PARKING THE TRACTOR
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
Before dismounting tractor
• Always set parking brake and lower all
implements to the ground.
Leaving the transmission in gear with the
engine stopped will not prevent the tractor from
accidental rolling.
• Stop the engine and remove the key.
1. Before getting off the tractor, disengage the PTO,
lower all implements, place all control levers in their
neutral positions, pull the parking/secondary brake
lever to park, stop the engine and remove the key.
2. If it is necessary to park on an incline, be sure to
chock the wheels to prevent accidental rolling of the
machine.

IMPORTANT :
• Do not leave your tractor in the rain. If it cannot
be avoided, cover the muffler pipe to prevent
water from entering.
NOTE :
• After stopping the machine, be sure to apply the
parking brake.
When the key switch is turned off with no
parking brake applied, the warning buzzer
sounds for around 10 seconds.
• Once the parking brake has been applied, the
machine sets itself in the 4-wheel drive mode.
This helps the 4 wheels to increase their
gripping force on slopes.
