b. Fill fuel tank (Fig, 13). Use fresh, clean, regular

unleaded automotive gasoline. (Use of leaded

gasoline will increase carbon and lead oxide

deposits and reduce valve life). Capacity is 5

guarts.

WARNING: DO NOT USE PREMIUM UNLEADED. This

type fuel reacts with water content in the fuel and tends

to form strong acids which can corrode metal parts and

harm rubber and plastics.

lever has a stop. The stop is provided so that you

will know when you are at full throttle "'FAST"

YOUR MOWER.

THE MOWER MUST BE ADJUSTED PROPERLY FROM

FRONT TO REAR AND LEVELED FROM SIDE "TO SIDE

BEFORE OPERATING. THIS IS NECESSARY FOR LEVEL

AND EFFICIENT MOWING. REFER TO PAGE 22.

IMPORTANT:

DO NOT ADD ADDITIONAL WEIGHTI

NOTE: THIS TRACTOR IS EQUIPPED WITH AN

OPERATOR PRESENCE SENSING SWITCH. ANY AT=

TEMPT BY THE OPERATOR TO LEAVE THE SEAT WITH

THE ENGINE RUNNING AND THE ATTACHMENT,

CLUTCH ENGAGED WILL SHUT OFF THE ENGINE.

CAUTION

TO AVOID INJURY

1. Read owner's manual.

2, Know the location and function of all controls,

3. Keep guards, safety shields and switches in place

and working.

4. Remove objects that can be thrown by blades.

6. Do not mow when children and other are around,

6. Never carry children or passengers,

7. Always look behind machine before backing.

B. Do not mow where machine can tip or slip.

9. If machine stops going uphill, stop blade and back

slowly down.

10. Be sure blades and engine have stopped before Plac-

ing hands or feet near the blades.

I. Remove key when leaving machine,

MAKE SURE PARKING BRAKE WILL HOLD

TRACTOR SECURE.

NEVER PLACE HANDS OR FEET IN

YOUR

4. Mowing Tips

NOTE: TIRE CHAINS CANNOT BE USED WITH THE

MOWER ATTACHED.

READ THE "SAFETY RULES" CAREFULLY

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR MOWER.

REFER TO PAGE 2.

a. Use the runner on the R.H. side as a guide; the blade

cuts approximately an inch outside the runner (Fig.

17).

b, 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, distribu-

tion of clippings and more uniform cutting.

C. When mowing large areas (Fig. 18), start by turning

to the right so that the clippings will discharge away

from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After two or

three rounds, mow in the opposite direction making

left hand turns until finished.

d. if grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice.

The first time relatively high. The second time to the

desired height.

e. The left hand side of mower should be used for

trimming.

5, Operating The Tractor On Hills

a. Move gear shift lever to '" 1ST" gear before starting

up or down hills.

b. AVOID STOPPING OR SHIFTING ON HILLS.

c, If slowing is necessary, move throttle control lever

to slower position.

LEAVE ENOUGH ROOM WHEN STOP-

PING AND STARTING TO ALLOW SLIGHT

TRACTOR ROLL DOWNHILL AS CLUTCH-

BRAKEPEDAL MOVES THROUGH CLUTCH

POSITION.

d. If stopping is absolutely necessary, push clutch-brake

pedal quickly to brake position and engage parking

brake.

e. To restart tractor movement, make sure tractor is in

the lowest speed range (" 1ST'" Gear) and that you

have allowed room to roll slightly downhil!. Depress

clutch-brake fully. Disengaged parking brake and

release clutch-brake pedal SLOWLY to start tractor

movement.

f. Make all turns gradually.

Several minutes after stopping engine, check engine oil

level with tractor on level ground, Wipe dipstick (Fig. 19)

clean, screw it down tight for a few seconds, remove

and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until "'FULL" mark

is reached. (See chart above), NOTE: DO NOT OVERFILL,

1. Make sure all nuts on bolts are tight and cotter pins

and retainer springs are secure,

2. Observe all safety precautions.

3. Keep tractor well lubricated (refer to page 18).

Every 25 Hours (Twice a Mowing Season)

I, Brake Adjustment

This tractor is equipped with an adjustable brake

system mounted on the right side of the transaxle

(Fig. 20).

IF TRACTOR REQUIRES MORE THAN

SIX FEET STOPPING DISTANCE IN

HIGHEST GEAR, THEN BRAKE MUST

BE ADJUSTED.

a. Depress clutch/brake pedal and engage parking

brake.

b. Measure distance between brake operating arm

and nut "A'" on brake rod.

c. tf distance is other than 1-1/2", disengage park-

ing brake, loosen jam nut (Fig. 20) and turn nut

"A'" until distance becomes 1-1/2"'. Retighten

jam nut against Nut "'A'.

Road test tractor for proper stopping distance as

stated above. Readjust if necessary.

Tire Care

Maintain tire pressure in front at 14 PSi and rear tires

at 12 PSI.

.Blade Sharpening

For best results mower blades must be kept sharp.

The blades can be sharpened with a few strokes of

afile or on a grinding wheel, We suggest they be

sharpened after every 25 hours of mowing. Do not

attempt to sharpen while on mower.

a. When grinding, care should be taken to maintain

blade balance and the blade should be checked

for proper balance before reinstallation on mower.

Unbalanced or bent blade will cause excessive

vibration when running, and eventual damage to

mower or engine, Replace bent or damaged

blades.

b, To check blade balance, drive a nail into a beam

or wall. Leave about one inch of the straight nail

exposed. Place center hole of clean blade over the

head of the nail (Fig. 21). NOTE: PLACE CENTER

HOLE OF BLADE ON NAIL. IF BLADE IS PROPER-

LY BALANCED, BLADE SHOULD REMAIN IN

POSITION SHOWN IN FIG, 21, IF EITHER END OF

THE BLADE MOVES DOWNWARD, BLADE IS

NOT BALANCED, SHARPEN THE HEAVY END

UNTIL BLADE IS BALANCED,

Every 50 Hours(Once a Mowing Season)

(Operating in dusty conditions may require more frequent

servicing. )

1. Check Battery

a. Battery acid level in each battery cell

should be even with bottoms of tubes in cells (Fig.

22). Add ONLY distilled water if necessary,

NOTE: DO NOT OVERFILL.

b. Keep battery and terminals clean,

c. Keep battery bolts tight.

d.Keep vent caps tight and small vent holes in caps

open.

e. Recharge at 6 amperes for 1 hour if necessary.

2. Clean Battery and Terminals

Corrosion and dirt on battery and terminals cause the

battery to "'leak'" power. 17
