GENERAL OPERATION

•Read, understand, and follow all instruc-

tions in the manual and on the machine

before starting.

•Only allow responsible adults, who are

familiar with the instructions, to operate

the machine.

•Clear the area of objects such as rocks,

toys, wire, etc., which could be picked

up and thrown by the blade.

•Be__re the area is clear of other people

before mowing. Stop machine if anyone

enters the area.

•Never carry passengers.

•Do not mow in reverse unless absolute-

ly necessary. Always look down and

behind before and while backing.

•Be aware of the mower discharge direc-

tion and do not point it at anyone. Do

not operate the mower without either

the entire grass catcher or the guard in

place.

°Slow down before turning.

•Never leave a running machine unat-

tended. Always turn off blades, set park-

ing brake, stop engine, and remove

keys before dismounting.

• Turn off blades when not mowing.

• Stop engine before removing grass

catcher or uncloggingchute.

•Mow only in daylight or good artificial

light.

•Do not operate the machine while under

the influence of alcohol or drugs.

.* Watch for traffic when operating near or

crossing roadways.

•Use extra care when loading or unload-

ing the machine into a trailer or truck.

SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-

of-control and tipover accidents, which

can result in severe injury or death. All

slopes require extra caution. If you cannot

back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on

it, do not mow it.

DO:

•Mow up and down slopes, not across.

•Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

•Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven

terrain could overturn the machine. Tall

grass can hide obstacles.

•Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so

that you will not have to stop or shift

while on the slope.

•Follow the manufacturer's recommen-

dations for wheel weights or counter-

weights to improve stability.

•Use extra care with grass catchers or

other attachments. These can change

the stability of the machine.

•Keep all movement on the slopes slow

and gradual. Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.

•Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If

tires_lose traction, disengage the blades

and proceed slowly straight down the

slope.

DO NOT:

•Do not tum on slopes unless necessary,

and then, tum slowly and gradually

downhill, if possible.

•Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or

embankments. The mower could sud-

denly turn over if a wheel is over the

edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge

caves in.

•Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced

tracti._l could cause sliding.

•Do nottry to stabilize the machine by

puttingyour foot on the ground.

•Do not use grass catcher on steep

slopes.

CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator

is not alert to the presence of children.

Children are often attracted to the

machine and the mowing activity. Never

assume that childrenwill remain where

you last sew them.

•Keep children out of the mowing area

and under the watchful care of another

responsible adult.

•Be alert and tum machine off if children

enter the area.

•Before and when backing, look behind

and down for small children.

•Never carry children.They may fall off

and be seriously injured or interfere with

safe machine operation.

•Never allow children to operate the

machine.

•Use extra care when approaching blind

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects

that may obscure vision.

SERVICE

•Use extra care in handling gasoline and

other fuels. They are flammable and

vapors are explosive.

Use only an approved container.

Never remove gas cap or add fuel

with the engine running. Allow en-

gine to cool before refueling. Do not

smoke.

Never refuel the machine indoors.

Never store the machine or fuel

container inside where there is an

open flame, such as a water heater.

•Never run a machine inside a closed

area.

•Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade

attachment bolts, tight and keep equip-

ment in good condition.

•Never tamper with safety devices.

Check their proper operation regularly.

•Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or

other debris build-up. Clean oil or fuel

spillage. Allow machine to cool before

storing.

•Stop and inspect the equipment if you

strike an object. Repair, if necessary,

before restarting.

•Never make adjustments or repairs with

the engine running.

•Grass catcher components are subject

to wear, damage, and deterioration,

which could expose moving parts or

allow objects to be thrown. Frequently

check components and replace with

.manufacturer's recommended parts,

when necessary.

•Mower blades are sharp and can cut.

Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and

use extra caution when servicing them.

•Check brake operation frequently.

Adjust and service as required.

•Be sure the area is clear of other people

before mowing. Stop machine if anyone

enters the area.

•Never carry passengers.

•Do not mow in reverse unless absolute-

ly necessary. Always look down and

behind before and while backing.

