SAFETY RULES

& Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers &

Be surethe area is clear ofother 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.

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 over-

turn 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 aslope. 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 onslopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly

and gradually downhill, if possible. A

Look for this symbol to point out important

safety precautions. It means CAUTIONIfl

OPERATION

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

• The engine inyour 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 dipstickintothe 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 Responsibili-

ties section in this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded

gasoline witha 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.

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. Acidicgas 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. Drainthe 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 inthe fuel

tank or permanent damage may occur.

CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank I

filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipeoffany I

spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or

use gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 6)

When startingthe engine forthe firsttime orifthe engine has

run out of fuel, it will take extra cranking time to move fuel

from the tank to the engine.

•Besurefreewheelcontrol isinthe transmissionengaged

position.

Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake

pedal and set parking brake.

•Place motion control lever inneutral (N) position.

•Move attachment clutch to =DISENGAGED" position.

Move throttle control to choke position.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting

proceduresbelow.

Insert key into ignition and tum key clockwise to

=START" position and release key as soon as engine

starts. Do not run starter continuously for more than

fifteen seconds per minute. If the engine does not start

after several attempts, move throttle control to fast

position,wait a few minutes and try again. If engine still

does not start, move the throttle control back to the

choke positionand retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)

• When engine starts, move the throttlecontroltothe fast

position.

•The attachments and ground drive can now be used. If

the engine does notaccept the load, restart the engine

and allow it to warm up for one minute usingthe choke

as described above.

COLD WEATHER STARTING ( 50° F AND BELOW)

•When engine starts, allow engine to run withthethrottle

control in the choke position until the engine runs

roughly, then move throttlecontrol to fast position. This

may require an engine warm-up peried from several

seconds to several minutes, depending onthe tempera-

ture.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

•Before ddvingthe unit incold 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 Iy

returnto operating position.

•Allow one minute for transmission to warm up. This

can be done duringthe engine warm up pedod.

•The attachments can also be used dudng the engine

warm-up periodafterthe transmissionhas beenwarmed

up.

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.

PURGE TRANSMISSION

[_lb AUTION: Neverengageordisengage I

freewheel lever while the engine is run-

ning.

To ensure proper operation and performance, it is recom-.

mended that the transmission be purged before operating

tractor for the first time. This procedure will remove any

trapped air inside the transmission which may have bevel-

oped during shipping of your tractor.

IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION REQUIRE

REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT

SHOULD BE PURGED AFTER REINSTALLATION BEFORE

OPERATING THE TRACTOR.

Place tractor safely on level surface with engine off and

parking brake set.

• Disengage transmission by placing freewheelcontrol in

freewheeling position (See "TO TRANSPORT" in this

section of manual).

13

OPERATION

• Sitting inthe tractor seat, start engine. After the engine

is running, move throttle 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 thisprocedure there will be no movement of

drive wheels. The air is being removed from hydraulic drive

system.

•Move motioncontrol lever to neutral (N) position. Shut-

off engine and set parking brake.

•Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in

drivingposition (See "TO TRANSPORT" inthis section

of manual).

•Sitting inthe tractor seat, start engine. After the engine

is running, move throttlecontrolto 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

motioncontrol 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 TIPS

•Mower should be propedy leveled for best mowing

performance. See =TOLEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in

the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

•The lefthand side of mower shouldbe usedfor 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 amore even distribution of

clippings and more uniform cutting.

•When mowinglarge areas, start bytuming to the rightso

that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences,

driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the

opposite direction making left hand turns untilfinished

(See Fig. 11).

•If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to

reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip-

pings. Make first cut relatively high;the second to the

desired height.

•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 dis-

charge of material. Regulate ground speed byselecting

a low enough gear to give the mower cutting perfor-

mance as well as the quality of cut desired.

•When operating attachments, select a ground speed

that willsuitthe terrain and givebest performance ofthe

attachment being used.

RG. 11

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER

HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH.

CLEAN AFTER EACH USE.

•The special mulchingblade willrecut the grassclippings

many times and reduce them insize so that as they fall

onto the lawnthey willdisperse intothe grassand 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 cuttingyour lawn when it iswet. Wet grass tends

to form clumps and interferes withthe mulchingaction.

