SAFETY RULES &

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OFAMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS.

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

•Read, understand, and follow all instructions 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 sure the area isclear of otherpeople before mowing. Stop

machine if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always

leek down and behind before and while backing.

,, Be aware of the mower discharge direction 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 unattended. Nways turn off

blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove keys

before dismounting.

• Turn off blades when not mowing.

° Stop engine before removing grass catcher or unclogging

chute.

• Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

° Do not operate the machine while under the influence of

aicoho! or drugs.

° Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

•Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into

atrai_er or truck.

U, SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to toss-of=control and tipover

accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. AHslopes

require extra caution. Ifyou cann ot back up the slope orifyou 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. Cheese a low gear so that you wilf 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 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 straightdewn the

slope.

DO NOT:

•Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly

and gradually downhill, if possible.

.Do notmow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The

mower could suddenly 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 traction could cause

sliding.

•Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the

ground.

•Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

ill. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not afert to the

presence ofchildren. Children are often attracted to the machine

and the mowing activity. Neverassume that children will remain

where you last saw them.

• Keep children out of the mowing area and underthe watchful

care of another responsible adult.

•Be alert and tum machine off ifchildren 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.

IV. SERVICE

•Use extra care inhandling gasoline and otherfuels. They are

flammable and vapors are explosive.

Use only an approved container.

Never remove gas cap or add fue! with the engine

running. Allow engine 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 equipment in good condition.

=Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper

operation regularly.

•Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.

STARTING.

WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohot blended

fuels (called gasoho_ or using ethanot 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 stor-

age 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 Instruc-

tions for additional 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. Wipe off any

spilled oil or fuel Do not store, spill or

use g_ine near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 8)

When starting engine for the firsL time or if engine has run

out of fuel, itwitt take extra cranking time to move fuel from

the tank to the engine.

- Depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake.

*Place gearshift lever in "NEUTRAL" position,

Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position.

Pull choke control out to "CHOKE" position for cold

engine start. For warm engine start do not use choke

control.

*Move throttle control to midway between "FAST" and

"SLOW" positions.

Insert key into ignition and turn key clockwise to"START"

position and release key as soon as engine starts. Do

not run starter continuously for more than fifteen sec-

onds per minute, if engine does not start after several

attempts, move throttle control to "FAST" position, wait

a few minutes and try again.

When engine starts, slowly push choke control in.

. Move throttle control to "FAST" position.

Atlow engine to warm up for a few minutes before

engaging drive or attachments.

TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE

(See Fig. 28)

The throttle control has been preset at the factory and

adjustment should not be necessary. Check adjustment as

described below before loosening cable, if adjustment is

necessary, proceed as follows:

o With engine not running, move throttle control lever to

"FAST" position.

o Check that throttle lever is against high speed stop. If

it is not, loosen clamp screw and pull throttle cable until

lever is against stop. Tighten clamp screw securely.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig. 29)

The carburetor has been present at the factory and adjust-

ment should not be necessary. However, minor adjustment

may be required to compensate for differences in fuel,

temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does not

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 mixture. Turning the adjusting needles out (coun-

terclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine

giving a richer fuet/air mixture.

IMPORTANT: DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLES AND THE

SEATS tN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS

TURNED IN TOO TIGHT.

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

• Be sure you have a clean air filter, and the throttle

control cable and choke are adjusted properly (see

above).

ADJUSTMENTS

With engine off turn idle fuel adjusting needle in (clock-

wise) closing it finger tight and then turn out

(counterclockwise) 1-1/4 turns.

* Turn main fuel adjusting needle in (clockwise) closing

finger tight and then turn out (counterclockwise) 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" position.

With throttle control lever in "FAST" position, turn main

fuel adjusting needle in (clockwise) until engine begins

to die then turn out (counterclockwise) until engine

runs rough. Turn needle to a point midway between

those two positions.

Idle speed setting- With throttle control lever in"SLOW"

position, engine should idle at 1400 RPM. If engine

idles too stow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting screw in

or out until correct idle is attained.

- Idle fue! needle setting - With throttle control lever in

"SLOW" position, turn idle fuel adjusting needle in

(clockwise) until engine begins to die and then turn out

(counterclockwise) until engine runs rough. Turn needle

to a point midway between those two positions,

Immediately prepare your tractor for storage at the end of

the season or if the tractor will not be used for 30 days or

more.

N_-Neverstore the tractor wit_'_*"-'---'--_

n the tank inside a building

i _ where fumes may reach an open flame

J_ or spark. AI!ow the engine to cool

in.,y .o'osu,e.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractor for winter storage. When

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

oughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a

clean, dry area.

o Clean entire tractor (See"CLEANING" in the Customer

Responsibilities section of this manual).

o inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re-

placement instructions in the 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

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 TERMINALS" in the Cus-

tomer Responsibilities section of this manual).

After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place

cables where they cannot come in contact with battery

terminals.

Be sure battery drain tube is securely attached,

If battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not

store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces,

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

!MPORTANT: 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 until the fuel lines and

carburetor are empty,

,Never use engirte 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 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 carbu rotor. Do

not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OiL

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

oil. (See "ENGINE" in the Customer Responsibilities

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 a 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 indoors and cover it to

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

witl cause your tractor to rust.

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE

AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM,
