The engine and hydraulic-drive units can
become very hot. T ouching a hot engine or
hydraulic-drive units can cause severe burns.
Allow the engine and hydraulic-drive units
to cool completely before accessing the
drive-wheel-release valves.
The drive-wheel-release valves are located in the
back of each hydraulic-drive unit, under the seat.
Note: Make sure that the release valves are in the
fully horizontal position when operating the machine;
otherwise, severe damage to the hydraulic system
can occur .
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade-control switch, and engage the parking
brake.
2. Shut of f the engine, remove the key , and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
