See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the Service and Adjustments 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. 9). • The left hand side of mower should be used for trimming WHEN OPERATINGINTEMPERATURES BELOW 32°F (0°C), USE FRESH CLEAN WINTER GRADE GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER START! NG. 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 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 section of this manual for additional information, Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur = 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 ortwo rounds, mow in the opposite direction making left hand turns until finished (See FIG 11). I CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank ftllerl neck° Do not overfill Wipe off any spilled R oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gaso-_ line near an 0pen flame, TO START ENGINE , ..... ! (See FIG. 8) When starting engine for the first time or if engine has run out of fuel, it wilt take extra cranking time to move fuel from the tank to the engine. • • . Depress the clutch/brake pedal and setthe 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. FIG. 11 • Move throttle control to midway between "FAST" and "SLOW" positions. . Turn ignition 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 o Move throttle control to "FAST" position. • Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes before engaging clutch/brake pedal or attachment clutch switch. ° If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to re_ duce load and possible fire hazard from dried clippings, Make first cut relatively high, the second to the desired height. • Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug mower and leave undesirable clumps. AlIow 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 speed by selecting a tow enough speed to give the mower cutting performance as well as the quality of cut desired. o When operating attachments, select a ground speed that will suit the terrain and give best performance of the attachment being used NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold temperatures (below 32°F or 0°C), the carburetor fuel mixture may need to be adjusted for best engine performance.

When mower is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc,, Give blades and underside of housing a good coat of grease or rust preventative. Store in a clean, dry area. • Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING" nance section of this manual). • Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt replacement instructions in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual), Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance 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; lightly before painting. Drain the fuel tank_ Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty° in the Mainte- • • Never use engine or carburetor cteaner 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 storage, 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. sand ENGINE 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 Maintenance sectioin of this manual)_ • • 1T 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 MOISTU RE WHICH LEADS TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING STORAGE° ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE,, OIL Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine oil.
