OPERATION AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP f • Before driving the unit in cold weather , the transmission should be warmed up as follows : • Be sure the tractor is on level ground . • Place the motion control lever in neutral . I Release the parking brake and let the clutch / brake slowly return to operating position . • Allow one minute for transmission to warm up . This can be done during the engine warm up period . , # • The attachments can be used during the engine warm - 00272 up period after the transmission has been warmed FIG . 12 up and may require the choke control be pulled out slightly . • If grass is extremely tall , it should be mowed twice to NOTE : If at a high altitude ( above 3000 feet ) or in cold reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip - temperatures ( below 32 F ) the carburetor fuel mixture may pings . Make first cut relatively high ; the second to the need to be adjusted for best engine performance . See " TO desired height . ADJUST CARBURETOR " in the Service and Adjustments • Do not mow grass when it is wet . Wet grass will plug section of this manual . mower and leave undesirable clumps . Allow grass to dry before mowing . PURGE TRANSMISSION • Always operate engine at full throttle when mow - ing to assure better mowing performance and proper To ensure proper operation and performance , it is recom - discharge of material . Regulate ground speed by se - mended that the transmission be purged before operating tractor for the first time . This procedure will remove any lecting a low enough gear to give the mower cutting trapped air inside the transmission which may have de - performance as well as the quality of cut desired . veloped during shipping of your tractor . • When operating attachments , select a ground speed that will suit the terrain and give best performance of IMPORTANT : SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION LREQUIREDNG REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT , IT SHOUTI the attachment being used . BEPURGED AFTER REINSTALLATIONBEFOREOPERA THE TRACTOR . • Place tractor safely in an area that is flat for approxi - mately 80 feet in front of the tractor and set the parking brake . • Sitting in the tractor seat , start engine . After the engine is running , move throttle control to slow position . With motion control lever in neutral ( N ) position , slowly dis - engage clutch / brake pedal . • Slowly move motion control lever to full forward position and hold for five ( 5 ) seconds , or approximately 40 feet . Slowly move lever to full reverse position and hold for five ( 5 ) seconds , or approximately 20 feet . After the tractor moves approximately 20 feet in reverse return the motion control lever to the neutral ( N ) position . Your transmission is now purged and now ready for normal operation . MOWING TIPS • Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing per - formance . See " TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING " in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual . • The left hand side of mower should be used for trim - ming . • Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has been cut . Have the cut area to the right of theof machine . This will result in a more even distribution 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 ( See Fig . 12 ) . 15
