5.Vuelva a fijar el accesorio de purga del aceite en el alojamiento de la turbina del motor.

6.Vuelva a llenar el motor con aceite a través del tubo de la varilla indicadora de nivel para relleno del aceite. Vacíelo lentamente. No lo llene demasiado. Para la capacidad aproxi- mada vea las “Especificaciones del Producto” sección de este manual.

7.Use un medidor en la tapa/varilla indicadora del nivel para relleno del aceite para revisar el nivel. Mantenga el aceite en la línea de lleno (FULL) en la varilla indicadora de nivel. Apriete la tapa en el tubo en forma segura cuando termine.

FILTRO DE ACEITE DEL MOTOR

Cambie el filtro de aceite del motor cada tem- porada o vez por medio que cambie el aceite, si el tractor se usa más de 100 horas en un año.

FILTRO DE AIRE

Su equipo no funcionará correctamente si el filtro de aire está sucio. Cada 25 horas de fun- cionamiento o en cada temporada, reemplace el pre limpiador; y el cartucho donde viene el

papel [service paper cartridge] reemplácelo cada

100 horas de operación o en cada temporada, según el momento en el que primero ello sea necesario.

Lo que ocurre con mayor probabilidad es que el limpiador del servicio de aire esté sucio.

1.Quite la cubierta.

2.Con mucho cuidado, quite el cartucho del filtro de aire y el pre limpiador de la base.

3.Limpie la base con mucho cuidado para evitar que caiga ninguna partícula en el carburador.

Cubierta Espuma

NOTA: Si el cartucho está muy sucio o dañado, reemplácelo.

4.Coloque firmemente en la base el nuevo pre limpiador y el nuevo cartucho.

5.Cierre la cubierta.

IMPORTANTE: Para limpiar el cartucho no se pueden usar solventes derivados del petróleo, como el keroseno, porque pueden deteriorar el cartucho. No engrase el cartucho; ni use aire a presión para limpiarlo.

LIMPIEZA DE LA REJILLA DE AIRE

La rejilla de aire debe mantenerse sin mugre y paja para evitar el daño al motor debido al sobre- calentamiento. Límpiela con un cepillo de alambre

ocon aire comprimido para remover la mugre y las fibras de goma secas, pegadas.

SISTEMA DE ENFRIAMIENTO DE AIRE

Los escombros pueden atascar el sistema de en- friamiento de aire de motor. Remueva la cubierta del soplador y limpie el área mostrada para evitar el recalentamiento y daños al motor.

SILENCIADOR

Inspeccione y cambie el silenciador corroído y el amortiguador de chispas (si viene equipado) pues pueden crear un peligro de incendio y/o daños.

BUJÍA(S)

Cambie las bujía(s) al comienzo de cada tem- porada de siega o después de cada 100 horas de operación, lo que suceda primero. El tipo de bujía y el ajuste de la abertura aparecen en “ES- PECIFICACIONES DEL PRODUCTO” sección de este manual.

FILTRO DE COMBUSTIBLE EN LINEA

El filtro de combustible debe cambiarse una vez cada temporada. Si el filtro de combustible se tapona, obstruyendo el flujo del combustible hacia el carburador, es necesario cambiarlo.

2.Ponga el filtro de combustible nuevo en su posición en la línea de combustible con la flecha señalando hacia el carburador.

3.Asegúrese de que no hayan fugas en la línea del combustible y que las grapas estén colocadas en forma adecuada.

PURGE TRANSMISSION

CAUTION: Never engage or disengage freewheel lever while the engine is running.

To ensure proper operation and performance, it is recommended 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 developed during shipping of your tractor.

IMPORTANT: Should your transmission require 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 of objects 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 engine is running, move throttle control to slow position. With motion control lever in neutral position, slowly disengage clutch/brake pedal.

CAUTION: At any time, during step 4, there may be movement of the drive wheels.

4.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.

5.Move motion control lever to neutral position. Shutoff engine and set parking brake.

6.Engage transmission by placing free- wheel control in engaged position (See “TO TRANSPORT” in this section of manual).

7.Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed. With motion control lever in neutral position, slowly disengage clutch/brake pedal.

8.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 position. Repeat this procedure with the

motion control lever three (3) times. Your transmission is now purged and now ready for normal operation.

MOWING TIPS

•Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing 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 trimming.

•Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has already been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the tractor. This will result in a more even distribution 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.

•If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clippings. 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 undesir- able clumps. Allow grass to dry before mowing.

•Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to ensure better mow- ing performance and proper discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by selecting a low enough speed to give the mower cutting performance 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 attachment being used.
