PREPARATION HOW TO ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION To allow the unit to be pushed, the unit was shipped with the automatic drive disconnect in the PUSH POSITION. Before operating, the automatic drive disconnect must be set in the DRIVE POSITION. (Figure 2) 1. The engine must be off. 2. The automatic drive disconnect is located under the left side of the seat deck next to the hydrostatic transaxle. 3. To engage the transmission, unlatch the automatic drive disconnect. The transmission is now connected and ready to operate. 4. To release the transmission and push the unit, pull and twist the automatic drive disconnect. Latch the automatic drive disconnect in the PUSH position (Figure 2). The transmission is now released and the unit can be pushed. NOTE: In cold weather, the heavy viscosity oil in the transmission will make the unit difficult to push. Automatic Drive Disconnect DRIVE POSITION / Automatic Drive Disconnect PUSH POSITION Figure 2 HOW TO PREPARE THE ENGINE NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled with oil. Check the level of the oil (see "Check The Oil" in the Operation section). Add oil as needed. NOTE: The operation of a new engine will sometimes result in a slight amount of smoke. This smoke is caused by paint or oil on or around the muffler. This is normal and only expected during initial operation. Before you use the unit, read the information on safety, operation, maintenance, and storage. CHECK THE TIRES NOTE: The tires were over inflated for shipment. The correct air pressure is shown on the side of the tire. Check the air pressure in the tires. Tires with too much air pressure will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong air pressure will keep the mower housing from cutting level. The correct air pressure is shown on the side of the tire. CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE MOWER HOUSING Make sure the level of cut is still correct. After you mow a short distance, look at the area that was cut. If the mower housing does not cut level, see the instructions on "How To Level The Mower Housing" in the Service And Adjustment section of this instruction book. IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU START MOWING Check the engine oil, Fill the fuel tank with gasoline, Check the air pressure of the tires. Check the level of the mower housing, Make sure the battery cables are attached. Make sure the wire is attached to the spark plug, MS-3620MA

PREPARATION
HOW
TO ENGAGE
THE TRANSMISSION
To allow
the
unit
to be pushed,
the
unit was
shipped
with
the
automatic
drive
disconnect
in the
PUSH
POSITION.
Before
operating,
the
automatic
drive
disconnect
must
be set in the
DRIVE POSITION.
(Figure 2)
1.
The engine must be off.
2.
The
automatic
drive disconnect
is located under the left side
of the seat deck next to the hydrostatic
transaxle.
3.
To engage the transmission,
unlatch the
automatic
drive dis-
connect.
The transmission
is now
connected
and ready to op-
erate.
4.
To release the transmission
and push the unit, pull and twist the
automatic
drive disconnect.
Latch the
automatic
drive dis-
connect
in the PUSH position
(Figure 2). The transmission
is
now
released
and the unit can be pushed.
NOTE:
In
cold

HOW
TO PREPARE
THE
ENGINE
NOTE: The engine was shipped from
the
factory filled with oil.
Check the level of the oil (see
"Check
The Oil" in the Operation
section).
Add oil as needed.
NOTE: The operation
of a new engine will sometimes
result in
a slight amount of smoke. This smoke is caused by paint or oil
on or around
the muffler.
This
is normal
and only
expected
during
initial operation.
Before you use the unit, read the information
on safety, operation,
maintenance,
and storage.
CHECK
THE TIRES
NOTE: The tires were over inflated for shipment. The correct air
pressure
is shown on the side of the tire.
Check the air pressure in the tires. Tires with too much air pressure
will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong
air pressure
will
keep the mower housing from cutting level. The correct air pressure
is shown on the side of the tire.
CHECK
THE
LEVEL
OF THE
MOWER
HOUSING
Make
sure
the
level
of
cut
is still
correct.
After
you
mow
a short
distance,
look
at the
area
that
was
cut.
If the
mower
housing
does
not
cut
level,
see
the
instructions
on
"How
To Level
The
Mower
Housing"
in the
Service
And
Adjustment
section
of this
instruction
book.
IMPORTANT!
BEFORE
YOU
START
MOWING
Check
the
engine
oil,
Fill the fuel
tank
with
gasoline,
Check
the
air pressure
of the
tires.
Check
the
level
of the
mower
housing,
Make
sure
the
battery
cables
are
attached.
Make
sure
the
wire
is attached
to the
spark
plug,
