Transmission oil tank petcock valve

Jents,

I'm new to the Clark C500 world and I have a completely functioning C500-55 propane lift, except that it leaks transmission oil right underneath the tank.

On top of the transmission oil tank there is a petcock valve that has two labeled positions run and off. I can find nowhere in any documentation what this petcock valve does. Anyone have any experience or knowledge of this valve and it's operational and/or use?

Thanks in advance.

In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
