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 transaxles are released to permit free-
wheeling. By releasing the rods and
recessing
them back toward the chassis, the transaxles are
engaged for normal operation. The transaxle rods in
the
LOCKOUT
position are used to enable moving
the machine without the engine running (e.g., for
service). Refer to
TRANSAXLE LOCKOUTS
in this
section for operating instructions.
NOTE:
The transaxle lockout rods ends should be
completely retracted against the chassis, otherwise
operation of the transaxle may be erratic.

hour after the recommended interval (two hours).
The hourmeter
does not have a manual reset
function.

* These intervals reflect the actual time that the
reminder will flash (one hour prior to and one

**
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.
