Pull one rod toward the front of the riding mower until the flange
on the rod is forward of the keyhole slot in the frame assembly.

Lower the bypass rod into the keyhole slot and release so the rod
flange is against the front of the frame bracket.

Repeat the above procedure to engage the other bypass rod on
the other side of the riding mower.

With the bypass rods engaged and with the aid of an assistant,
carefully push the riding mower off of the shipping pallet.
