PARK BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake
pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor’s rear wheels can
roll with the park brake applied (and the hydrostatic relief valve
open), the brake is in need of adjustment. See your authorized
service dealer to have the brake adjusted.
HYDROSTATIC NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
If the tractor creeps forward or rearward when neither the
forward nor reverse pedal is depressed, contact your local
authorized dealer to have the neutral setting properly adjusted.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
If your tractor pulls to one side or is out of alignment, a wheel
alignment might be necessary. Contact an authorized service
dealer to have the wheels properly aligned.

the engine, ENGAGE the park brake.
