ASSEMBLY

NOTE: All references in this manual to the left or right side and 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 rod to move the tractor manually without

starting it. The transmission bypass rod is located on the rear of the tractor,

on the frame. Engage the bypass rod by pulling out. See Figure 1.

Figure 1

NOTE: If the tractor 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

tractor. If the tractor will not move when pushing on the forward/reverse

pedals, or moves slowly, check to see of the bypass valve is on.

CAUTION

Never tow your tractor. Towing the tractor with the rear wheels on the

ground may cause severe damage to the transmissions.

2. Disengage the bypass rod by pushing the rod back in after moving the

tractor. See Figure 1.

Install Operator’s Seat (If necessary)

To install the seat proceed as follows:

NOTE: The seat is shipped with the seat switch and seat pan attached.

1. Cut any straps securing the seat assembly to the tractor. Remove any packing

material.

NOTE: Be careful not to cut the wiring harness connecting the seat and the

seat switch.

2. Remove the two shoulder screws and flange lock nuts in the seat pan as

shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2

NOTE: Be sure that the nylon flange bearings (if equipped) remain in place

on the seat bracket mounting holes. If they come out during the removal of

the shoulders screws and flange lock nuts make sure to replace them before

installing the seat.
