BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
Your CM Mower will provide long and
dependable service if given proper care during
the first 50-hour break-in period. During the first
50 hours of operation:
1. Avoid“lugging”the engine. Operating in too
high a gear under heavy load may cause
engine lugging, which is indicated when the
engine will not respond to a throttle increase.
2. Use the lower gear ratios when pulling heavy
loads and avoid continuous operation at
constant engine speeds. You will save fuel
and minimize engine wear by selecting the
correct gear ratio for a particular operation.
Operating the tractor in low gear with a light
load and high engine speed wastes fuel.
3. Avoid prolonged operation at either high or
low engine speeds without a load on the
engine.
4. Check the instruments frequently and keep
the radiator and oil reservoirs filled to
recommended levels. Daily checks include
the engine oil level, radiator coolant, and air
cleaner.
5. After the first 50 hours of use, be sure to
perform the maintenance items listed in the
maintenance schedule.
