Tractor Preparation
Remove the upper crating material from the shipping pallet, and
cut any bands or tie straps securing the tractor to the pallet.
Use the lift handle to raise the deck to its highest position.
Engage the transmission bypass rods on each side of the
tractor; then carefully roll the tractor off the shipping pallet.
The transmission bypass rods (one for each the RH and LH
transmission) are located beneath the frame platform, just inside
each rear wheel. Disengage the bypass rods. See Fig. 3-1.
