pedal will return to its original position when it's not
pressed.

is also controlled with the reverse drive pedal. The
further downward the pedal is pivoted, the faster the

Transmission Bypass Valves
The transmission bypass valves (one for each the RH and LH
transmission) are located under the tractor on the back of each
transmission inside the rear wheels.
When engaged, the two valves open 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.
