OPERATION
PURGE TRANSMISSION
CAUTION: Never engage or disengage 
freewheel lever while the engine is run ning.
To ensure proper operation and performance, it is rec om-
 mend ed 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 de vel-
 oped during shipping of your tractor.
IMPORTANT:  SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION RE 
QUIRE 
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 
and open - with engine off and parking brake set.
2.  Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control 
in disengaged position (See “TO TRANSPORT” in this 
section of manual).
3.  Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the en-
gine is running, move throttle control to slow position. 
Dis en gage parking brake
CAUTION:  At any time, during step 4, there 
may be movement of the drive wheels.
4.  Depress forward drive pedal to full forward position, 
hold for five (5) seconds and release pedal. Depress 
reverse drive pedal to full reverse position, hold for five 
(5) seconds and release pedal. Repeat this procedure 
three (3) times.
5.  Shut- off engine and set parking brake.
6.  Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in 
engaged position (See “TO TRANSPORT” in this sec-
 tion of manual).
7.  Sitting in the tractor  seat, start engine. After the engine 
is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed. 
Disengage parking brake.
8.  Drive tractor forward for approximately five feet then 
backwards for five feet. Repeat this driving procedure 
three times.
Your transmission is now purged and now ready for normal 
op er a tion.
MOWING TIPS
• 
Tire chains cannot be used when the mower hous ing 
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 trim ming.
• 
Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area 
that has been cut.  Have the cut area to the right of 
the tractor.  This will result in a more even dis tri bu tion 
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 (See Fig. 16).

• 
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to 
reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip-
 pings.  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 mow-
ing to
 assure better mowing performance and proper 
dis charge of material.  Regulate ground speed by 
se lect ing a low enough gear to give the mower cut ting 
per for mance 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 tach ment being used.
