We have just purchased a new 1554 and are dissapointed with the slow speed of this machine. Takes about 30 minutes more to mow than an older 48" machine. Has anyone encountered problems with this? Suggestions before its goes back to the dealer?

Thanks in advance!

Before it goes back to the dealer, try purging the hydro. You'll find instructions in the owners manual. Pull the hydro release level in back, then start and run at wide open throttle. Step on accelerator for 10 seconds or so then step on reverse for 10 seconds or so. Repeat a couple times, this should work any air out. Otherwise if that doesn't work, others here will suggest other methods I may be unfamiliar with. The machine should run around 5 mph, if you had an older manual, you may find that was faster. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
