do they really mean, "when the rear wheels start to turn"??
That's my reading of it.
Have you ever seen an owner's manual or repair manual that had no stupid mistakes like this in it? I haven't. Seems like most of them are written by people who have limited familiarity with the equipment at hand.
There's a beauty in the owner's manual for my Husqvarna lawn tr@ctor -- under the heading of "TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS" it says, "Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your tractor." (I added the bold and italics)
Um, okay. Wouldn't that be YOU, Husqvarna? If not, then who? And if it is you who (allegedly) know how to operate your equipment, then what do you recommend and what are those "specifications" you're referring to? Wouldn't THE OWNER'S MANUAL be a really great place to put that information?
If I were the conspiracy type, I'd immediately suspect that this lack of information is deliberate so they have a ready-made excuse for denying warranty claims for transaxle failures. But application of Occam's Razor suggests that the real reason is that whoever wrote this is an incompetent idiot.
