OPERATION

.u, i iii iiiii,11,,,11iiiii ii i

The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can resu t l

in severe eye damage. Always wear Safety glasses or aye shields while operating your tractor f

or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over the

spectacles or standard safety glasses,

switch. When engine is running, any atlempt by the

operator to leave the seat Without first setting the parking

brake Will shut off the engine.

problems, the fuel system should be emptied before stor-

age of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start Ihe

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 6)

When starting the engine for the firs_ time or if Ihe engine

has run out of fuel, II wiil take extra cranking time to move

fuel from the tank to the engine

• Depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake,

•Place motion control lever tn neutral (N) position

•Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position,

•Move Ihr6ttle control to fast (,f_) pos[tloh

• Pull choke control out for a cold engine start attempL

For a warm engine start attempt the choke control may

not be needed,

Note: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting

procedures below

•Insert key Intotgnllionand rum key clockwise to°START"

position and release key as soon as engine alerts Do

not run Starter continuously for more than fifteen sec-

onds per minute If Ihe engine does not alert after

several attempts, push 'choke control In, wait a few

minutes and try again, tf engine still does not start, pull

the choke control out end re|_

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F and above)

•When engine starts, slowly push choke control in unlt]

the engine begins t0 run smoothly, if ihe engine sfarts

to run roughly, pull Ihe choke control out s}ightly for a

few seconds and then continue to push the control In

slowly

• The altechmeflls and ground drive can now be used. _1

%heengine does not accept the lea& restart the engine

and allow i_to warm up for one m_nute using the choke

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F and below)

• When engine starts, slowty push choke control in unti!

lhe engine begins to run smoothly Continue to push

the choke control in smalt steps at_owing the engine to

accept small changes in speed and toad, until the

choke control Is fully in If the engine starts to run

roughly pull the choke control out s_ightly for a few

seconds and then continue to push the control in

sloWly, This may require an englne warm-up period

from several seconds to severe! minutes, depending

on the temperature,

HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

-Before driving the unit in cold wealher, the transmis-

slon should be warmed up as foIIows:

• Be sure the tractor Is on level ground,

•Place the motion control lever in neutral,

Release the parking brake and let the clutch/brake

slowly return to operating posi!ion.

• Allow one minute for transmission to warm up,

This can be done during the engine warm up

pedod.

• The attachments can be used during the engine warm-

up period after the transmission has been warmed up

and may requlrethe choke control be puff ed out siighIly

NOTE: if at ahigh altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold

temperatures (below 32 F) the carburetor rue! mixture may

need to be adjusted for best engine performance, See 'rTO

trapped air inside the transmission which may have devel-

oped dudng shipping of your traclor

IMPORTANT; SHOULD YOLtR TRANSMiSSiON REQUIRE

REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, tT

SHOULD BE PURGED AFTER REINSTALLATtON

BEFORE OPERATING THE TRACTOR

motion control lever to reverse posltton. After the

tractor moves approximately five(5)feet return the

motion control lever to the neutral (N) position. Repeat

this procedure with the moti0fl conlrol lever three (3)

times_

• Your tractor is now purged and now ready for normal

operation.

MOWING TIPS

• Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing

is attached to tractor.

• Mower should be propedy leveled for best mowing

performance. Sea'TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in

the Service and Adjuslments section of this manual.

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

guide The blade cuts approximately an inch outside

the runner (See Fig 8)

•The left hand side el mower should be used for trim-

ming

•Drive so tha.t clippings are discharged onto the area

that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the

traclor. This will result in a more even distribution of

Clippings and more _intfoim cutting.

• When mowing Iarge areas, starl by turning to the right

so that cFIpptngs will discharge away from shrubs,

fences, driveways, etc. After one ortwo rounds mow

in _,he opposile direction making left hand turns until

finished (See Fig. tl)

[;

FIG. 11 '

• ff grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to

[educe Ioad and possible fire hazard from dried cllp-

pings. Make first cu_ relatively high; the second to the

desired height.

• Do not mow grass when tt is wet, Wet grass will plug

mower and leave undes!rable clumps AIIow grass to

dry before mowing,

• Always operate engine at ful_throttle when mowing to

assure better mowing performance and proper dis-

charge f_f material, Regulate ground speed by seFect-

!ng a low enough gear to give the mower culling

performance as well as the quaitty of cut desired.

• When operating attachments, select a ground speed

thai will suit the terrain and give best performance of

the att#chment being used.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Thewarrantyonthlstractordoesnot coveritems thathave

been subjected to operator at_use or negIigenee, To

receive fu!lvatue from the warra}ity operator must maintain

tractor as Instructed in this manuat

Some;adjustments willneed to be made periodicallyto

propeily maintain your tractor

All adjustments tn the Service and Adjustments sectlc)n of

this manL_at should be checked at least once each season

• Once a yea€ you should replace the spark plug, clean

or replace air filter, and check blades and bells for

wear, A new spark plug and clean air filter assure

proper air-fueJ mixture ,and help your engine ruh better

andlast longer

BEFORE EACH USE

BRAKE OPERATION

If tractor requires more than six (6) feet stopping distance

a{ high speed fn highest gear, Ihen brake must be adjusted.

(See "TO ADJUST BRAKE" In the Service and Adjust-

ments section of this manual)

TIRES

• Maintain proper airpressure in all tires (See "PROD-

UCT SPECIFICATIONS" on page 3 of this manual):

• Keep tires free ol gasot(ne, oil, or insect control chemi-

cals which can harm rubber,

• Aveid.slumps, slones, deep ruts, sharp objects and

other hazard s that may cause tire damage.

BLADE CARE

For best results mower blades must be kept sharp, Re-

place bent or damaged blades,

BLADE REMOVAL, (See Fig, 12)

• Raise mower to highest position to allow access to

blades, "

• Remove hexboit, lock washer and flat washer securing

blade

• tnstall new or resharpened blade with trailing edge up

towards deck as shown

,, Reassemble hex bolt, tock washer and fiat washer in
