Using the Transmission Bypass Rods
If for any reason the riding mower will not drive or you wish to move the riding
mower, the two hydrostatic transmissions are equipped with a bypass rod that will
allow you to manually move the riding mower short distances.
Do not tow the riding mower, even with the bypass rod engaged. Serious
transmission damage will result from doing so.
1.
From just in front of the two rear tires, locate the transmission bypass rods.
Refer to Figure 34.
RH Transmission Bypass Rod
2.
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.
3.
Lower the bypass rod into the keyhole slot and release so the rod flange is
against the front of the frame bracket.
4.
Repeat the above procedure to engage the other bypass rod on the other
side of the riding mower.
5.
After moving the riding mower, disengage both bypass rods. Lift the rod and
guide the flange of the rod back through the larger circular opening of the
keyhole, then release the rod.
NOTE: The riding mower will not drive with the bypass rods in the engage
position.
