Transmission Lockout Levers
The transmission lockout levers disengage the hy-
drostatic transmissions. By lifting the lever on top
of the transmission and locking it into place with the
lockout cam, the hydrostatic transmissions are re-
leased to permit freewheeling. By releasing the cam
and lowering the lever, the transmissions are en-
gaged for normal operation. The transmission lever
in the LOCKOUT position is used to enable moving
the machine without the engine running (e.g., for
service). Refer to TRANSMISSION LOCKOUT in
this section for operating instructions.

NOTE: The transmission plunger on the side of the
transmission case (activated by the LOCKOUT LE-
VER) must be completely released during operation
of the mower, otherwise operation of the transmis-
sion will be erratic.
Engine Service Light
The engine service light indicates that the engine
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) has detected a fault in
the engine performance. When this light illuminates
during operation, contact an authorized Kohler Ser-
vice dealer to diagnose the fault.
IMPORTANT:
Continued operation of the engine
with an illuminated engine service light will result in
sub-standard performance and MAY cause engine
damage if not corrected as soon as possible.
