OPERATION
The tractor is equipped with a valve lock
mechanism located between the operator and
control valve as shown. This feature allows the
control valve to be locked during transport or when
the loader is not in use to prevent accidental
actuation of the control valve and loader cylinders.
To activate the lock, push the lever away from the
operator, slide lever down then pull lever in towards
operator.
To release the lock mechanism, push the lever
away from the operator, slide lever up then pull
lever in towards operator.
The lock is not intended to, and will not prevent leak
down of the loader hydraulics during storage.
8. Loader Storage
Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off
the Equipment and be injured or killed. Inadvertent contact with controls can cause the
Implement to shift or fall crushing themselves or others.

Properly preparing and storing the loader at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance and
to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:
• Thoroughly clean all debris off the loader to
prevent damage from rotting grass and
standing water.
• Lubricate all grease points detailed in the
maintenance section.
• Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended
torque.
• Check worn and damaged parts. Perform
repairs and make replacements immediately so
that the loader will be ready for use at the start
of the next season.
• Store the loader in a clean, dry place resting
securely on parking stands at ground level.
• Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to
prevent rust and maintain the appearance of
the loader. OPS-L-0010_B
