Moving TheTractorManually

Your tractor's transmission is equipped with a hydrostatic relief valve for occasions when it is necessary to move the tractor manually. Opening this valve permits the fluid in the transmission to bypass its normal route, allowing the rear tires to "freewheel." To open the hydrostatic relief valve, proceed as follows:

1.Locate the hydrostatic bypass rod in the rear of the tractor. See Fig. 3-1.

2.Pull the hydrostatic bypass rod outward, then up, to lock it in place.

NOTE:The transmission will NOTengage when the hydrostatic bypass rod is pulled out. Return the rod to its normal position prior to operating the tractor.

CAUTION: Never attempt to move the tractor manually without first opening the hydrostatic relief

valve. Doing so will result in serious damage to the tractor's transmission.

2.While holding the discharge chute with your left hand, remove the shipping brace with your right hand by grasping it between your thumb and index finger and rotating it clockwise.
