COLD WEATHER STARTING (50°F(10°C)
and below)
6. When engine starts, leave throttle
control in choke position until engine
warms up and begins to run roughly.
Once rough running begins, immedi-
ately move the throttle control to the
fast position. Engine warm-up may
take from several seconds to several
minutes (the colder the temperature,
the longer the warm-up).
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP
Before driving the unit in cold weather,
the transmission should be warmed up as
follows:
1. Be sure the tractor is on level ground.
2. Release the parking brake and let the
brake slowly return to operating posi-
tion.
3. Allow one minute for transmission to
warm up. This can be done during
the engine warm up period.
The attachments can also be used dur-
ing the engine warm-up period after the
transmission has been warmed up.
NOTE: Ifata high altitude (above 3000 feet)
or in cold temperatures (below 32°F(0°C))
the carburetor fuel mixture may need to be
adjusted for best engine performance (see
"TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" inthe Service
and Adjustments section of this manual).
