Tractor Preparation

1. Remove the upper crating material from the shipping pallet,
and cut any bands or tie straps securing the tractor to the
pallet.
2. If the deck is not in the highest mowing position (pulled all
the way back), use the deck lift handle to raise the deck to its
highest position. Refer to the Controls & Features section for
instructions on raising and lowering the deck.
3. Disengage the parking brake.
4. Engage the transmission bypass rods on each side of the
tractor; then carefully roll the tractor off the shipping pallet.
The transmission bypass rods (one for each the RH and LH
transmission) are located on the rear of the tractor, just
inside each rear wheel. Engage the bypass rods by pulling
each one out and to the right then letting it return to lock it
into place. See Figure 3-1.
