Moving the Tractor Manually
Your tractor's transmission is equipped with a relief valve for
occasions when it is necessary to move the tractor manually.
Activating this valve forces the transmission fluid to bypass its
normal route, allowing the rear tires to "freewheel." To engage
the relief valve, proceed as follows:
•
Locate the hydrostatic bypass rod in the rear of the tractor.
See Figure 5.
•
Pull the hydrostatic bypass rod outward, then up, to lock it
in place.
NOTE:
The transmission will NOT engage when the
hydrostatic bypass rod is pulled out. Return the rod to its
normal position prior to operating the tractor.
Never attempt to move the tractor manually without first engaging the relief valve. Doing so may
IMPORTANT:
damage the tractor's transmission.
Mowing
WARNING:
To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, keep bystanders, helpers, children
and pets at least 75 feet from the machine while it is in operation. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
This tractor is equipped with one of White Outdoor's high quality cutting decks. The following information will be
helpful when using the cutting deck with your tractor.
•
Do not mow at high ground speed, especially if a mulch kit or grass collector is installed.
•
For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be cut with the discharge thrown towards the center.
After the first two laps, reverse the direction to throw the discharge to the outside for the balance of cutting. This
will give a better appearance to the lawn.
•
Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass invites weed growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.
•
Mowing should always be done with the engine at full throttle.
•
Under heavier conditions it may be necessary to go back over the cut area a second time to get a clean cut.
•
Do not attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds and extremely tall grass. Your tractor is designed to mow lawns,
not clear brush.
•
Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when worn. Refer to Cutting Blades on page 19 of this manual for
proper blade sharpening instructions.
