Transmission Lockout Levers

The transmission lockout levers disengage the hy- drostatic transmissons. 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 ser- vice). Refer to TRANSMISSION LOCKOUT in this section for operating instructions.

(Jackshaft Drive Belt Release)

The cold start lever is used for starting the machine in cold weather [below 40° F (4° C)]. Pulling the le- ver UP disengages the jackshaft drive belt. When the jackshaft drive belt is released, the hydrostatic transmissions are removed from the engine starter cranking load.
