the air is completely purged from the system. When
the transaxle operates at normal noise levels and
moves smoothly forward and reverse at normal
speeds, then the transaxle is considered purged.

Do not operate the mower without plugging the
mower’s wiring harness into the seat switch. This
switch is an important part of the safety start
interlock system. Serious injury can result if the
seat switch is not plugged into the mower’s wiring
harness.
Never operate the mower with a non-functioning
seat switch. Always reconnect the seat switch to the
mower harness.
