PRECAUTIONS FOR PARKING
THE TRACTOR
• Disengage the PTO, lower all implements to the
ground, place all control levers in their neutral
positions, set the parking brake, stop the engine,
remove the key from the ignition, and lock the cab
door if equipped. Leaving the transmission in gear
with the engine stopped will not prevent the tractor

stop before getting off the tractor.
• Avoid parking on steep slopes. If it is at all possible,
park on a firm and level surface. If it is not at all
possible to park on a firm and level surface, park
across a slope and chock the wheels.
Failure to comply with the preceding warning may
allow the tractor to move and could cause injury or
death.

stopped before getting off the tractor, connecting,
