Assembly & Set-Up

Moving the Tractor Manually

If for any reason the tractor will not drive or you wish to move

the tractor, engage the two hydro transmission bypass rods to

manually move the tractor short distances.

NOTE: Never tow or drag the tractor with the rear wheels on

the ground. Even with the bypass rods engaged. Doing so will

damage the transmissions.

To engage a bypass rod, pull the rod rearward so that the

flange on the rod passes through the larger/rounded part of the

keyhole slot. With the flange of the rod outside (rearward) of the

hitch plate, push the rod inward in the small part of the keyhole

slot so that rod’s flange is locked against the back of the hitch

plate. Repeat to engage the other bypass rod to allow the tractor

to be manually moved. See Fig. 3-1.

To disengage, move the rod to align its flange with the larger/

rounded part of the keyhole slot and release the rod back

through the hitch plate.

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 tractor.

Opening the Tractor Hood

To attach the battery cables and check the engine oil level the

hood must be open. Locate the hood lift notch (Refer to Fig. 4-1

on page 11) at the front/center of the dash panel. Grasping the

hood at the notch, lift and pivot the hood forward to open.

Connecting the Battery Cables

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:

Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories

contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known

to the State of California to cause cancer and

reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

CAUTION: When attaching battery cables, always

connect the POSITIVE (Red) wire to its terminal first,

followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire.

For shipping reasons, one or both battery cables on your

equipment may have been left disconnected from the terminals

at the factory. To connect the battery cables, proceed as follows:

NOTE: The positive battery terminal is marked Pos. (+). The

negative battery terminal is marked Neg. (–).

NOTE: If the positive battery cable is already attached, skip

ahead to step 2.

Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the positive 1.

battery terminal and attach the red cable to the positive

battery terminal (+) with the bolt and hex nut. See Fig. 3-2.

Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the negative 2.

battery terminal and attach the black cable to the negative

battery terminal (–) with the bolt and hex nut. See Fig. 3-2.
