The Smart Turn

Steering

Feature

The Smart Turn

Steering feature automatically

lowers the speed of the tractor in tight turns. The
decrease in speed is directly proportional to the
sharpness of the turn, up to a maximum speed
reduction of 40 percent. This allows you to make
turns at higher speeds without having to change the
speed control position. After the turn, the original
speed is automatically restored.

The Smart Turn

Steering feature does not affect

engine speed.

This system was set at the factory and should not
need adjustment.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

•

Excessive speed when turning can result in
rollover accidents.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

•

Rollover accidents can result in serious
injury or death.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

•

Do not rely on the Smart Turn

Steering

feature to avoid accidents while turning.

•

Do not set the cruise control at higher
speeds when operating on uneven terrain
or slopes.

•

Read, understand, and follow all
instructions in the operator’s manual and
on the machine before starting.

Pushing the Machine by Hand

IMPORTANT: Always push the machine by
hand. Never tow the machine because
transmission damage may occur.

To Push the Machine

1.

Disengage the power take off (PTO) and turn the
ignition key to “STOP” to stop the engine.

2.

Move the High–Low range lever to the neutral
position “N.” This allows the rear wheels to turn
freely.

3.

Place the lever back in High or Low after
moving the machine, and set the parking brake.
