ASSEMBLY
NOTE: This Operator’s Manual covers several models. Tractor features may vary by
model. Not all features in this manual are applicable to all tractor models and the
tractor depicted may differ from yours.
NOTE: All references in this manual to the left or right side and front or back of the
tractor are from the operating position only. Exceptions, if any, will be specified.
Preparation
Manually Move the Tractor
1. To engage the
transmission bypass
rods, pull the rod
back (a) and into
lower section of
“J” slot. Repeat on
opposite side. See
Figure 1.
2. After moving tractor,
reverse Step 1 to
disengage the
bypass rods.
Install Hitch
(If Necessary)
1. Locate Hitch (a) and
install on the rear
of the frame using
the two hex washer
screws (b) provided.
See Figure 2.
NOTE: Hitch and hex
washer screws will be
in the hardware pack.
Roll Over Protective
System (ROPS)
Refer to Figure 3 and the
following descriptions and
uses for the three (3) positions
for the Upper ROPS.
• TRANSPORT: Only to be used
when transporting the tractor or
when they need to be momentarily
folded-down to avoid contact with
items such as tree limbs, clothes
lines, guy wires, utility poles,
buildings, etc.
• TRANSPORT WITH BAGGER:
Allows for the ROPS to be lowered
for situations outlined for the
TRANSPORT position when the
tractor is equipped with a bagger.
• OPERATION: The ROPS should
always be in this position when
operating unless the situations
involved outlined in the TRANSPORT
and TRANSPORT WITH BAGGER
descriptions arise.

To change the position of the ROPS:
1. Pull slightly up on the ROPS to relieve
any tension on the locking pin (a)
and rotate the locking pin (a) from
the LOCKED (b) position into the
ADJUSTMENT (c) position. Repeat the
procedure for the locking pin on the
opposite side. See Figure 4.
2. Move the ROPS into the desired
position. See Figure 5.
NOTE: The three positions are TRANSPORT
(a) position, TRANSPORT WITH BAGGER
(b) position and into the OPERATION
(c) position.
3. Rotate both locking pins into the LOCKED
position. Move the upper ROPS slightly
until the locking pins settle, engaged in
the LOCKED position.
NOTE: See properly seated (fully engaged)
ROPS pin in Figure 6.
DANGER
Always verify that both right and left
locking pins of the ROPS are settled and
fully engaged all the way through the
hinge assembly so that each locking pin is
visible on the inside face. Failure to fully
lock each locking pin may result in serious
injury or death.
