TRANSMiSSiON
,_CAUTION:
Never engage or dis-
engage freewheel
lever while the engine
is running.
To ensure proper operation and per-
formance,
it is recommended
that the
transmission
be purged before operating
tractor for the first time. This procedure will
remove any trapped air inside the trans-
mission which may have developed
during
shipping of your tractor.
IMPORTANT:
Should your transmission
require removal for service or replace-
ment, it should be purged after reinstall-
ation before operating the tractor.
1. Place tractor safely on a level surface
- that is clear of objects and open - with
engine off and parking brake set.
2. Disengage transmission
by placing
freewheel
control in disengaged
posi-
tion (See "TO TRANSPORT"
in this
section of manual).
3. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine.
After the engine is running, move
throttle control to slow position. With
motion control lever in neutral position,
_i_lowly
disengage
clutch/brake
pedal.
AUTION:
At any time, during step
4, there may be movement
of the drive
wheels.
4. Move motion control lever to full
forward position and hold for five (5)
seconds.
Move lever to full reverse
position and hold for five (5) seconds.
Repeat this procedure three (3) times.
5. Move motion control lever to neutral
position. Shutoff engine and set park-
ing brake.
6. Engage transmission
by placing free-
wheel control in engaged position (See
"TO TRANSPORT"
in this section of
manual).
7. Sitting in the tractor
seat, start engine.
After the engine is running, move
throttle control to half (1/2) speed. With
motion control lever in neutral position,
slowly disengage
clutch/brake
pedal.
8. Slowly move motion control lever for-
ward, after the tractor moves approxi-
mately five (5) feet, slowly move mo-
tion control lever to reverse position.
After the tractor moves approximately
five (5) feet return the motion control
lever to the neutral position. Repeat
this procedure with the motion control
lever three (3) times.
Your transmission
is now purged and now
ready for normal operation.
MOWING TiPS
• Tire chains cannot be used when the
mower housing is attached to tractor.
• Mower should be properly leveled for
best mowing performance.
See "TO
LEVEL MOWER HOUSING"
in the
Service and Adjustments
section of this
manual.
• The left hand side of mower should be
used for trimming.
• Drive so that clippings are discharged
onto the area that has already been
cut. Have the cut area to the right of
the tractor.
This will result in a more
even distribution
of clippings and more
uniform cutting.
• When mowing large areas, start by
turning to the right so that clippings will
discharge
away from shrubs, fences,
driveways,
etc. After one or two rounds,
mow in the opposite direction making
left hand turns until finished.
f
(
• If grass is extremely tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce load and pos-
sible fire hazard from dried clippings.
Make first cut relatively high; the second
to the desired height.
• Do not mow grass when it is wet.
Wet grass will plug mower and leave
undesirable
clumps.
Allow grass to dry
before mowing.
• Always
operate
engine
at full throttle
when mowing
to assure better mowing
performance
and proper discharge
of
material.
Regulate ground speed by
selecting a low enough speed to give
the mower cutting performance
as well
as the quality of cut desired.
• When operating attachments,
select a
ground speed that will suit the terrain
and give best performance
of the at-
tachment
being used.
