Manually Moving the Riding Mower
On 6-Speed units, shift the shift lever into NEUTRAL. On Hydro
units, use the transmission bypass rod and proceed with Step 1.
1. Engage the transmission bypass rod to move the riding
mower manually without starting it. The transmission bypass
rod is located on the inside of the right tire near the rear of
the riding mower. Engage the bypass rod by pulling out and
down. See Figure 1.
NOTE: If the riding mower will not move or does not move freely
when pushing check if the bypass lever 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 normal position
prior to operating the riding mower. If the riding mower will not
move when pushing on the forward/reverse pedals or moves
slowly, check to see if the bypass valve is on.
Figure 1
CAUTION
Never tow your riding mower. Towing the riding mower
with the rear wheels on the ground may cause severe
damage to the transmission.
2. Disengage the bypass rod by lifting up and allowing the rod
to move back in after moving the riding mower. See Figure 1.
