eTo change engine oil, see ENGINE LUBRICATION in

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES section of this

manual

ADD GASOLINE

eFill 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)

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES BE-

LOW 32° F (0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE

GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER

STARTING

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 infor-

mation Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the

fuel tank or permanent damage may occur

_AUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank filler ]

neck. Do not over fill Wipe off any spilled I

oil or fuel Do not store, spill or use gaso-

line near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE

When starting engine for first time or if engine has run out of

fuel, itwill take extra cranking time to move fuel from tank to

engine

Your tractor has two lockout switches that connect solenoid to

brake-clutch pedal and attachment clutch lever When start-

ing engine, brake-clutch pedal must be fully depressed and

attachment clutch lever must be in DISENGAGED position to

engage lockout switches The Check Starting Sequence indi-

cator will light unless these conditions are met

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing

switch The engine will stop if operator is not firmly seated in

operator's seat when attachment clutch lever is engaged

Leaning forward or to one side on the seat may cause the

engine to stop

In addition, your tractor has a traction clutch switch If opera-

tor must temporarily leave tractor seat to remove an obstruc-

tion, adjust engine, etc, the engine will stop unless the brake-

clutch pedal is fully depressed and parking brake lever

locked

Depress brake-clutch pedal and set parking brake

Place the shift control lever in NEUTRAL position

Move attachment clutch lever to DISENGAGED position

Pull choke control out to CHOKE position for cold engine

start For warm engine start, de not use choke control

Move throttle control to midway between FAST and SLOW

positions

Turn ignitionkey clockwise to START position and lelease

key as soon as engine starts Do not ran starter

continuously for more than 15 seconds per minute If

engine does not start after several attempts, move throttle

to FAST position, wait a few minutes and try again

ALL-WHEEL STEERING FEATURE

Because both front and rear wheels turn, an all-wheel steering

tractor is very maneuverable if the tractor becomes wedged

against a wall, fence or other obstruction, do the following:

e Move shift control leverto No. 1position

OTurn steering wheel slightly away from obstruction.

NOTE: If you turn steering wheel sharply, rear wheels will

turn in opposite direction of front wheels (turning into

obstruction you are trying to move away from)

e Move shift control lever to reverse position to back out of

dead ends Be sure tlactor is completely stopped before

shifting into reverse

_ AUTION: Look down and behind before and

wh le backing..

OPERATION

MOWING TiPS

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

unit

eRun the engine at FAST speed position.

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 coun-

terclockwise direction until finished (see Fig 10).

eBe sure your mower is adjusted properly,front-to-rear and

side-to-side, (see To Level Mower Deck in Service

and Adjustments section).

eOnly cut grassthat is dry.

eMow grass often. Short grass clippings will decay fast

eKeep blades sharp Sharp blades will cut better,

eYour tractor is very maneuverable and can be reversed to

back out of dead ends

MULCHING MOWING 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

WHEN MULCHING LAWN FOR THE FIRST TIME-

•Set cutting height at highest setting and mow in one

direction.

@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

CAUTION: Look down and behind before

and while backing,, Disengage mower

blades before backing up. I

FIG. 10

RETRAINING LAWN TO BE CUT WITH MULCHING MOWER-

e 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 mulch-

ing 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

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

e 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

e Keep your lawnwatered,fertilized frequently, and free of

debris.

• Mulching mower will not perform properly in wet grass Cut

only when it is dry

NOTE: To convert from mulching to conventional lawnmowing

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

mower deck is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thor-

oughly, 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)

Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt

replacement instructions in the SERVICE AND

ADJUSTMENTS section of this manual)

Lubricate (see CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

section of this manual)

Replace if necessary

Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surface; sand

lightly before painting

BATTERY

Fully charge 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

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM

DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSEN-

TIAL 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 STOR-

AGE ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE

FUEL SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN

STORAGE

eDrain fuel tank

e Start engine and let it run until the fuel lines and

carburetor are empty

e Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in fuel

tank or permanent damage may occur

e Use fresh fuel next season

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.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine oil

(See ENGINE IN CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES section

of this manual)

CYLINDERS

e Remove spark plugs

• Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug holes into

cylinders

e Turn ignition key to START position for a few seconds to

distribute oil

e Replace with new spark plugs

OTHER

eDo 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

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE

ENGINE AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE

STILL WARM
