or reverse speecls.
T h e 3 point hitch mountetl equip~nentis utilized for weight transfer. With the equipment lowered to the working depth, place Hydraulic 1,ock-out and weight transfer lever into the "On" position. Turn knob counter-clockwise to increase rate of transfer or clockwise to decrease the rate. T h e system is properly iitljusted when movement of the inounted equipment is visible, but not noticeable, to the operator. (In areas within the field where weight transfer is not desired the lever may be held down to reduce the effect.) Once the system is properly adjusted i t neecl not be touched unless the implement is exchanged with one lighter or heavier in weight. or suction.
Draft and Position Control lever (Fig. 2-20) To raise the 3 point hitch pull the lever all the w a y down; to lower, push lever against the limiting screw. Note: For draft or position control all main hydraulic control levers must be in the neutral position. The hydraulic lock-out and weight transfer lever must be in the "Off" or "lock" (preferred) position.

Ballast The safety and performance of your tractor will be improved if the correct amount of front or rear ballast is used to obtain the proper amount of rear wheel slippage. Front ballast will help maintain stability and steering control when front weight is transferred to the rear wheels. The amount of rear ballast should permit operation with approx. 8 - 12 percent slip of the rear wheels. If too much ballast is used, the tread marks will be clear and distinct. Over ballasting results in less power available to pull the implement because more power is required to overcome tractor rolling resistance. With too little rear ballast, the tread marks will be obliterated by excessive slippage which also results in horsepower loss and excessive fire wear. Consult your Belarus dealer for advice and assistance regarding use of liquid ballast. Note: Tires must not be filled with more than a 75% liquid to 25% air ratio. To prevent tire slippage on the rim the correct inflation pressure must be maintained.

SAFETY FIRST
According to accident statistics compiled annually, farming i s dangerous business. M a n y farmers die each year in preventable tractor accidents and m a n y more are hurt. Most accidents can be eliminated b y simple observance of t h e following safety rules - be s u r e you and your operators are familiar w i t h them. Use your n e w Belarus safely. When a n implement i s to be left on the tractor which is not in use, never leave it in a raised position. A l w a y s lower it. Place the shift lever in neutral a n d set the parking brake w h e n the tractor is stopped. Never oil, grease o r adjust the tractor while it i s moving. Do not leave t h e engine running while adjustments o r repairs a r e made to the tractor o r d r a w n equipment. Hydraulic oil under pressure can cause injury b y penetrating the skin or blinding. A l w a y s be s u r e all connections a r e tight a n d there is no damage to the hoses. Relieve all hydraulic pressure before disconnecting hoses. Do not smoke w h e n filling batteries. Avoid open flame. Like gasoline, vaporized diesel fuel is dangerous a n d volatile. Use caution handling a n y fuel. Do not smoke while filling the tank or servicing the fuel s y s t e m and avoid refuelling the tractor when the engine is running. Use extreme caution w h e n towing loads at road speed. Avoid h a r d application of t h e brakes. Drive slowly over rough ground. Adjust headlights s o they will not hinder, the vision of oncoming drivers. A l w a y s display a s l o w moving vehicle sign w h e n driving the tractor on a road o r highway. Keep the speed d o w n on hillsides and curves to avoid danger of tipping. Keep sleeves, jackets and other clothing tight a n d belted. T a k e extra care with clothing w h e n near moving parts. Keep a well maintained fire extinguisher in the c a b a t all times and k n o w how to use it properly. Never s t a r t or r u n the tractor in a closed shed or garage. Do not start o r r u n the tractor except from the drivers seat. Never allow a n y person to ride on the h i t c h , , d r a w b a r o r a n y part of the tractor except the cab. A n operator a n d one rider may occupy the c a b safely. During tight t u r n s with implements, lift them from the ground to prevent damage to sidewalls. Normal operating t u r n s pose no problem. Avoid jerky s t a r t s when driving out of ditches, gullies o r on steep hills. Engage the clutch slowly. Do not operate near the edge of a ditch o r gully and w a t c h for irregularities s u c h a s holes or large stones when operating on hillsides. Never allow t h e tractor to coast when descendng steep hills o r grades. A l w a y s use a gear low enough to maintain complete control. A l w a y s use the d r a w b a r when hitching heavy loads to be towed. When hitching equipment to the d r a w b a r a l w a y s be s u r e that in making the connection the tractor is moving a w a y from the equipment. A l w a y s check past t h e clevis then move forward. Common sense is the best safety guideline. A l w a y s think every action through, especially if it i s a new o r unfamiliar procedure.

Fuel quality affects the performance a n d service life of a diesel engine. Use of cheap, low quality fuel oil m a y prove costly d u e to reduced engine life, increased overhaul a n d service costs.
Fuel Specifications
Use of series 3 oil is necessary only w h e n s u l p h u r content of diesel fuel exceeds 0.6% When selecting viscosity consider the: average temperature at your average daily s t a r t time expected in the period covered b y your next service cycle. Select oil from the following table:
Temperature Above 0 O to - 20 Below - 20
O C
G r a d e No 1 - D or g r a d e No 2 - D diesel fuel in accordance w i t h A S T M D975 should be used, final selection being dictated b y temperature. Generally, g r a d e No 1 - D should be used from late fall to spring. G r a d e No 2 - D from spring to late fall. If a choice of fuels is available, select the product w i t h the lowest s u l p h u r , w a t e r and sediment content. At altitudes in excess of 5,000' use g r a d e No 1 - D irrespective of temperature.
Refueling the tractor
When using S A E 5 or S A E 5W - 20 oil increased consumption m a y occur. Check your d i p stick a t more frequent intervals.
If your fuel storage t a n k outlet is not fitted with a filter use a 1000 mesh filter screen w h e n refueling. O n completion of the day's operation fill t a n k to minimize condensation.
Fuel Storage
Proper fuel storage is vitally important to the operation of y o u r tractor. Because of climatic variations w e strongly recommend that your local oil company representative i s consulted when planning y o u r storage facility.
Lubricants
T o minimize total operating costs use high quality lubricants of specified grade i s essential. Use of inferior, low cost grease a n d oils will result in increased w e a r a n d overhaul costs.
