Note:
This Operator’s Manual covers several models. Tractor features may vary by
model. Not all features in this manual are applicable to all tractor models and the
tractor depicted may differ from yours.
Note:
All references in this manual to the left or right side and front or back of the
tractor are from the operating position only. Exceptions, if any, will be specified.
Preparation
Manually Moving the Tractor
1.
Engage the transmission
bypass rod to move the tractor
manually without starting it.
The transmission bypass rod
is located on the rear of the
tractor, on the frame. Engage
the bypass rod by pulling out.
See Figure 1.
NOTE:
If the tractor will not
move or does not move freely
when pushing check if the
hydrostatic bypass rod is fully
open or the brake is engaged.
NOTE:
The transmission will
NOT engage when the hydrostatic bypass rod is pulled out. Return the rod to
its disengaged position prior to operating the tractor.
2.
Disengage the transmission bypass rod by pushing the rod back in after
moving the tractor. See Figure 1.
Install Operator’s Seat (If necessary)
To install the seat proceed as follows:
NOTE:
The seat is shipped with the seat switch and seat pan attached.

NOTE:
Be careful not to cut the
wiring harness connecting the
seat and the seat switch.
2.

bolts (a) and flange lock nuts
(b) in the seat pan as shown in
Figure 2.
3.
Rotate the seat into position
and slide a Phillips screwdriver
through one of the seat-

4.
With the previously removed
shoulder bolts (a) and flange
lock nuts (b) secure one side
of the seat and seat bracket.
While supporting the seat,
