OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

TO FREE WHEEL MACHINE (TOWING):

Always turn off engine before engaging or disengaging the hydro release (free wheel) valves. Never attempt to move the valves with the engine running.

The transmission release valves are located beneath the seat on the right side of the hydro pump on each side of the machine. To unlock the transmission, lift the seat (see instructions on Page 25), rotate the transmission hex valve located on the top of each transmission approximately one turn counter-clock- wise.

To re-engage the transmission, rotate each transmis- sion hex valve clockwise to the end of its travel. Re- turn the seat to the operating position.

Note: Before pushing or towing the tractor, the trans- mission must be unlocked and the parking brake released. The tractor should never be pulled more than two miles per hour or for any appre- ciable distance.
