Operating Instructions
Front Body Latch Release
The front portion of the tractor body hinges forward
for maintenance access and is latched down in the
OPERATING position. To raise the body, move the
latch release forward.
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 transmission
will be erratic.
Optional Cold Start Lever
(Jackshaft Drive Belt Release)
The cold start lever is used for starting the machine
in cold weather [below 40° F (4° C)]. Pulling the lever
UP disengages the jackshaft drive belt. When
the jackshaft drive belt is released, the hydrostatic
transmissions are removed from the engine starter
cranking load.

Transmission Lockout Levers
The transmission lockout levers disengage the hydrostatic
transmissons. By lifting the lever on top of
the transmission and locking it into place with the
lockout cam, the hydrostatic transmissions are released
to permit freewheeling. By releasing the cam
and lowering the lever, the transmissions are engaged
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.
