NEUTRAL BYPASS LEVER
The neutral bypass levers disengage the drive system
that connects the engine power to the wheels and may
be used when you need to manually push or move the
mower without the engine running.
•
Locate the neutral bypass levers situated
underneath the rear of the mower's frame. These
levers individually manage the drive wheels.
•
Push the lever outwards to unlock the levers to
release the drive brakes.
•
Push the lever inward to lock the levers for regular
operation.
WARNING
Never drive mower with the neutral bypass lever
disengaged. Always engage the neutral bypass lever
to the original position before driving! Failure to
engage the lever could cause serious damage to your
mower and void mower warranty!
English
Never unlock the neutral bypass levers when the
mower is on a slope. Once the levers are released,
the mower can roll freely and does not have a brake.
Releasing the lever on a slope could lead to loss of
control and increase the risk of serious personal injury.