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 cuttingheightso 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 gressand grass conditionsmayrequire

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

northto south one week then change to east to west the

next week. This willhelp prevent matting and graining

of the lawn.

CAUTION: Lead-acid batteries generate

explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame

and smoking materials away from bat-

teries. Always wear eye protection when

around batteries.

If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be

recharged. If "jumper cables" are used for emergency

starting, follow this procedure:

IMPORTANT: YOUR TRACTOR IS EQUIPPED WITH A 12

VOLT NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM. THE OTHER

VEHICLE MUST ALSO BE A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE

GROUNDED SYSTEM. DO NOT USE YOUR TRACTOR

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

ENGINE

Maintenance, repair, orreplacement ofthe emission control

devices and systems, which are being done at the custom-

_=rsexpense, may be performed by any non-read engine

-epair establishment orindMdual. Warranty repairsmust be

oerforrned by an authorized engine manufacturer's service

3utlet.

i"O ADJUST THRO'n'LE CONTROL CABLE

(See Fig. 31)

]he throttle control has been preset at the factory and

adjustment should notbe necessary. Chock adjustment as

descdbed below before loosening cable. If adjustment is

,_ecessary, proceed as follows:

With engine notrunning,movethrettle control leverfrom

slowto choke position. Slowly move leverfrem choke to

fast position.

Check to see if hole in throttle lever and hole in speed

control bracket are aligned.

If holes are not aligned, loosen cable clamp screw and

align the holes by inserting a pencil or a 1/4" drill bit

through both holes.

Pull throttle cable upto remove slack and tighten cable

clamp screw. Remove alignment pencil or ddll bit.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig. 32)

]he carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjust-

ment should notbe 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 (counter-

clockwise) 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. Ifengine idles

too slow orfast, turn idle speed adjusting screw inorout

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 (counter-

clockwise) until engine runs rough. Tum needle to a point

midway between those two positions.

Recheck idle speed. Readjust if necessary.

ACCELERATION TEST -

•Move throttle control lever from slow to fast position. If

engine hesitates ordies, turn idlefuel adjusting needle

out (counterclockwise) 1/8 tum. Repeat test and con-

tinue to adjust, if necessary, until engine accelerates

smoothly.

High speed stop isfactory adjusted. Do notadjust - damage

may result.

IMPORTANT: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE

GOVERNOR, WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER

ENGINE SPEED. OVERSPEEDING THE ENGINE ABOVE

THE FACTORY HIGH SPEED SETTING CAN BE

DANGEROUS. IF YOU THINK THE ENGINE-GOVERNED

HIGH SPEED NEEDS ADJUSTING, CONTACT YOUR

NEAREST AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER/

STORAGE

ENGINE

Immediately prepare your tractorfor storage atthe end ofthe

season or if the tractor will notbe used for 30 days or more.

I_11_ AUTION: Neverstorethetreotorwith I

gasoline in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open flame

or spark. Allow the engine to cool

before storing in any enclosure.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractorforwinter 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.

•Clean entire tractor (See =CLEANING" inthe Customer

Responsibilities section of this manual).

•Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re-

placement instructions inthe Service and Adjustments

section of this manual).

•Lubricate as shown in the Customer Responsibilities

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 surfaces; sand

lightlybefore painting.

BATTERY

•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 diScon-

nected and batterycleaned thoroughly(see TO CLEAN

BATrERY ANDTERMINALS" inthe Customer Respen-

sibilities section of this manual).

•After cleaning, leave cables disconnected 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.

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM

DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM

PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL

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 DAMAGE THE FUEL

SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

•Drain the fuel tank.

•Start the engine and let it run untilthe fuel lines and

carburetorare empty.

•Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products inthe

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 stor-

age. 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

notdrain the gas tank and carburetor ifusingfuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil(withenginewarm) and replace withcleanengine oil.

(See "ENGIN E" inthe Customer Responsibilitiessection of

this manual).

CYLINDER(S)

•Remove spark plug(s).

•Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into

cylinder(s).

•Tum ignition keyto =STAR'I" positionfora few 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 your can starts to rust.

Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.

•If possible,store your tractor indoorsandcover itto give

protection from dust and dirt.

•Cover your tractor with a suitable protectivecover that

does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic

cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and

will cause your tractor to rust.

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE

AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
