TRANSMISSION
CAUTION:
Never engage or disengage

lever while the engine is running.
To ensure proper operation and performance,
it is recommended

be
purged before operating tractor for the first
time. This procedure will remove any trapped
air inside the transmission
which may have
developed
during shipping of your tractor.
IMPORTANT:
Should
your transmission
require removal for service or replacement,
it should be purged after reinstallation
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.

transmission
by placing
freewheel control in disengaged
position
(See "TO TRANSPORT"
in this section
of manual).

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 byturning
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.

• If grass
is extremely
tall,
it should
be
mowed
twice
to reduce
load and possible
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
undesir-
able clumps.
Allow
grass
to dry before
mowing.
• Always
operate
engine
at full
throttle
when
mowing
to
assure
better
mow-
ing
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 attachment
being
used.
