Using the
Drive-Wheel-Release
Valves
WARNING
Hands may become entangled in the rotating
drive components below the engine deck,
which could result in serious injury.
Shut off 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 that the release valves are in the
fully horizontal position when operating the machine;
otherwise, severe damage to the hydraulic system
can occur.

the ignition key to the O

Transporting the Machine

Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all
the necessary brakes, lighting, and marking as
required by law. Please carefully read all the safety
instructions. Knowing this information could help you,
your family, pets, or bystanders avoid injury.
•
Be sure that the fuel valve is closed on the tank(s).
•
Place spare LPG tank(s) in a DOT approved
storage cage.
– Transport the tanks in an upright, vertical, and
secure position to minimize movement, tipping,
or physical damage relative to other tanks or to
the storage cage while in transit.
– Place tanks so that valves, fittings, or gauges
are protected from physical damage during
transport.
•
Place tank(s) in a well-ventilated trailer.
•
Do not store the tank(s) or machine with tank(s)
in an area where the temperature can rise
above 49°C (120°F). If the temperature exceeds
approximately 71°C (160°F), the tank will release
highly flammable propane vapor. See Preparation
in the Safety Section.
•
Do not transport LPG tank(s) in the passenger
space of a vehicle.
•
Do not transport leaking fuel tanks.
