Valves
WARNING
Hands may become entangled in the rotating drive
components below the engine deck, which could
result in serious injury.
Stop the engine, remove the key, and allow all
moving parts to stop before accessing the drive
wheel release valves.
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
