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.

Front Body Latch Release

Transmission Lockout Levers

The transmission lockout levers disengage the hy-
drostatic transmissons. 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 ser-
vice). Refer to TRANSMISSION LOCKOUT in this
section for operating instructions.

Lockout Lever Location

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.

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 le-
ver UP disengages the jackshaft drive belt. When
the jackshaft drive belt is released, the hydrostatic
transmissions are removed from the engine starter
cranking load.
