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. ENGINE OIL FILL CAP/DIPSTICK FiG. 12 ADD GASOLINE PURGE TRANSMISSION ° Fill fue! tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a 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 canbe used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness. IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING tN TEMPERATURES BELOW 32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER STARTING. WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohoi blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moistu re which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fue! system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage 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 Instructions for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. CAUTION: Neve_ ,n renegwheellevetwhiletheengi=neisrun- To ensure proper operation and performance, it is recommended that the transmission be purged before operating tractor for the first time.

After the tractor moves approximately five (5) feet return the motion contro! levertothe neutral (N) position. Repeat this procedure w;th the motion control lever three (3) times. o The special mulching blade will recut the grass clippings many times and reduce them in size so that as they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass and not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for f:he lawn. Always mulch with your highest engine (biade) speed as this will provide the best recutting action of the blades. MOWING ,T PS Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing is attached to tractor. • Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing performance. See TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual. The left-hand side of mower should be used for trimming. Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the tractor. This will result in a more even distribution of clippings and more uniform cutting. When mowing large areas, start by turning tothe right so that clippings wil! discharge away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the opposite direction making ieft hand turns until finished (See Fig. 13). tf grass is extremely tal!, it should be mowed twice to reduce toad and possible fire hazard from dried clippings. Make first cut relatively high; the second to the desired height. , o MOWJNG TiPS mMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER HOUSING FREE OF BUILToUP GRASS AND TRASH. CLEAN AFTER EACH USE. Your tractor is now purged and now ready for normal operation. • Do not mow grass when it is wet. 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 discharge of material. Regulate ground s_<÷edby selecting a low enough gear to give the r_]ower cutting performance as well as the quality of cd[ desired. When operating attachments, select a ground speed that will sLJitthe terrain and give best performance of the attachment being used. • Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action. The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon. At this time the grass has dried and the newly cut area wiil not be exposed to the direct sun. For best results, adjust the mowercutting height so that the mower cuts off only the top one4hird of the grass blades (See Fig; !4). For extremely heavy mulching, reduce your width of cut on each pass and mow slowly. MAX 1/3 FUG.t4 Certain types of grass and grass conditions may re* quire that an area be mulched a second time to como pJetely 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 north to south one week then change to east to west the next week. This will help prevent matting and grain ng of the lawn.
