Remove Tractor From The Skid
c
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Do not start and drive
tractor from the skid.
1. Move to the rear of the tractor. On the rear of the tractor
locate free-wheeling knob (A) and pull it rearward until it
locks into a fully extended position. This releases the hydro
lock in the transmission, allowing it to free-wheel in order to
move tractor.
2. With one person in the front, and the other in the rear,
steer straight, and gently push the tractor rearward off the
skid to a level area.
3. Push the free-wheeling knob to its original position so
that the knob is fully seated.
NOTE: Failure to push the free-wheeling knob forward
to the drive position will result in the tractor not
propelling itself when the shift lever is moved into
forward or reverse.
