The steering is locked and the park brake is hydrau-
lically applied while the neutral switch is engaged.
1. Move hydrostatic drive control lever (A) to
neutral (left position as shown in Figure 69)
park (E).
2. Move field/road switch (C) to field position
3. Move engine speed switch (B) to low throttle
position . Allow the engine to operate at
low rpm for 1-3 minutes.
4. Lower pickup to the ground.
IMPORTANT! After engine has stopped,
remove the key to prevent unauthorized

OPERATING ENGINE

Hot Weather Operation
IMPORTANT! Liquid coolant conditioner
is NOT an antifreeze or a cooling system
sealer.
Protect the engine cooling system against corrosive
action by using 50% antifreeze (ethylene-glycol
type without a stop-leak additive) and 50% clean,
soft water. DO NOT use a high silicate automotive
grade antifreeze.
Refer to your engine manual for recommended
fuels, lubricants, and coolant. Also available
are necessary additives for use when operating
engines in tropical, arctic, or any other adverse
conditions.
Practice in a large, open area that is smooth, level
and free of obstacles and people.
NOTE: When in Reverse, the steering input is
backwards; turn the wheel to the right (clock-
wise) to turn to the left, and turn the wheel to
the left (counterclockwise) to turn to the right.
CAUTION
The rear wheel of the machine can swing
in a wider path than the front wheels (this
is more pronounced the sharper the turn).
Give yourself plenty of room when turning
so as not to run into a person or object with
the rear of the machine.
The machine will react very quickly to steering
inputs, so start at slow speed with very small inputs
until you learn how the machine reacts.
Place the Engine Speed Switch in the low throttle
position and start the machine (see Figure
70).
