Transmission Lockout Levers
The transmission lockout levers disengage the hy-
drostatic transmissions. 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
service). Refer to
TRANSMISSION LOCKOUT
in
this section for operating instructions.
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.

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.
