500 HOUR MAIN SERVICE

Check function of the operator 
presence switch

Check the switch for correct function every 500 hours of
operation or at least once annually. When doing the fol-
lowing checks, do so in a clear open area with no other
persons or objects near the tractor:

OPERATION 1
Engage the parking brake and a gear. Get up from the
seat: the buzzer should sound.

OPERATION 2
While sitting on the operator's seat, with the engine run-
ning at low idle speed, and the F-N-R lever in NEUTRAL,
without engaging the parking brake, engage the 1st gear
and the slow range, and release the clutch pedal. Stand up
out of the operator's seat while holding onto the steering
wheel and move the F-N-R lever from NEUTRAL to either
FORWARD or REVERSE. The buzzer sounds and the indi-
cators N (neutral) and the forward or reverse arrow blink
on the instrument cluster. The tractor MUST NOT move.
If the tractor moves, see your dealer for repair.

OPERATION 3
While sitting on the operator's seat, with the engine run-
ning at low idle speed, put the F-N-R lever in FORWARD,
the transmission in 1st gear and slow range range and
release the clutch pedal to start the tractor moving. The
tractor should start slowly. Stand up out of the operator's
seat  while  holding  onto  the  steering  wheel,  and  move
the  FNR  lever  out  of  the  FORWARD  position  into  the
REVERSE position. The buzzer sounds and the indicator
N (neutral) blinks on the instrument cluster. The tractor
MUST  stop  (default  to  Neutral).  If  the  tractor  does  not
default to Neutral, see your dealer immediately for repair.

IMPORTANT:  DO  NOT  bypass  the  operator 
presence circuit. Otherwise the situation can 
be risky both for the operator and the people 
near the tractor.
If  the  operator  presence  switch  circuit  is 
bypassed,  the  electronic  system  will  sense 
the change and transmit the error code. The 
exclamation point in the instrument cluster 
will light up. The circuit must be enabled in 
any case.

WARNING: Always use specific personal safety devices 
for each operation.
