Operation
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.
Located on the back of the unitized hydraulic drive
units, below the engine deck.
During normal operating conditions, the drive wheel
release valves are positioned horizontally. If the
machine has to be pushed by hand, the valves must
be in the "released" position (see Figure 13).
Figure 13
Cooling Fan Configuration Shown
1. Handle in "released" position
2. Handle in "operating" position
To release the drive system (see item 1 in Figure 13),
rotate the handle 1/4 turn to the vertical position
until it hits against the stop.
To reset the drive system (see item 2 in Figure 13),
rotate the handle 1/4 turn to the horizontal position
until it hits against the stop.
Note: The handle must be horizontal and against
the stop for operation.
Do Not tow machine.
PTO Engagement Switch (All Models
Except LZS and LZX EFI Models)
Located on right console (see Figure 6 and Figure 7).
Switch must be pulled out (up) to engage the blades.
Switch is pushed in to disengage the blades.
The LCD indicator will appear when the PTO
switch is disengaged (see Figure 11 and Figure 12).
Refer to the Hour Meter User's Guide for more
information.
PTO Engagement Switch (LZS and
LZX EFI Models)
Located below the RED Equipped LDU on the RH
console (see Figure 8).
Switch must be "ON" (pulled up) to engage the
blades. Switch is "OFF" (pushed down) to disengage
the blades.
The LCD indicator will appear on the information
screen of the RED Equipped LDU when the PTO
switch is disengaged.
Note: The RED Equipped Models have a clutch
saver, which allows the throttle to automatically
reduce engine RPM when the PTO switch is
disengaged. Engaging and disengaging the PTO
switch, changes the engine throttle between mow and
transport mode.
Note: The starter will crank with the PTO switch in
the "ON" (pulled up) position; however, the system
will disengage the PTO and a PTO reset error will
g008609
occur. Engaging the PTO will require the operator to
reset the PTO switch by turning it "OFF" (pushed
down) and then turning it "ON".
Important: On Wing Deck Model: The wings
must be unfolded before the PTO can be
engaged.
Low Voltage Indicator
(For all LZE Models, all LZS/LZX
Kawasaki Models, and all Briggs
Models Except RED Equipped
Models)
Located on the right console in the message display
(seeFigure 6 and Figure 11).
A low voltage condition (less than 12.3 volts) exists
when the LCD indicator appears on the message
display while the engine is running.
If the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position for
a few seconds before cranking the engine, the battery
voltage will display in the area where the hours are
normally displayed.
