Tractors with PowrQuad transmission and electrical reverser

1. Move range shift lever (A) and reverser lever (B) to neutral.
2. Start the engine and wait 6-7 seconds.
3. Move the reverser lever to "forward" or "reverse", and release it there.

If the reverser lever remains in the selected position without being held there manually, the neutral start circuit is operating correctly.

If the reverser 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.
