B. TRANSMISSION BYPASS LEVER
Do not tow the mower, even with the bypass valves engaged.
Serious transmission damage will result from doing so.
1. Parker Transmission (if equipped) - The transmission bypass
lever is located next to the LH console to the left of the operator's
seat. When engaged the valves open a bypass within the hydrostatic
transmissions. Refer to the Set-Up section for instructions on using
the bypass feature.
2. Hydro-Gear Transmission (if equipped) - The transmission
bypass rods (one for each RH and LH transmission) are located on
the rear of the mower, below the engine. When
engaged, the two rods open a bypass within
the hydrostatic transmissions, which allows the
mower to be pushed short distances by hand.
Refer to the Set-Up section for additional instructions.