•Never carry children. They may fail off

and be seriously injured or interfere with

safe machine operation.

•Keep children out of the mowing area

and under the watchful care of another

responsible adult.

•Be alert and rum machine off if children

enter the area.

•Before and when backing, look behind

and down for small children.

•Mow up and down slopes (15 ° Max), not

across.

•Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

•Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven

terrain could overturn the machine. Tall

grass can hide obstacles.

•Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so

that you will not have to stop or shift

IMPORTANT: The motion control lever

does not return to neutral (N) position

when the clutch/brake pedal is depressed.

ENGINE -

•Movethrottle control to slow position.

NOT.E_ Failure to move throttle control to

slow position and allowinr' "_ngine to idle

before stopping may caus,_ engine to

"backfire".

Tum ignition key to =OFF" position and

remove key. Always remove key when

leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized

use.

•Never use choke to stop engine.

IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch

in any position other than "OFF" will cause

the battery to be dishcarged (dead).

NOTE: Under certain conditions when

tractor is standing idle with the engine run-

ning, hot engine exhaust gases may

cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate

this possibility, always stop engine when

stopping tractor on grass areas.

,_ CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-

pletely, as described above, before leaving

the operator's position; to empty grass

catcher, etc.

THROTTLE CONTROL

Always operate engine at full throttle.

•Operating engine at less than full throt-

tle reduces the battery charging rate.

•Full throttle offers the best bagging and

mower performance.

CHOKE CONTROL

Use choke control whenever you are start-

ing a cold engine. Do not use to start a

warm engine.

•To engage choke control, pull knob out:

Slowly push knob in to disengage.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD

The direction and speed of movement is

controlled by the motion control lever.

•Start tractor with motion control lever in

neutral (N) position.

•Release parking brake and clutch/brake

pedal.

•Slowly move motion control lever to

desired position.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

The cutting height is controlled by tum-

ing the height adjustment knob in

desired direction.

•Tum knob clockwise (C,) to raise cutting

height. ,

•/urn KnOD counterclockwise (O) to

lower cutting height.

The cutting height range is approximately

1-1/2" to 4-1/2". The heights are mea-

sured from the ground to the blade tip with

the engine not running. These heights are

approximateandmayvarydepending

uponsoilconditions,heightof grassand

typesof grassbeingmowed.

•The average lawn should be cut to

approximately 2-1/2 inches during the

cool season and to over 3 inches during

hot months. For healthier and better

looking lawns, mow often and after

moderate growth.

•For best cutting performance, grass

over 6 inches in height should be

•mowed twice. Make the first cut rela-

tively high; the second to desired height.

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS

Gauge wheels are propedy adjusted

when they are slightly off the ground when

mower is at the desired cutting height in

operating position. Gauge wheels then

keep the deck in proper position to help

prevent scalping in most terrain condi-

tions.

•Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a

flat level surface.

• Adjust mower to desired cutting height

(See "TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING

HEIGHT" in the Operation section of

this manual).

• With mower in desired height of cut po-

sition, gauge wheels should be assem-

bled so they are slightly off the ground.

Install gauge wheel in appropriate hole

with shoulder bolt, 3/8 washer, and 3/8-

16 Iocknut and tighten securely.

• Repeat for opposite side installing

gauge wheel in same adjustment hole.

presence sensing switch, Any attempt by

the operator to leave the seat with the

engine running and the attachment clutch

engaged will shut off the engine.

•Select desired height of cut:

• Lower mower with attachment lift con-

trol.

•Start mower blades by engaging attach-

r_ef_-'clutch control.

•TO STOP MOWER BLADES - disen-

gage attachment clutch control .....

TO TRANSPORT

When pushing or towing your tractor, be

sure to disengage transmission by placing

freewheel control in freewheeling posi-

tion. Freewheel control is located at the

rear drawbar of tractor.

•Raise attachment lift to highest position

with attachment lift control.

•Remove retainer spring from freewheel

control rod.

•Push control rod in to disengage trans-

mission and reinsert retainer spdng into

control rod hole now on back side of the

bracket.

