Check under the mower for any debris or unusual
conditions. After starting the engine, run at full
forward speed for about a minute and then re-
verse speed for another minute. Repeat until the
air noise in the system quiets down and full power
is restored. Check (and fill if necessary) hydraulic
fluid level. The level should be about 4"-5" below
the top of the oil fill. Use synthetic oil: Mobil 1

tance to keep any dirt or debris from getting into
the system. Clean off all parts before disassem-
bly and assembly.
