turn the engine off and remove the ignition key.
Steering Tractors Equipped with Power Steering
When operating tractors equipped with power steering, do not
force the steering wheel to turn all they way to the left or right.
When reaching the end of the turning radius, allow the steering
wheel to back off slightly and avoid holding the wheel all the
way up against the steering stops.
Note: While on pavement, operating the power steering with
the engine running and the tractor at a stand-still, may cause the
front wheels to stutter. This is considered normal and will operate
smoothly under typical mowing conditions.
