transporting of the unit with the engine off.
Models with Traction Lock Knob: Wheels equipped with a
traction lock knob (A, Figure 6) can be completely released
by pulling the knob out away from the wheel until the locking
pin is disengaged from the wheel. Then rotate the knob so
the pin does not re-engage the wheel. Reverse this process
to engage the drive wheel.

Wheel Release - Lock Pins (if equipped)
Wheels equipped with a traction lock pin (A, Figure 7) can be
completely released by removing the pin and installing it in
the outer axle hole. Reverse this process to engage the drive
wheel.
