PURGE TRANSMISSION
To ensure proper operation and per-
formance, it is recommended that the
transmission be purged before operating
tractor for the first time. This procedure will
remove any trapped air inside the trans-
mission 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 reinstall-
ation before operating the tractor.
1. Place tractor safely in an area that is
flat for approximately 80 feet in front of
the tractor and set the parking brake.
2. 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.
3. 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 posi-
tion 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. Repeat this proce-
dure three (3) times.
Your transmission is now purged and now
ready for normal operation.