• Do not push or tow tractor at more than

two (2) MPH.

•To reengage transmission, reverse

above procedure.

NOTE: To protect hood from damage

when transporting your tractor on a truck

or a trailer, be sure hood is closed and

secured to tractor. Use an appropriate

means of tying hood to tractor (rope, cord,

etc.).

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER

ATrACHMENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recom-

mendedby and comply with specifications

of the manufacturer of your tractor. Use

common sense when towing. Too heavy of

a load, while on a slope, is dangerous.

Sres can lose traction with the ground and

cause you to lose control of your tractor.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

•The engine in your tractor has been

shipped, from the factory, already filled

with summer weight oil.

•Check engine oil with tractor on level

ground.

•Unthread and remove oil fill cap/dip

stick; wipe oil off. Reinsert the dipstick

into the tube and rest oil fill cap on the

tube. Do not thread the cap onto the

tube. Remove and read oil level. If nec-

essary, add oil until =FULL" mark on

dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.

•For cold weather operation you should

change oil for easier starting (See =OIL

VISCOSITY CHART" in the Customer

Responsibilities section of this manual).

•To change engine oil, see the Customer

Responsibilities section in this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

•Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular

unleaded gasoline with aminimum of 87

octane. (Use of leaded gasoline _11

increase carbon and lead oxide

deposits and reduce valve life). Do not

mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in

qo_afitities that can be used within 30

days to assure fuel freshness. 16

IMPORTANT: When operating in tempera-

tures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean

winter grade gasoline to help insure good

,_dwAWeatherstarting.

RNING: Experience indicates that

alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or

using ethanol or methanol) can attract

moisture which leads to separation and

formation of acids during storage. Acidic

gas can damage the fuel system of an

engine while in storage. To avoid engine

problems, the fuel system should be emp-

tied before storage of 30 days or longer.

Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let

it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are

empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See

Storage Instructions for additional

information. Never use engine or

carburetor cleaner products in the fuel

t_k or permanent damage may occur.

CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank

filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any

spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use

gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE

When starting the engine for the first time

or if the engine has run out of fuel, it will

take extra cranking time to move fuel from

the tank to the engine.

•Be sure freewheel control is in the

transmission engaged position.

•Sit on seat in operating position,

depress clutch/brake pedal and set

parking brake.

• Place motion control lever in neutral (N) _

position.

•Move attachment clutch to =DISEN-

GAGED" position.

•Move throttle control to fast position

•Pull choke control out for a cold engine

start attempt. For a warm engine start

attempt the choke control may not be

needed.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and

cold starting procedures below.

•Insert key into ignitionand tum key

clockwise to =START"positionand

release key as soon as engine starts.

Do not run starter continuouslyfor more

than fifteen seconds per minute. If the

engine does not start after several

attempts, push choke control in, wait a

few minutes and try again. If engine still

does notstart, pull the choke control out

and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F

AND ABOVE)

• When engine starts, slowly push choke

control in until the engine begins to run

smoothly. If the engine starts to run

roughly, pull the choke control out slight-

ly for afew seconds and then continue

to push the control in slowly.

•The attachments and ground drive can

-now be used. If 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.

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50 ° FAND

BELOW)

•When engine starts, slowly push choke

control in until the engine begins to run

smoothly. Continue to push the choke

control in small steps allowing the

engine to accept small changes in

speed and load, until the choke control

is fully in. If the engine starts to run

roughly, pull the choke control out slight-

ly for afew seconds and then continue

to push the control in slowly. This may

require an engine warm-up period from

several seconds to several minutes,

depending on the temperature.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM-UP

•Before driving the unit in cold weather,

the transmission should be warmed up

as follows:

•Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

•Place the motion control lever in neu-

tral. Release the parking brake and

let the clutch/brake slowly return to

operating position.

•Allow one minute for transmission to

warm up. This can be done during the

engine warm up period.

•The attachments can be used during

the engine warm-up period after the

transmission has been warmed up and

may require the choke control be pulled

out slightly.

