PURGE
TRANSMISSION
,_CAUTION:
Never engage or disengage
freewheel
lever while the engine is running.
To ensure proper operation and performance,
it is recommended
that the transmission
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 replace-
ment, it should be purged after reinstalla-
tion 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. Disen-
_gage
parking brake.
AUTION: At any time, during step
4, there may be movement of the drive wheels.
4. Depress forward drive pedal to full
forward position and hold for five (5)
seconds and release pedal. Depress
reverse drive pedal to full reverse posi-
tion and hold for five (5) seconds and
release pedal. Repeat this procedure
three (3) times.

five feet then backwards
for five feet.
Repeat this driving procedure three times.
Your transmission

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.

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.
