1. Move range shift lever (A) and reverse drive lever (B) to neutral.

2. Start the engine and wait 6-7 seconds.

3. Move the reverse drive lever to "forward" or "reverse", and release it there.

If the reverse drive lever remains in the selected position without being held there manually, the neutral start circuit is operating correctly. If the reverse drive lever moves INSTANTLY by itself from "forward" or "reverse" to neutral without being moved by hand, then the neutral start circuit must be repaired by your John Deere dealer without delay.