NOTE: A high altitude (above 3000 feet)

or in cold temperatures (below 32 F) the

carburetor fuel mixture may need to be

adjusted for best engine performance.

See =TO ADJUST CARBURETOR =in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual.

PURGE TRANSMISSION

,_CAUTION: Never engage or disen-

gage freewheel lever while the engine is

running.

To ensure proper operation and perfor-

mance, it is recommended that the trans-

mission be purged before operating tractor

for the first time. This procedure will

remove any trapped air inside the trans-

mission which may have developed during

shipping of your tractor.

IMPORTANT: Should your transmission

require removeal for service or replace-

ment, it should be purged after reinstalla-

tion before operating the tractor.

•Place tractor safely on level surface with

engine off and parking] brake set.

•Disengage transmission by placing free-

wheel control in freewheeling position

(See =TO TRANSPORT" in this section

of manual).

•Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine.

After the engine is running, move throt-

tle control to slow position. With motion

control lever in neutral (N) position,

slowly disengage clutch/brake pedal.

•Move motion control lever to full forward

position and hold for five (5) seconds•

Move lever to full reverse position and

hold for five (5) seconds. Repeat this

procedure three (3) times.

NOTE: During this procedure there will be

no movement of drive wheels. The air is

being removed from hydraulic drive sys-

tem.

•Move motion control lever to neutral (N)

position. Shut off engine and set parking

brake.

•Engage transmission by placing free-

wheel control in driving position (See

=TO TRANSPORT" in this section of

manual).

•Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine.

After the engine is running, move throt-

tle control to haft (1/2) speed. With

motion control lever in neutral (N)posi-

tion, slowly disengage clutcl'Vbrake

pedal.

•Slowly move motion control lever for-

ward; after the tractor moves approxi-

mately five (5) feet, slowly move motion

control lever to reverse position. After

the tractor moves approximately five (5)

feet retum the motion control lever to

the neutral (N) position. Repeat this pro-

cedure with the motion control lever

three (3) times.

•Your tractor is now purged and now

ready for normal operation.

MOWING TIPS

•"l]ra chains cannot be used when the

mower housing is attached to tractor.

•Mower should be properly leveled for

best mowing performance. See "TO

LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual.

•The left hand side of mower should be

used for trimming.

•Drive so that clippings are discharged

onto the area that has been cut. Have

the cut area to the right of the tractor.

This will result in a more even distribu-

tion of clippings and more uniform cut-

ting.

•When mowing large areas, start by tum-

ing to the right so that clippings will dis-

charge away from shrubs, fences, drive-

ways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow

in the opposite direction making left

hand turns until finished.

•If grass is extremely tall, it should be

mowed twice to reduce load and possi-

ble fire hazard from dried clippings.

Make first cut relatively high; the second

to the desired height.

•Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet

grass will plug mower and leave unde-

sirable clumps. Allow grass to dry

before mowing.

•Always operate engine at full throttle

when mowing to assure better mowing

performance and proper discharge of

material. Regulate ground speed by se-

lecting a low enough gear to give the

mower the best cutting performance as

well as the quality of cut desired.

•When operating attachments, select a

ground speed that will suit the terrain

and give best performance of the at-

tachn_nt being used.

(i=,..

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep

mower housing free of built-up grass and

trash. Clean after each use.

•The special mulching blade will recut

the grass clippings many times and

reduce them in size so that as they fall

onto the lawn they will disperse into the

grass and not be noticed. Also, the

mulched grass will biodegrade quickly

to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always

mulch with your highest engine (blade)

speed as this will provide the best recut-

ting action of the blades.

•Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet.

Wet grass tends to form clumps and

interferes with the mulching action. The

best time to mow your lawn is the early

aftemoon. At this time the grass has

dried and the newly cut area will not be

exposed to the direct sun.

•For best results, adjust the mower cut-

ting height so that the mower cuts off

only the top one-third of the grass

blades. For extremely heavy mulching,

reduce your width of cut on each pass

and mow slowly.

•Certain types of grass and grass condi-

tions may require that an area be

mulched a second time to completely

hide the clippings. When doing a sec-

ond cut, mow across or perpendicular to

the first cut path.

