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.
Locate the hydrostatic bypass rod in the rear of the riding mower. See Figure
25.
a
2.
Engage the bypass rods by pulling each one out (a) and to the right (b) to
lock it into place. See Figure 25.
3.
Disengage the bypass rods by reversing steps a & b after moving the tractor.
See Figure 25.
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 riding
mower.
Never attempt to move the riding mower manually without first opening
the hydrostatic relief valve. Doing so will result in serious damage to the
riding mower's transmission.

Adjustments
Shut the engine off, remove the ignition key and engage the parking brake
before making adjustments. Protect your hands by using heavy gloves
when handling the blades.
Adjusting RH & LH Drive Control Levers
The RH and LH drive control levers can be adjusted up or down and forward or
backward for the comfort of the operator. The drive control levers can be placed in
either of two height positions, and/or can be moved forward or rearward within the
range of the slot in each lower arm.
To adjust the drive control lever height, proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the upper hex screw and flat washer securing the lever to the pivot
bracket.
2.
While supporting the control lever to keep it from falling, remove the hex
screw and flat washer from the bottom of the control lever and lower arm.
Refer to Figure 26.

3.
Reposition the control lever to align with the other set of holes in the lower
arm and insert the hex screw through the flat washer and into the lower
arm. Tighten the hex screw until snug.
4.
Insert the hex screw through the flat washer and through the control lever
slot and the lower arm. Do not tighten now.
5.
If you are going to adjust the control levers forward or rearward, proceed to
the next step. If not, fully tighten the hex screw.
To adjust the drive control levers forward/rearward, proceed as follows:
1.
If not already loose, loosen the hex screw and rotate the control lever either
forward or rearward to the desired position. See Figure 26.
NOTE: If the control lever is too tight to move, slightly loosen the hex screw
at the bottom of the control lever.
2.
Tighten the hex screw to fix the control lever in the adjusted position
3.
Repeat the above procedure to adjust the other control lever into the same
position. Adjust so that both levers are even with each other when in the
neutral position.
