Check engine oil with tractor on level ground, Â° Unthread and remove oil fill cap/dipstick; wipe oil off,. Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and rest oil fill cap on the tube. Do not thread the cap onto the tube. Remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until "FULL" mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.. â¢ For cold weather operation you should change oil for easier starting (See "OIL VISCOSITY CHART" in the Customer Responsibilities section of this manual). = To change engine oil, see the Customer Responsibi{i- ties section in this manual,, ..... %'=-_=--=-_=_" _'_ " FILL CAP/DIPSTICK FIG. 10 ADD GASOLINE â¢ Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane,, (Use of leaded gasoline will increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life).. Do not mix oi! with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness. IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 32Â°F(0Â°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER STARTING.. WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storageÂ° Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storageÂ° To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before stor- age of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season,. See Storage Instruc- tions for additional information,. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank fillerneckÂ° Do not overfill. Wipe offany spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame. 15 TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 6) 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_ â¢ Be sure freewheel control is in the transmission en- gaged positionÂ° Â° Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake. â¢ Place motion control lever in neutral (N) position. â¢ Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position.

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50 Â° F and below) Â° When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until the engine begins to run smoothly,. Continue to push the choke control in small steps allowing the engine to accept small changes in speed and load, until the choke control is fully in. if the engine starts to run roughly, pull the choke control out slightly for a few seconds and then continue to push the control in slowly. This may require an engine warm-up period from several seconds to several minutes, depending on the temperatureÂ° HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP Â° Before ddving the unit in cold weather, the transmis- sion should be warmed lip as follows: Â° Be sure the tractor is on level ground. . Place the motion control lever in neutral Release the parking brake and let the clutch/brake slowly return to operating positlono Â° Allow one minute for transmission to warm up,. This can be done during the engine warm up period_ â¢ The attachments can be used during the engine warm- up period after the transmission has been warmed up and may require the choke control be pulled out sfightiy. 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 'qO ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.
i i illllllul ii ii i1,,, OPERATION PURGE TRANSMISSION ill i_u,i ............................................. CAUTION: Never engage or disengage freewheel lever while the engine is run- ning. ........................... iiiii To ensure proper operation and performance, it is recom- mended 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 devel- oped during shipping of your tractor. IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION REQUIRE REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT SHOULD BE PURGED AFTER REtNSTALLATION BEFORE OPERATING THE TRACTOR â¢ Place tractor safely on level surface with engine off and parking brake set. o Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in freewheeling position (See "TO TRANSPORT" in this section of manual)_ â¢ 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 disengage clutch/brake pedal. â¢ Move motion control lever to full forward position and hold for five (5) seconds Move lever to full reverse position and hold for five (5) seconds_ Repeat this procedure three (3) times. NOTE: During this procedure there will be no movement of drive wheets. The air is being removed from hydraulic drive system... , Move motion controlleverto neutral (N) position. Shut- off engine and set parking brake. o Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in driving position (See "TO TRANSPORT" in this section of manual). Â° Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine, Afterthe engine is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed. With motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly disengage clutch/brake pedal. Â° Slowly move motion control lever forward, after the tractor moves approximately five (5) feet, slowly move motion control lever to reverse position.. After the tractor moves approximately five (5) feet return the motion control lever to the neutral (N) position, Repeat this procedure with the motion control lever three (3) timesÂ° Â° Your tractor is now purged and now ready for normal operation, MOWING TIPS Â° Tire chainscannot be used when the mower housing is attached to tractor_ Â° Mower should be propedy leveled for best mowing performance.. See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the Setâ¬ice and Adjustments section of this manual. o Use the runner on the right hand side of mower' as a guide. The blade cuts approximately an inch outside the runner (See Fig_ 8)_ Â° The left hand side of mower should be used for trim- ming_ Â° Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has been cuL Have the cut area to the right of the tractor_ This will result in a more even distribution of clippings and more uniform cutting. Â° 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 FigÂ° 11)_ Â° 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. Â° Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass wilt plug mower and leave undesirable clurnps. Allow grass to dry before mowing. Â° Always operate engine at futl throttle when mowing to assure better mowing performance and proper dis- charge of material. Regulate ground speed by select- ing a low enough gear to give the mower cutting performance as welt as the quality of cut desired. Â° When operating attachments, select a ground speed that wilt suit the terrain and give best performance of the attachment being used. FIG. 11 16
