NOTE: All references in this manual to the left or right side and front or back of the
tractor are from the operating position only. Exceptions, if any, will be specified.
Tractor Preparation
Manually Moving the Tractor
1.
Engage the transmission bypass rod to move the tractor manually without
starting it. The transmission bypass rod is located on the rear of the tractor,
on the frame. Engage the bypass rod by pulling out. See Figure 1.
NOTE: If the tractor will not move or does not move freely when pushing
check if the bypass lever is fully open or the brake is engaged.
NOTE: The transmission will NOT engage when the hydrostatic bypass rod
is pulled out. Return the rod to its normal position prior to operating the
tractor. If the tractor will not move when pushing on the forward/reverse
pedals, or moves slowly, check to see of the bypass valve is on.
Never tow your tractor. Towing the tractor with the rear wheels on the
ground may cause severe damage to the transmissions.
2.
Disengage the bypass rod by pushing the rod back in after moving the
tractor. See Figure 1.

1.
Cut any straps securing the seat assembly to the tractor. Remove any packing
material.

seat switch.
2.
