Position Drive Control levers
The drive control levers of the tractor are lowered for
shipping purposes. The levers must be repositioned
to operate the tractor. To reposition the control levers
for operation, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the control lever knobs on the side
of the drive control levers. See Figure 2-4.

2. Lift and swing that control lever upward
into the desired position and secure in place
by tightening the control lever knob. See
Figure 2-4.
3. Note the relative position of the control
lever to the pivot bracket, then repeat
the previous steps to reposition the other
control lever in approximately the same
position.
4. Refer to "Adjusting the Drive Control Levers"
in the Maintenance & Adjustments for
instructions for the final adjustment of the
levers.
Lower Discharge Chute Assembly
WARNING
Never operate the tractor deck without the discharge chute
assembly installed and in the down position.
The discharge chute assembly must be installed
before operating the tractor. To install the discharge
chute assembly, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the carriage screws (a) and flange
lock nuts (b) installed on the mounting
bracket (c) on the deck. See Figure 2-5.

2. Slide the seat forward or rearward to
the desired position; then release the
adjustment lever. Make sure seat is locked
into position before operating the tractor.
See Figure 2-6.
Transmission Oil Expansion Reservoir
The transmission oil expansion reservoir is
connected by hoses to the RH and LH transmission
assemblies, and is located behind the seat box.
The function of the reservoir is to hold the natural
expansion of transmission oil that occurs as the
transmission warms up during operation. DO NOT
FILL THE RESERVOIR.
Under normal operating conditions, no oil should
be added to the reservoir. The COLD oil level
should be no higher than approximately 1⁄4"
(the "Full Cold" mark) above the bottom of the
reservoir. See Figure 2-7.
(a)
Note: Prior to the initial operation of the
tractor, the oil level in the reservoir may be
slightly higher than the maximum due to air
in the oil lines. Operation of the tractor will
eventually purge the air from the lines and
the oil level will settle to the maximum.
