WARNING
The engine and hydraulic drive units can become
very hot. Touching a hot engine or hydraulic drive
units can cause severe burns.
Allow the engine and hydraulic drive units to cool
completely before accessing the drive wheel release
valves.
The drive-wheel release valves are located in the back of each
hydraulic drive unit, under the seat.
Note: Make sure the release valves are in the fully horizontal
position when operating the machine or severe damage to the
hydraulic system can occur.
1. Disengage the PTO (blade-control switch) and turn the
ignition key to off. Move the levers to neutral-locked
position and apply parking brake. Remove the key.
2. Rotate the release valve levers vertically to push the
machine. This allows hydraulic oil to by-pass the pump
enabling the wheels to turn
3. Disengage parking brake before pushing.
