 MZ Models are equipped with two neutral engage/disengage arms, located at the rear of 

the mower protruding from the frame and under the muffler. By pulling the arms out, the 
mower can be put in a neutral position. Return the arms to the “forward position” for normal 
operation.

 As you can see by the weights of the machines, you shouldn’t ever try to push or pull a Bad
