ignition
key offand
remove the key.
Do not mow on slope in excess of 15 degrees (a rise
of approximately
2-1/2 feet every 10 feet).
Plan your mowing
pattern to avoid discharge
of
materials
toward
roads, sidewalks,
bystanders
and
the like. Also, avoid discharging
material against a
wall or obstruction
which may cause discharged
material to ricochet
back toward
the operator.
Stoppingthe Engine
WARNING: If you strike a foreign
object, stop
the engine and disconnect
the spark plug
wire(s). Thoroughly
inspect the machine for any
damage. Repair the damage before restarting

Steeringthe Tractor
Your i1000 series tractor is equipped
with an innovative
steering system. Turning the steering wheel not only
turns the front wheels, but also adjusts the position
of
the drive control linkage of the two hydro transmissions
that drive the tractor. This steering system allows you to
vary the radius of turns from a normal wide U-turn down
to a zero turn. Some practice may be needed to become
accustomed
to the steering of your tractor. The steering
works as follows:
•
The steering wheel turns approximately
two turns stop
to stop. With the center position
being the straight
ahead position.
•
Minor turns of the steering wheel from the center
position
(approximately
10° to 15°) turn only the front
axles and will result in wider turns.
•
Increasing the turn of the steering wheel (beyond
10°-
15°) results in increasingly
tighter
turns. As the steering
mechanism
turns the front wheels, it also changes the
position
of the transmission
drive control linkage to
slow down the inner rear wheel in the turn, and adjust
the speed of the outer wheel as necessary to complete
