•
Pul! the lever up out of the "J" slot and to the
right; then lower completely to disengage the
parking brake.

are not fully opened out in the neutral position

engaging

P. MODEL RZT 54 ONLY - Transmission Oil
Expansion Reservoir
The transmission
oil expansion reservoir is con-
nected by hoses to the RH and LH transmission
assemblies, and is located beneath the seat box. The
function of the reservoir is to hold the natural expan-
sion of transmission oil that occurs as the trans-
mission warms up during operation. DO NOT FILL
THE RESERVOIR.
Under normal operating conditions, no oil should be
added to the reservoir. The COLD oil level shoufd be
no higher than approximately 1/4" (the "Full Cold"
mark) above the bottom of the reservoir.
NOTE: Prior to the initia! operation of the tractor, the
oil level in the reservoir may be slightly higher than
the maximum due to air in the oil lines. Operation of
the tractor will eventually purge the air from the fines
and the oil level will settle to the maximum.
