Always turn off engine before engaging or disengaging the hydro

release (free wheel) valves. Never attempt to move the valves with

the engine running.

The hydro release valves are located beneath the seat on the top of

the hydro pumps on each side of the machine. To unlock the

transmission, lift the seat (see Page 25), rotate the transmission

hex valve located on the top of each transmission approximately one

turn counter-clockwise.

To re-engage the transmission, rotate each transmission hex valve

clockwise to the end of its travel. Return the seat to the operating

position.

Before pushing or towing the tractor, the transmission

must be unlocked and the parking brake released. The

tractor should never be pulled more than two miles per

hour or for any appreciable distance.
