Transaxle Lockout Rods
The transaxle lockout rods disengage the transax les.
By
lifting
the rods up and locking them into place with
the shoulder on the rod in the chassis notch, the trans-
axles are released to permit freewheeling. By releas-
ing the rods and
recessing
them back toward the
chassis, the transaxles are engaged for normal op-
eration. The transaxle rods in the
LOCKOUT
position
are used to enable moving the machine without the
engine running (e.g., for service). Refer to
TRANS-
AXLE LOCKOUTS
in this section for operating in-
structions.
NOTE:
The transaxle lockout rods ends should be
completely retracted against the chassis, otherwise
operation of the transaxle may be erratic.

Hourmeter
The hourmeter, which is located on the right front of
the body, displays
operating time
accumulated while
the ignition switch is in the
ON
position.
The hourmeter provides maintenance reminders after
certain hours of operation. The hourmeter screen will
start flashing the reminder one hour prior to the recom-
mended interval and will continue until one hour after
the recommended interval (two hours). The hourme-
ter
does not have a manual reset function.

* These intervals reflect the actual time that the
reminder will flash (one hour prior to and one hour
after the recommended interval).
** This reminder is only used one time.
*** In normal operating conditions, oil changes in
100-hour intervals are acceptable. Walker and
the engine manufacturers recommend engine oil
changes every 50 hours in extremely dirty or
dusty conditions or for units with less than 100
hours annual use.
NOTE:
The blinking hour glass on the display means
that the meter is operating properly.
