8-50 Periodic Maintenance and Adjustment
After Break-In:
The vehicle can now be operated normally.
Brake System Break-in
Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly forceful
braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and rotors.
CVT Break-in (Clutches/Belt)
A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and better
performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower speeds during the
break-in period as recommended. Pull only light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration
and high speed operation during the break-in period.
Parking
When parking, stop the engine and shift the brave select lever into the park position,
then turn the fuel cock to the “OFF” position.
Parking on a slope
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Parking on a hill or other incline.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The TRACTOR could roll out of control,
increasing the chance of an accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Avoid parking on hills or other inclines.
If you must park on an incline, place the
machine transversely across the incline,
apply the parking brake, and block the front
and rear wheels with
rocks or other objects.
Do not park the TRACTOR at all on hills that
are so steep you could not walk up them
easily.
1. Bring the machine to a stop by applying the brakes.
2. Stop the engine.
3. With the brake pedal applied, shift the drive select lever to the park position “P”.
