(Ec ono -H or se and P ony Models only)
This lever is located on the left-hand side of
the handlebar control panel. It has two positions:
ENGAGE and DISENGAGE (FREE WHEEL).
The ENGAGE position allows power from the
engine to turn the wheels and tines whenever:
a. The Forward Clutch is engaged. OR
b. The Maneuvering Clutch is engaged in either
forward or reverse.
The DISENG AGE (FREE WHEEL) position
should only be used when the engine is not run-
ning. Use the DISENGAGE (FREE WHEEL) po-
sition ONLY when you are rolling the tiller to an-
other location.

.A DANGER
NEVER place the Wheel Gear Lever in DIS-
ENGAGE (FREE WHEEL) when the engine
is running.
Having the Wheel Gear Lever in DISEN-
GAGE (FREE WHEEL) and then engaging
the tines/wheels with either the Forward
Clutch or the Maneuvering Clutch could
allow the tines to propel the tiller rapidly for-
ward or backward.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury or property damage.
