09-367 4 - 6 rev 12/98
section 4 OPERATION
HIGH - LOW RANGE SELECTION
Do not attempt to select ranges on
slopes or when the unit is traveling.
Select ranges only on level surfaces.
A locking device has been installed on the gear
range selector levers. The units are shipped with the
transaxle gear range selector in HIGH (2) range.
This range selection is recommended for most of
the operating tasks. If slower speeds and more
responsive F-R control is needed, use LOW (1)
range selection.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRANSAXLE
RANGE SELECTION
1. Stop the unit on a level surface and set PARKING
BRAKE.
2. Stop the engine and dismount.
3. Remove the 1/4 x 3/4 flange bolt from the lever lock
strap and swing it away from the lever, revealing a
slot. (See Shift Position drawing.)
4. Shift the range selector lever, observing the2-N-1
decal for range selection. A slight rocking motion
of the unit may be needed to fully engage the
selector.
5. With the selection completed, replace the lock
strap and tighten the 1/4 x 3/4 flange bolt to 12 - 15
ft. lbs. torque. (See Locked Position drawing.)
6. Repeat step 3, 4, and 5 for the other transaxle.
Be sure to shift both transaxles into the
same range or serious mechanical
damage will result!
DO NOT OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT THE
LEVER LOCK STRAPS IN THE
LOCKED POSITION!
EMERGENCY TOWING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR A STALLED UNIT
1. Both transaxles must be in neutral before moving a
stalled unit. Neutral position is between HIGH (2)
and LOW (1) range position.
2. Release the locking straps on both transaxles to
shift into "Neutral".
Failure to shift transaxles into "Neutral" will
cause serious damage to the hydrostatic
system.
3. Remember to lock the lever lock strap after towing.
