FREE-WHEELING VALVE (Hydrx>static Models) —
Figure 5
The free-wheeling valve is provided so the
tractor can be pushed short distances with the engine
stopped.
The cam arm, see Figure 5, must be in the forward
position as shown at all times except when it becomes
necessary to push the tractor.
If it becomes necessary to move the tractor with
the engine stopped, rotate the cam arm rearward so
the valve actuating rod is pushed down into the
transmission body. After moving the tractor the cam
arm must be returned to the operating position before
the tractor will move with the engine running.
