Stopping The Machine; Positioning The Seat - Toro Wheel Horse 8-25 Operator's Manual

Note: For reverse motion, with the PTO
engaged, the operating–in–reverse
feature must be deactivated by the "key
choice" switch located on the right
hand side panel just below and to the
rear of the seat.

Stopping the Machine

To stop the machine, push the clutch in and shift to
neutral ("N"). Disengage the power take off (PTO),
and turn the ignition key to "OFF" to stop the engine.
Also set the parking brake if you leave the machine
unattended; refer to Setting the Parking Brake,
page 17. Remember to remove the keys from the
ignition and "key choice" switches.
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 and "key
choice" keys and set the parking brake
when leaving the machine unattended, even
if just for a few minutes.
IMPORTANT: To prevent brake wear, do not
"Ride the Brakes". Shift to a lower speed for
slower ground speed. Choose a slow speed so
that you will not have to stop or shift while on
the slope.

Positioning the Seat

The seat can move forward and backward. Position
the seat where you have the best control of the
machine and are most comfortable.
1. Raise the seat and loosen the lock nuts (Fig. 9).
2. Slide the seat to the desired position and tighten
the lock nuts.
