Low Gas Window
The low gas window is located at the rear of
the tractor. If the gas level is visible in this
window, the tank should be re-filled.
Differential Lock Engagement Handle &
Indicator Light (If so equipped)
The differential lock engagement handle is located
on the left fender. The indicator light is located
above the throttle and choke controls on the left
of the dash and illuminates when the differential
lock is activated. Activating the differential lock
increases traction by maintaining equal wheel speed
on the rear tires. See the Operation section for more
information on using the differential lock.
Transmission Bypass Rod
The transmission bypass rod is located at the rear of the tractor
on the lower right section of the frame.
When engaged, the rod opens a bypass within the hydrostatic
transmissions, which allows the tractor to be pushed short
distances by hand. Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section for
instructions on using the bypass feature.
NOTE: If the tractor will not move or does not move freely
when pushing check if the bypass lever is fully open.
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.
Hydrostatic Transmission Oil Plug/Dipstick
The hydrostatic transmission oil plug/dipstick is located on the
back of the tractor frame and is used to check the level of the
hydrostatic transmission oil. The oil fill port is where hydrostatic
transmission oil can be added.
