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 Ta/I grass can hide obstac/es

Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that 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 movement on the slopes slowand gradual Do not

Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,

disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the

slope.

DO NOT:

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

and gradually downhill, if possible

Do not mow 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

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OiL LEVEL (See Fig. 11)

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.

Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the

dipstick and push it all the way down into the tube, wait

for a few seconds, remove and read oil level. If

necessary, add oil until "FULL" mark on dipstick is

reached_ Do not overfill

OPERATION

ADD GASOLINE

oFill fuel tank. 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

STARTING

WARNING: 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. 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 occun

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 gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 8)

When starting engine for the first time or' if engine has run

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

the tank to the engine

oDepress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake.

= Place gearshift lever in neutral (N) position.

Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position.

Pull choke control out to choke (l\l) position for cold

engine start. For warm engine start do not use choke

control

oMove throttle control to midway between fast (,_) and

slow (,_,) positions°

oInsert 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

seconds 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.

Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes before

engaging drive or' attachments.

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 forbest engine performance. See

'q'O ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the Service and Adjust-

ments section of this manual.

MOWING T PS

o Tire chains cannot be used when the mowerhousing is

attached to tractor.

Mower should be properly leveled for best rnow!rlg

performance. See 'TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING in

the Service and Adjustments section of this rnanual.

Use the runner on the right hand side of mower as a

guide. The blade cuts approximately an inch outside

the runner (See Fig. 10)..

The left hand side of mower should be used for trim-

ruing.

Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the 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 by turning 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 12).

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

reduce load and possible fire hazard frorn dried clip-

pings_ Make first cut relatively high; the second to the

desired height.

Do not mow grass when it is weL Wet grass will plug

mower and leave undesirable clumps.. Allow grass to

dry before mowing.

Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to

assure better mowing performance and proper dis-

charge of material. Regulate ground speed by select-

ing 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 will suit the terrain and give best performance of

the attachment being used.

TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE

(See Fig. 37 & 38)

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:

.With engine not running, move throttle control lever to

fast (,,_) position

Check that speed control lever is against stop screw, if

it is not, loosen casing clamp screw and pull throttle

cable until lever is against screw. Tighten clamp screw

securely.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig. 39)

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 Ioa& If the carburetor does 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 fuel/air mixture.

IMPORTANT: DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLES AND THE

SEATS IN 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 is adjusted properly (see above)

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

wise) closing it finger tight and then turn out (counter-

clockwise) 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 (N) 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 slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting

screw in or out until correct idle is attained.

Idle fuel needle settina - 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

Recheck idle speed, Readjust if necessary,

ACCELERATION TEST -

o Move throttle control lever from slow (_) to fast (,_)

position. If engine hesitates or dies, turn idle mixture

screw out (counterclockwise) 1/8 tum Repeat test and

continue to adjust, if necessary, until engine acceler-

ates smoothly.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust-damage

may resulL

STORAGE

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.

CAUTION: Never store the tractor with

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 tractor for winter storage. When

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

oughly, remove aft 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)

oLubricate as shown in the Customer Responsibilities

section of this manual.

o Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely

fastene& 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

terminal&

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

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

o Drain the fuel tank.

oStart the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and

carburetor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the

fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

o 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 carburetor. 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

o Remove spark plug(s)o

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

cylinder(s),,

o Turn ignition key to"START" position for a few seconds

to distribute oil

o 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

will cause your tractor to rust.

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE

AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
