(16) BY-PASS LEVER – FREE MOVEMENT OF THE REAR WHEELS
The bypass lever serves to disengage the transmission for the rear wheel drive and is used to push or
pull the mower without using the engine. The lever is located on the rear side of the mower and has the
following two positions:
Position Rear wheel drive Use
(0) DISENGAGED
Lever is extended - for pushing the
mower
(1) ENGAGED
Lever is inserted - for driving the
mower
ATTENTION! On the 92 EVO 4x4 mower the lever is used primarily for bleeding the
hydrostatic system. Due to the high demands on equipment, have this procedure performed
by a specialised service centre.
The mower must not be used (gear shifted into drive) if the by-pass lever is in the disengaged
position - there is a danger of damage to the transmissions!