•Change your cutting pattern from week

to week. Mow north to south one week

then change to east to west the next

week. This will help prevent matting and

graining of the lawn.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this tractor does not cover

items that have been subjected to operator

abuse or negligence. To receive full value

from the warranty, operator must maintain

tractor as instructed in this manual. Some

adjustments will need to be made periodi-

cally to properly maintain your tractor.

All adjustments in the Service and

AdjLIstments section of this manual should

be checked at least once each season.

• Once a year you should replace the

spark plug, clean or replace air filter, and

check blades and belts for wear. A new

spark plug and clean air filter assure

proper air-fuel mixture and help your

engine run better and last longer.

BEFORE EACH USE

•Check engine oil level.

TRACTOR

Always observe safety rules when per-

forming any maintenance.

BRAKE OPERATION

If tractor requires more than six (6) feet

stopping distance at high speed in highest

gear, then brake must be adjusted. (See

=TO ADJUST BRAKE" in the Service and

Adjustments section of this manual).

TIRES

• Maintain proper air pressure in all tires

(See "PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS"

on page 5 of this manual).

• Keep tires free Of gasoline, oil, or insect

control chemicals which can harm rub-

ber.

•Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp

objects and other hazards that may

cause tire damage.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent

flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant

may be pumbased from your local parts

dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry

rot and corrosion.

OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM

Be sure operator presence and intedock

systems are working propedy. If your trac-

tor does not function as described below,

repair the problem immediately.

•The engine should not start unless the

clutch/brake pedal is fully depressed

and attachment clutch control is in the

disengaged position.

•When the engine is running, any

attempt by the operator to leave the

seat without first setting the parking

brake should shut off the engine.

•When the engine is running and the

attachment clutch Is engaged, any

attempt by the operator to leave the

seat should shut off the engine.

"• The attachment clutch should never

operate unless the operator is in the

seat.

BLADE CARE

TO SHARPEN BLADE

NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening

blade, but if you do, be sure the blade is

balanced.

Care should be taken to keep the blade

balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause

excessive vibration and eventual damage

to mower and engine.

• The blade can be sharpened with a file

or on a gdnding wheel. Do not attempt

to sharpen while it is on the mower.

•To check blade balance, you will need a

5/8" diameter steel bolt, pin, or a cone

balancer. (When using a cone balancer,

follow the instructions supplied with bal-

ancer).

•Slide blade onto an unthreaded portion

of the steel bolt or pin and hold the bolt

or pin parallel with the ground. If blade

is balanced, it should remain in a hod-

zontal position. If either end of the blade

moves downward, sharpen the heavy

end until the blade is balanced.

NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing

blade. The lobes of the center hole may

TOADJUSTCHOKECONTROL

Thechokecontrolhasbeenpresetat the

factory and adjustment should not be nec-

essary, check adjustment as described

below before loosening cable. If adjust-

ment is necessary, proceed as follows:

• With engine not running, move choke

control (located on dash panel) to full

choke position.

• Remove air cleaner cover, filter and car-

tridge plate to expose carburetor choke

(See =AIR FILTER" in the Customer Re-

sponsibilities section of this manual).

•Choke should be closed. If it is not,

loosen casing clamp screw and move

choke cable until choke is completely

closed. Tighten casing clamp screw se-

curely.

•Reassemble air cleaner.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

The carburetor has been present at the

factory and adjustment should not be nec-

essary. However, minor adjustment may

be required to compensate for differences

in fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the

carburetor does need adjustment, proceed

as follows:

In general, turning the adjusting needles

in (clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel

to the engine giving a leaner fuel/air mix-

ture. Turning the adjusting needles out

(counterclockwise) increases the supply of

fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/air

mixture.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the needles

and the seats in carburetor may result if

screw is turned in too tight.

Closed for

Choke

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

•Be sure you have a clean air filter, and

the throttle control cable is adjusted

propedy (see "TO ADJUST THROTTLE

CONTROL CABLE" in the Service and

Adjustments section of this manual).

