CONTROLS

Hydro Release Levers

The levers are located on each side of the rear of
the unit below the rear engine plate. The bypass
linkage is used when manual pushing or pulling
the unit.
See Moving Machine By Hand in the Operation
section.
WARNING! Bypass linkages are located
close to the muffler. To prevent burns, the
engine should be shut off and allowed to cool
before the bypass linkage levels are handled.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Experience
indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas
can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. To avoid engine problems,
the fuel system should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas
tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
the next season. See Storage for additional
information. Do not use engine or carburetor
cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent damage
may occur.
WARNING! Gasoline is highly flammable.
Observe caution and fill the tank outdoors (see
the safety section).
