ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to
protect themselves and others from serious injury.
•
Keep machine free ofgrass, leaves or other debris buildup which can touch hot exhaust/engine parts and bum.
Do not allow the mower deck to plow leaves or other
debris which can cause build-up to occur. Clean any oil
or fuel spillage before operating or storing the machine.
Allow machine to cool before storage.
II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopesare a majorfactor relatedto loss-of-controland tipover
accidents,whichcan resultin severe injuryor death. All slopes
requireextracaution.If youcannotbackup theslopeor ifyoufeel
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 sothat you will not
have to stop or shift while on the slope.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights to improve stability.
Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. These can change the stability of the machine.
Keep all movementon the slopesslowand gradual Do not
make sudden changes in speed or direction.
Avoidstartingor stoppingon a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengagethe bladesand proceedslowlystraightdownthe

SAFETY RULES
&

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers &

Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop
machine if anyone enters the area.
Never carry passengers or children even with the blades off.
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely 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 ofthe mowing area and under the watchful
care of another responsible adult.
Be alert and turn machine off it children enter the area.

Look for this symbol to point out important
safety precautions.
It means CAUTIONIfl
BECOME ALERT!!I
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED.

CAUTION:
Do not coast down a hill in
neutral, you may lose control of the tractor.

Before and when backing, look behind and down for small
children.
CAUTION: Tow only the attachments that
are recommended
by and comply with
specifications of the manufacturer of your
tractor. Use common sense when towing.
Operate only st the lowest possible speed
when on a slope. Too heavy of a load, while
on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose
traction with the ground and cause you to
lose control of your tractor.

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.
Usa slow speed. Choose a lowgear so that you will not have
to stop or shift while on the slope.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the
slope.
If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades, shift
into reverse and back down slowly.
Do not tum on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly
and gradually downhill, if possible.

CAUTION: In order to prevent accidental
starting when setting up, transporting, adjusting or making repairs, always disconnect spark plug wire and place wire where
it cannot contact spark plug.

HEIGHT

Thecutting height rangeis approximately 1-1/2to 4". The
heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with
the engine not running. These heights are approximate and
may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of grass
and types of grass being mowed.
•
The average lawn shouid be cutto 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
relatively high; the second to desired height.

•

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.
Unthreed and remove oil fill cap/dipstick; wipe oil off.
Reinsert the dipstick intothe tube and rest oil fill cap on
the tube. Do not thread the cap onto the tube. Remove
and read oil level. If necessary, 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.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F and above)
•
When engine starts, move the throttle controltothe fast
position.
•
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 ° F AND BELOW)
•
When engine starts, allow engine to run with thethrottle
control in the choke position until the engine runs
roughly, then move throttle control to fast position. This
may require an engine warm-up peried from several
seconds to several minutes, depending on the temperature.

ADD GASOLINE
•

Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane. (Use of leaded
gasoline will increase carbon and lead oxide deposits
and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.
IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES
BELOW 32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE
GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER
STARTING.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP
•
Before ddvingthe 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 neutral.
Release
the parking brake and let the clutch/brake s I o w I y
return to operating position.
• Allow one minute for transmission to warm up. This
can be done during the engine warm up pedod.
•
The attachments can also be used dudng the engine
warm-up periodafterthe transmissionhas been warmed
up.

WARNING: Experience indicatesthat 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 emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. Drain the gastank, startthe engine and let itrun until
the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next
season. See Storage Instructionsforadditional information.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank or permanent damage may occur.
CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank
filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipeoffany
spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or
use gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE

NOTE: If at 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.

MULCHING

MOWING

TIPS

IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER
HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH.
CLEAN AFTER EACH USE.

Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine
is running, move throttle controlto half (112) speed. With
motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly
disengage clutch/brake pedal.
Slowly move motion control lever forward, after the
tractor moves approximately five (5) feet, slowly move
motion control leverto reverse position. After the tractor
moves approximately five (5) feet return the motion
control lever to the neutral (N) position. Repeat this
procedure with the motion control lever three (3) times.
Your tractor is now purged and now ready for normal
operation.