•With engine off turn idle fuel adjusting

needle in (clockwise) closing it finger

tight and then turn out (counterclock-

wise) 1 turn.

FINAL SETTING -

• Start engine and allow to warm for five

minutes. Make final adjustments with

engine running and shift]motion control

lever in neutral (N) position.

• The high idle is set at the factory and

cannot be adjusted.

• Idle speed settina - With throttle control

lever in slow position, engine should

idle at 1200 RPM. If engine idles too

slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting

screw in or out until correct idle is

attained.

• Idle fuel needle settina - With throttle

control lever in slow position, turn idle

fuel adjusting needle in (clockwise) until

engine speed decreases and then turn

out (counterclockwise) approximately

3/4 turn to obtain the best low speed

performance.

• Recheck idle speed. Readjust if neces-

sary.

ACCELERATION TEST -

•Move throttle control lever from slow to

fast position. If engine hesitates or dies,

turn idle fuel adjusting needle out

(countemlockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat test

and continue to adjust, if necessary,

until engine accelerates smoothly.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do

not adjust-damage may result.

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the

engine governor, which is factory set for

proper engine speed. Overspeeding the

engine above the facory high speed set-

ting can be dangerous. If you think the

engine-governed high speed needs

adjusting, contact your nearest authorized

service center/department, which has

proper equipment and experience to make

any necessary adjustments.

Immediatelyprepareyourtractorfor stor-

ageat the endof the seasonor if thetrac-

tor willnotbe usedfor 30daysor more.

,ACAUTION: Never store the tractor with

gasoline in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open flame or

spark. Allow the engine to cool before stor-

ing in any enclosure.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractor for winter

storage. This will allow you to clean it thor-

oughly. Remove all dirt, grease, leaves,

etc. Store in a clean, dry area.

•Clean entire tractor (See =CLEANING"

in the Maintenance section of this man-

ual).

•Inspect and replace belts, if necessary

(See belt replacement instructions in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual).

•Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance

section of this manual.

•Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws

are securely fastened. Inspect moving

parts for damage, breakage and wear.

Replace if necessary.

•Touch up all rusted or chipped paint sur-

faces; sand lightly before painting.

BATTERY

•Fully charge the battery for storage.

•After a period of time in storage, battery

may require recharging.

•To help prevent corrosion and power

leakage during long periods of storage,

battery cables should be disconnected

and battery cleaned thoroughly (see

"TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMI-

NALS" in the Maintenance section of

this ma,aual).

• After cleaning, leave cables disconnect-

ed and place cables where they cannot

come in contact with battery terminals.

• If battery is removed from tractor for

storage, do not store battery directly on

concrete or damp surfaces.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent

gum deposits from forming in essential

fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel

filter, _uel_hose, or tank during storage.

Also, experience indicates that alcohol

blended fuels (called gasohol or using

ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture

which leads to separation and formation of

acids during storage. Acidic gas can dam-

age the fuel system of an engine while in

storage.

•Drain the fuel tank.

•Start the engine and let it run until the

fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

•Never use engine or carburetor cleaner

products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

•Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable

alternative in minimizing the formation of

fuel gum deposits during storage. Add sta-

bilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage

container. Always follow the mix ratio

found on stabilizer container. Run engine

at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer

to allow the stabilizer to reach the carbure-

tor. Do not drain the gas tank and carbure-

tor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace

with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in

the Maintenance section of this manual).

CYLINDERS

•Remove spark plug(s).

•Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug

hole(s) into cylinder(s).

• Turn ignition key to =START" position for

afew seconds to distribute oil ....

•Replace with new spark plug(s).

OTHER

•Do not store gasoline from one season

to another.

•Replace your gasoline can if it starts to

rust. Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will

cause problems.

•If possible, store your tractor indoors

and cover it to give protection from dust

and dirt.

•Cover your tractor with a suitable protec-

tive cover that does not retain moisture.

Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot

breathe, which allows condensation to

form and cause your tractor to rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover tractor while

engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
