the engine does not accept the load, restart the engine
and allow it to warm up for one minute using the choke
as described above.

sion should be warmed up as follows:
• Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

• Allow one minute for transmission to warm up.
This can be done during the engine warm up
period.

warm-up period afterthetransmission has been warmed
up.
NOTE; If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or m cold
temperatures (below 32 F) the carburetor fuel mixture may
need to be adjusted for best engine performance. See "TO
