TRANSAXLE LOCKOUTS
IMPORTANT: DO NOT TOW
this mower faster than
2 mph (3.2 km/h) with the transmission lockout en-
gaged. 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
should be unlocked (released).
1. Raise the body.
2.
Pull up the transaxle lockout rods on both the RH
and LH transaxles and secure into place by
shouldering both rods in the chassis notch area.
3. The mower will “freewheel” with the rods in the
LOCKOUT
position. The levers must be in the
highest position to completely unlock the trans-
missions.
