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.

front or back of the tractor are from the operating position only.
Exceptions, if any, will be specified.
Tractor Preparation
Manually Moving the Tractor
1. Engage the transmission bypass rods, one on each side of
the tractor, to move the tractor manually without starting it.
The transmission bypass rods are located on the rear of the
tractor, just inside each rear wheel. Engage the bypass rods
by pulling each one out (a) and to the right (b) to lock it into
place. See Figure 3-1.

manual bag and store for future use.
Steering Wheel Column
The steering wheel column is tilted all the way back for shipping
purposes. To tilt the column forward, rotate the steering column
adjustment lever counterclockwise, place the column in the desired
position and then rotate the lever clockwise to secure the column in
place. See Figure 3-2.
NOTE: Be sure that the steering column adjustment lever is tight to
prevent the column from moving when operating the machine.
