NOTE: If the engine and attachment stop while repositioning the machine, return PTO knob to the OFF position and restart the machine. (See Starting The Engine in this section.) Begin again with Step 2.

4.As the machine begins to move backward, release the PTO knob and reposition the machine.

5.Resume FORWARD travel. The attachment should continue operating.
