the rear of the frame, below the rear engine guard.

position.
2. Engage the parking brake.
3. Pull the bypass linkages up and out of the
keyhole slots. Release the levers with the
head outside the frame and held in the bypass
position.
4. To reengage the linkages to drive, reverse the
above procedure.
Load the machine into truck or trailer by driving slowly
up the ramps. DO NOT LIFT! The machine is not
intended to be lifted by hand.
WARNING!
Use extreme caution when loading the
machine into a truck or trailer using
ramps. There is the possibility of
serious injury or death if the machine
falls off the ramps.
WARNING!
Make no adjustments without:
• the engine stopped,
• the ignition key removed,
• the parking brake activated
WARNING!
Bypass linkages are located close
to the muffler. To prevent burns, the
engine should be shut off and allowed
to cool before the bypass linkage
levers are handled.
