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, 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.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 5)

When starting the engine for the first time or if the engine

has run out of fuel, it will take extra cranking time to move

fuel from the tank to the engine.

• Be sure freewheel control is in the transmission en gaged

position.

• Sit on seat in operating position, depress brake pedal

and set parking brake.

• Move attachment clutch to “DISENGAGED” position.

• Move throttle control to choke position.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting

procedures below.

• Insert key into ignition and turn key clockwise to “START”

position and release key as soon as engine starts. Do not

run starter continuously for more than fifteen sec onds

per minute. If the engine does not start after several at-

tempts, move throttle control to fast position, wait a few

minutes and try again. If engine still does not start, move

the throttle control back to the choke position and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50°F/10°C and above)

• When engine starts, move the throttle control to the

fast position.

• The attachments and ground drive can now be used. If

the engine does not accept the load, restart the engine

and allow it to warm up for one minute using the choke

as described above.

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50°F/10°C and below)

• When engine starts, allow engine to run with the throttle

control in the choke position until the engine runs rough-

ly, then move throttle control to fast position. This may

require an engine warm-up period from several seconds

to several minutes, depending on the tem per a ture.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

• Before driving the unit in cold weather, the trans mis sion

should be warmed up as follows:

• Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

• Release the parking brake and let the 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 also be used during the engine warm-

up period after the transmission has been warmed up.

NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold

temperatures (below 32° F) the carburetor fuel mixture may

need to be adjusted for best engine performance. See “TO

ADJUST CARBURETOR” in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual.
