The cutting height range is approximately lq/2 to 4'. The

heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with

the engine not running. These heights are approximate

and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of

grass and types of grass being mowed.

• The average lawn should be cutto approximately2-1/2

inches during the cool season and to over 3 inches

during hot months. For healthier and better looking

lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.

• For best cutting performance, grass over 6 inches in

height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut

relatively high; the second to desired height.

Turn ignition key to "OFF" position and remove key.

Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent

unauthorized use.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 12)

•The engine inyour 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 screw cap tLght, wait for a few seconds,

remove and read oil IeveL If necessary, add oil until

'!FULL" mark on dipst{ck is reached. Do not overfill.

• For cold weather operation you should change oil for

easier starting (See "OIL VISCOSITY CHART" in the

Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Custome r Responsibili-

ties section in this manual.

OPERATION

ADD GASOLINE I_

•Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded

::gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane. (Useof leaded

gasoline wilt increase carbon and lead oxide deposits

and reduce Valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30

days to assure fuel freshness.

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES

BELOW 32°F(0°C) USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE

GASOLINE T'O HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER

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 occur.

llll i i ii ii llllllii

CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank

filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe offany

spilled oil or fuel. Donot store, spill or

use gasoline near an open flame.

lll,lll,i

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 6)

When starting the engine for the first time or ifthe engine

has run out of fuel, it will take extra crankingtime to move

fuel from the tank to the engine.

•Depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake.

• Place gear shift lever in neutral (N) position.

•Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position.

•Move throttle control to choke (N) position.

Note: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting

procedures below.

•Insert keyinto ignition andturn key clockwiseto"START"

position and release key as soon as engine starts. Do

not run starter continuously for more than fifteen :sec-

onds per minute. If the engine does not start after

several attempts, move throttle control to fast (.t_)

position, wait afew minutes and try again. If engine still

does not start, move the throttle control back to the

choke ( X ) position and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)

•When engine starts, move the throttle control to the fast

(,top)position.

•The attachments and ground drive can now be used. If

the engine does not accept the load, restart the engine

and allow it to warm up for one minute using the choke

as described above.

COLD WEATHER STARTING ( 50° F and below)

• When engine starts0allow engineto run with the throttle

control in the choke ( X ) position until the engine runs

roughly, then move thrott e control to fast (,_) position.

This may require an engine warm-up period from

several seconds to several minutes, depending on the

temperature.

• The attachments can also be used during the engine

warm-up period.

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'q'O

ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual. : : :: ..... _ :: ..... :i

MOWING TIPS ........

• Tire chains cannotbe used when the mower housingis

attachedto tractor,

•Mower should be propedy leveled for best mowing

performance. See'q'O LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in

the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

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

ming.

•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 wilt 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. 8 ).

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

reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip-

pings. 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. 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 CARBURETOR (See Fig. 28)

NOTE: The carburetor on this engine is tow emission, it is

equipped with an idle fuel adjusting needle with a limiter

cap, which allows some adjustment within the limits al-

lowed by the cap. Do not attempt to remove the limiter cap.

The limiter cap cannot be removed without breaking the

adjusting needle.

The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjust-

ment should not be necessary. However, minor adjust-

ment may be required to compensate for differences infue!,

temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need

adjustment, proceed as follows:

In general, turning idle mixture valve in (clockwise) de-

creases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/

air mixture. Turning the idle mixture valve out (counter-

clockwise) increasesthe supply of fuel to the engine giving

a richer fuel/air mixture.

IMPORTANT; DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLE VALVE AND

THE SEAT tN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS

TURNED IN TOO TtGHT.

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

• Air cleaner assembly must be assembled to the carbu-

retor when making carburetor adjustments.

° Be sure the throttle control cable is adjusted properly

(see above).

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,

• Move throttle control lever to slow (,I_) position. With

finger, rotate and hold throttle lever against idle speed

screw. Turn idle speed screw to attain 1750 RPM.

• While still holding throttle lever against idle speed

screw, turn idle mixture valve full travel clockwise then

counterclockwise until engine runs rough. Turn valve

to a point midway between those two positions. Re-

lease throttle lever. : :

ACCELERATION TEST -

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

position. If engine hesitates or dies, turn idle mixture

valveout (counterclockwise) I!8turn. Repeattest and

continue to adjust, if necessary, until engine acceler-

ates smoothly.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust -

damage may result.

IMPORTANT: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGtNE

GOVERNOR, WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER

ENGINE SPEED. OVERSPEEDING THE ENGINE ABOVE

THE FACTORY HIGH SPEED SETTING CAN BE

DANGEROUS. IF YOU THINK THE ENGINE-GOVERNED

HIGH SPEED NEEDS ADJUSTING, CONTACT YOUR

NEAREST AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER/

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 all dirt, greas e, 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 in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual).

Lubricate as shown in the Customer Responsibilities

section of this manual.

Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely

fastened. Inspect moving parts fordamage, breakage

and wear. Replace if necessary.

• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surface,_ 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

terminals.

•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 1S IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM

DEPOStTS 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.

• Drain the fuel tank.

• Start the engine and iet 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.

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in

minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor-

age. Add stabi!izer 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 allowthe stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do

not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fue! 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

• Remove spark plug(s).

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

cylinder(s).

• Turn ignition key to"START" position for afew seconds

to distribute oil.

•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.
