Release Valves
WARNING
Hands may become entangled in the rotating
drive components below the engine deck,
which could result in serious injury.
Stop the engine, remove the key, and allow
all moving parts to stop before accessing the
drive wheel release valves.
WARNING
The engine and hydraulic drive units can
become very hot. Touching 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
