TRANSAXLE LOCKOUT
IMPORTANT: DO NOT TOW
this mower faster
than 2 mph (3.2 km/h) with the transaxle lockout
engaged. Towing can produce excessive internal
pressure and damage the transaxle(s).
To move the mower with the engine
NOT
running
(dead battery, maintenance, etc.), the transaxles
need to be unlocked (released).
1. Raise the seat panel.
2. Pull up on each transaxle lockout arm and
move toward the center of the machine to
engage the step that holds the arm in the UP
(unlocked) position.
3. The mower will “freewheel” with the arms in
the
LOCKOUT
position. The levers must be in
the highest position to completely unlock the
transaxles.

4. After moving the mower, release the arms,
placing them down in the normal
OPERATING
position. The transaxle lockout arm ends
should be completely retracted against the
chassis, otherwise operation of the transaxle
may be erratic.
