manual

Your tractor has two lockout switches that connect solenoid to
brake-clutch pedal and attachment clutch lever When starting engine, brake-clutch pedal must be fully depressed and
attachment clutch lever must be in DISENGAGED position to

ADD GASOLINE
e

ENGINE

Fill tank (see Fig 9) Use fresh, clean, regular Unleaded
gasoline. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase carbon and
lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life)

In addition, your tractor has a traction clutch switch If operator must temporarily leave tractor seat to remove an obstruction, adjust engine, etc, the engine will stop unless the brakeclutch pedal is fully depressed and parking brake lever
locked

WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels
(called gasohol or using methanol) can attract moisture which
leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the rue! system of an engine while in storage
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
before storage of 30 days or longer Dr ain rue! tank, start engine
and let it run until 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

OPERATION
MOWING

TiPS

Do not use tire chains when mower housing is attached to
unit

Run the engine at FAST speed position.

CAUTION: Look down and behind before
and while backing,, Disengage mower
blades before backing up.

Control forward ground speed with shift control lever in
accordance
with type and quantity of grass being
mowed. The more grass to be cut, a slower forward
ground speed should be used When cutting light grass,
forward ground speed can be increased By observing
cutting action of your mower, you can determine the
forward ground speed
Your mower may tend to leave unmowed strips when long
and tender grass is being mowed Tender grass has a high
internal moisture content and is easily depressed by lawn
tractor wheels, and may not always spring back in time to
be cut To overcome this condition, we advise mowing lawn
in a counterclockwise direction, overlapping previous cut,
which allows lifting action of rotating blades to lift grass into
cutting path
When mowing large areas, start in a clockwise direction so
clippings will discharged away from shrubs, fences,
driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in counterclockwise direction until finished (see Fig 10).

FIG. 10
RETRAINING LAWN TO BE CUT WITH MULCHING MOWER-

Be sure your mower is adjusted properly,front-to-rear and
side-to-side,
(see To Level Mower Deck in Service
and Adjustments section).

Only cut grassthat

Mow grass often. Short grass clippings will decay fast

Keep blades sharp Sharp blades will cut better,

Your tractor is very maneuverable
back out of dead ends

MULCHING

Mow your lawn frequently,

For a mulching mower to perform best, we recom m end that
you remove about 1"to 1-1/2" of grass with each cut If your
grass is very thick or lush, you may want to remove as little
as 1/2" on final cut to produce the best possible result. This
could mean that you must mow your lawn every 3-5 days
under certain growing conditions.

If the height of the grass should get out of control, we
recommend that you follow instructions for first time mulching to bring lawn back to a manageable height The optF
mum grass height is dependenton grass type and immediate
local growing conditions Consult your local agricultural
extension office for this information

TiPS

To mulch grass with a mulching mower, you will need to do
several things differently than with a conventional mower.
You must change your mowing habits in order to maximize
effectiveness of your mulching mower. This could mean slowing
down the pace that you currently use to mow your lawn to allow
the mulchar extra time to cut and recur the clippings into a fine
mulch. The volume of grass that is under the deck of a mulcher
is greater at any time than it is with a conventional lawn mower

Keep your engine running at full speed (throttle at fast). If
you slow down the engine running speed you will slow blade
speed as well, which will impair the ability of the mower to
cut grass properly
After mowing your lawn, check under the mower deck to be
sure it is clean and free of grass buildup Do not allow the
grass to build up because it will impair ability of mower to cut
properly

WHEN MULCHING LAWN FOR THE FIRST TIME•

Set cutting
direction.

height at highest setting and mow in one

Upon completion of first mowing, lower the cutting height to
middle setting and mow a second time at 90 ° to first
cut or in a criss-eross pattern. You can also recut in
same direction by overlapping the center of the mower over
the wheel tracks of the first cut

Keep the blade sharp It needs to be kept sharp and free
from nicks to keep from damaging the grass tips while
cutting grass quickly and efficiently

Keep your lawn watered,fertilized frequently, and free of
debris.

shorten engine life

Fuel filter should be replaced once each season If fuel filter
becomes clogged, obstructing fuel flow to carburetor, replacement is required Make sure new filter is installed with

FUEL SYSTEM

Immediately prepare your unit for storage at the end of the
season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more

IMPORTANT:

IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM
DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS
THE CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL
HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE
ALSO , EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT
ALCOHOL-BLENDED
FUELS (CALLED
GASOHOL
OR USING ETHANOL OR
METHANOL) CAN A'FFRACT MOISTURE
WHICH LEADS TO SEPARATION AND
FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING STORAGE
ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE
FUEL SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN
STORAGE

DANGER
Never store the engine with fuel indoors or in a poorly
ventilated enclosure, where fuel fumes may reach an
open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water
heater, clothes dryer, etc
Handle the gasoline carefully
It is highly flammable and
careless use could result in serious fire damage to your
person and/or property
Drain the fuel into an approved container outdoors away
from an open flame.

TRACTOR
Remove mower deck from tractor for winter storage
When
mower deck is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc Give blades and
underside of mower deck housing a good coat of grease or
rust preventative. Store in a clean, dry area.
e

Clean entire tractor (See CLEANING in CUSTOMER
RESPONSIBILITIES
section of this manual)

Lubricate
(see CUSTOMER
section of this manual)

Be sure all nuts, bolts and screws are securely fastened
Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage and wear

lightly before painting

paint surface;

Drain fuel tank

Start engine and let it run until the fuel
carburetor are empty

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in fuel
tank or permanent damage may occur

Use fresh fuel next season

lines and

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL) is an acceptable
alternative in minimizing formation of fuel gum deposits during
storage.
Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage
container Always follow mix ratio found in stabilizer container
Run engine as least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow
stabilizer to reach the carburetor
Do not drain gas tank and
carburetor if using stabilizer.

Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt
replacement
instructions
in the SERVICE
AND
ADJUSTMENTS section of this manual)

CYLINDERS

BATTERY

Remove spark plugs

Fully charge battery for storage

•

After a period of time in storage, battery may require
recharging

Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug holes into
cylinders

Turn ignition key to START position for a few seconds to
distribute oil

Replace with new spark plugs

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 TERMINALS in CUSTOMER
RESPONSIBILITIES

OTHER

section of this manual)

After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place
cables where they cannot come in contact with battery
terminals_

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 it to give
protection from dust and dirt
Cover 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
