Transmission Release Levers:
Icon
Each transmission is equipped with a transmission release
lever. These levers deactivate the transmissions so that the
unit can be pushed by hand. Both transmission release levers
must be in the same position whether you are driving the
unit or pushing it by hand. See Pushing the Unit by Hand for
operational information and control location.
Transmission Oil Fill: Transmission oil is added through the
hydraulic oil tanks. It also serves as extra holding capacity
for oil as the transmissions heat up and the hydraulic oil
expands. See Check / Fill Transmission Oil for oil level check
and fill procedures.
