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.
