Deck Lift Release Lever The deck lift release lever is located on the left side of the operator's seat and is used to lock the deck in the transport position. Press down on the deck lift pedal and lift up on the deck lift release lever to release the deck. Transmission Oil Expansion Reservoir (Not Shown) The transmission oil expansion reservoir is connected by hoses to the RH and LH transmission assemblies, and is located under the seat. The function of the reservoir is to hold the natural expansion of transmission oil that occurs as the transmission 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 should be no higher than approximately 1⁄4" above the bottom of the reservoir. NOTE: Prior to the initial 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 lines and the oil level will settle to the maximum.