MOWING
•

RG. 11

•

TIPS

•

Mower should be propedy leveled for best mowing
performance. See =TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in
the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.
The lefthand side of mower shouldbe used for trimming.
Drive so that clippings are discharged ontothe area that
has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the
machine. This will result in a more even distribution of
clippings and more uniform cutting.
When mowing large areas, start bytuming to the right so
that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences,
driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the
opposite direction making left hand turns until finished
(See Fig. 11).
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to
reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clippings. Make first cut relatively high; the second to the
desired height.

•

The special mulching blade willrecut the grassclippings
many times and reduce them in size so that as they fall
onto the lawn they willdisperse intothe grass and notbe
noticed. Also, the mulched grass will biodegrade
quickly to provide nutrientsfor the lawn. Always mulch
with your highest engine (blade) speed as this will
provide the best recutting action of the blades.
Avoid cutting your lawn when it iswet. Wet grass tends
to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action.
The best time to mow your lawn isthe early afternoon.
At this time the grass has dried and the newly cut area
will not be exposed to the direct sun.
For best results, edjust the mower cutting height so that
the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass
blades (See Fig. 12). For extremely heavy mulching,
reduce your width of cut on each pass and mow slowly.
Certain types of gress and grass conditionsmay require
that an area be mulched a second time to completely
hide the clippings. When doing a second 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.

MAX 1/3

Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug
mowerand leave undesirable clumps. AIIowgrasstodry
before mowing.
Always operate engine at full throtUe when mowing
to assure better mowing performance and proper discharge of material. Regulate ground speed byselecting
a low enough gear to give the mower cutting performance as well as the quality of cut desired.
When operating attachments, select a ground speed
that willsuit the terrain and give best performance ofthe
attachment being used.

BRACKET

(See Fig. 32)

]he carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary. However, minor adjustment
-nay be required to compensate for differences in fuel,
temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need
_djustment, proceed as follows:
In general, turning the adjusting needles in (clockwise)
decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner
fuel/air mixture. Tuming the adjusting needles out (counterclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving
a dcher fuel/air mixture.
IMPORTANT:
DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLES AND THE
SEATS IN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF NEEDLE IS
TURNED IN TOO TIGHT.
NOTE: The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is
9quipped with an idle fuel adjusting needle with a limiter cap,
which allows some adjustment within the limits allowed by
the cap. Do not attempt to remove the limiter cap. The limiter
cap cannot be removed without breaking the adjusting
needle.
•
Be sure you have aclean air fiifer and the threttle contrel
cable is adjusted properly (see above).
Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes. Make
adjustments with engine running and shift/motion control
lever in neutral (N) position.
Idle sDeed settino - With throttle control lever in slow
position, engine should idle at 1750 RPM. If engine idles
too slow orfast, turn idle speed adjusting screw in orout
until correct idle is attained.
•
Idle fuel needle settine- With threttle controllever in slow
position, turn idle fuel adjustment needle in (clockwise)
until engine begins to die and then turn out (counterclockwise) until engine runs rough. Tum needle to a point
midway between those two positions.
Recheck idle speed. Readjust if necessary.

ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL
SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.
•
Drain the fuel tank.

TRACTOR
Remove mower from tractorfor winter storage. When mower
is to be stored for a pedod of time, clean it thoroughly,
remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry
area.

•

NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in
minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer 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 sarburetor. Do
not drain the gas tank and carburetor ifusing fuel stabilizer.

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 surfaces; sand
lightlybefore painting.

•
•

Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetorare empty.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
Use fresh fuel next season.

Fully charge the battery for storage.
After a period of time in storage, battery may require
recharging.
To belp preventcorrosionand power leakage dudng long
periods of storage, battery cables should be diSconnected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see TO CLEAN
BATrERY ANDTERMINALS" inthe Customer Respensibilities section of this manual).
After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place
cables where they cannot come in contact with battery
terminals.

OTHER

If battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not
store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.

•
•

Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
•
If possible, store your tractor indoors and cover itto give
protection from dust and dirt.
•
Cover your tractor with a suitable protective cover that
does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic
cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and
will cause your tractor to rust.
