3. Check Dual Handle Interlock

Without the engine running, press down (engage) both

clutch levers. Release attachment clutch lever.

Attachment clutch should remain engaged until traction

clutch lever is released, then both clutches must

disengage.

If clutches do not engage or disengage properly, adjust

adjust or repair before operation (see REMOTE

WHEEL LOCK (926002, 003) on page 23).

6. Check Axle Lock (926001)

Use the axle lock pins to lock or unlock the wheels.

Lock both wheels to increase traction; unlock one

wheel to allow for easier turning of the unit.

Check and add fuel if required. Check that the engine

crankcase oil is full using dipstick. Refer to Engine
