SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE
The Wheel Drive Clutch
and/or Brake lever will
freeze up during cold
weather operation.
⇒ Moisture is getting into the Cable housing(s) and freezing. Using a lubricating syringe, inject
“dry gas” into the Cable-Housing opening to absorb the moisture. Tip the machine forward
slightly so the “dry gas” will flow down the inside of the Housing. After the ice blockage has
thawed, lubricate the cable(s) with SAE 30 oil. See page 17.
The Differential Lock
In/Out will not unlock
(stays in the Lock In
position).
⇒ Grass and debris has probably accumulated on the Differential Lock In/Out Sleeve. Clean
and lubricate the Sleeve. See page 17.
⇒ The Differential Lock In/Out Cable is broken or out of adjustment. See page 22.
