Stopping the Machine

To stop the machine, release the traction control

take off (PTO), lower the attachment lift, and turn the
ignition key to STOP. Also set the parking brake if
you leave the machine unattended; refer to Setting the
Parking Brake, page 14. Remember to remove the
key from the ignition switch.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Someone could move or attempt to operate
the tractor while it is unattended.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Children or bystanders may be injured if
they use the tractor.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always remove the ignition key and set the
parking brake when leaving the machine
unattended, even if just for a few minutes.
Re–centering the Steering
Wheel
The power steering will not always return the steering
wheel to the centered position. When this happens,
the steering wheel will appear to be un–centered
when the front wheels return to the straight–ahead
position.
This is not a mechanical problem, but if it happens to
your vehicle and you wish to re–center the steering
wheel, you may do so:
1. Note the degree to which the steering wheel is
out of center, then turn the steering wheel all the
way in the opposite direction until the front
wheels no longer turn.
2. Continue turning the steering wheel by the
degree to which it is off center.
3. Now turn the steering wheel in the other
direction until the front wheels aim straight
ahead. The steering wheel should now be
centered.
