Fuel Shut-Off Valve
The fuel shut-off valve is located on top of the fuel tank. When
turned in a clockwise direction until it stops, it will shut off the flow
of fuel to the engine. When turned in a counterclockwise direction
it will open and allow fuel to flow to the engine. See Figure 1-1.

OPEN
NOTE: Close this valve if you are not going to run the mower for a
period of 30 minutes or more to prevent flooding the engine.

Transmission Bypass Rods (Not Shown)
The transmission bypass rods (one for each the RH and LH
transmission) are located beneath the frame platform, just inside
each rear wheel. See Figure 1-1 on page 9.
When engaged, the two rods open a bypass within the
hydrostatic transmissions, which allows the tractor to be pushed
short distances by hand. Refer to the Maintenance & Adjustments
section for instructions on using the bypass feature.
CAUTION:
Never tow your tractor. Towing the
tractor with the rear wheels on the ground may
cause severe damage to the transmissions.
Transmission Oil Expansion Reservoir (Not Shown)
The transmission oil expansion reservoir is connected by hoses to
the RH and LH transmission assemblies, and is located beneath
the seat box. The function of the reservoir is to hold the natural
expansion of transmission oil that occurs as the transmission
warms up during operation. DO NOT FILL THE RESERVOIR.
Under normal operating conditions, no oil should be added
to the reservoir. The COLD oil level should be no higher than
approximately 1⁄4" (the "Full Cold" mark) above the bottom of the
reservoir. See Figure 1-2.
Cold Oil Full Mark
Figure 1-2
NOTE: Prior to the initial operation of the tractor, the oil level in
the reservoir may be slightly higher than the maximum due to air
in the oil lines. Operation of the tractor will eventually purge the
air from the lines and the oil level will settle to the maximum.
