o Turn ignition key to "OFF" position and

remove key. Always remove key when

leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized

use.

° Never use choke to stop engine.

IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch

in any position other than "OFF" will cause

the battery to be discharged (dead).

NOTE: Under certain conditions when

tractor is standing idle with the engine run-

ning, hot engine exhaust gases may

cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate

this possibility, always stop engine when

stopping tractor on grass areas

,_CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-

pletely, as described above, before leaving

the operator's position; to empty grass

catcher, etc.

THROTTLE CONTROL

Always operate engine at full throttle

• Operating engine at less than full throt-

tle reduces the battery charging rate,,

• Full throttle offers the best bagging and

mower performance°

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD

The direction and speed of movement is

controlled by the gearshift lever,

° Start tractor with clutch/brake pedal

depressed and gearshift lever in neutral

(N) position.

° Move gearshift lever to desired posi-

tion.

,, Slowly release clutch/brake pedal to

start movement.

IMPORTANT: Bring tractor to a complete

stop before shifting or changing gears°

Failure to do so wilt shorten the useful life

of your transaxle

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

The position of the attachment lift lever

determines the cutting height,

o Grasp lift lever,,

o Press plunger with thumb and move

lever to desired position.

The cutting height range is approximate-

ly 1-1/2 to 4'L 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 cut to

approximately 2-1/2 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.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

° The engine in your tractor has been

shipped, from the factory, already filled

with summer weight oil

• Check engine oil with tractor on level

ground_

° Remove oil fill capldipstick and wipe

clean, reinsert the dipstick and screw

cap tight, wait for a few seconds,

remove and read oil level If necessary,

add oil until "FULL" mark on dipstick is

reached° Do not overfilL

o For cold "weather operation you should

change oil for easier starting (See "OIL

VISCOSITY CHART" in the Mainten-

ance section of this manual).

= To change engine oil, see the Mainten-

ance section in this manual

ADD GASOLINE

•Fill fuel 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 can be used within 30

days to assure fuel freshness.

IIVlPORTANT: When operating in tempera-

tures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean

winter grade gasoline to help insure good

cold weather starting.

,_WARNING: Experience indicates that

alcohol blended fuels (called gasohot 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 emp-

tied 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 informa-

tiono Never use engine or carburetor

cleaner products in the fuel tank or perma-

nent damage may occur°

,_kCAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank

filler neck. Do not overfill Wipe off any

spilled oil or fuel Do not store, spil! or use

gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE

When starting the engine for the first time

or if the engine has run out of fuel, it will

take extra cranking time to move fuel from

the tank to the engine°

o Sit on seat in operating position,

depress clutchlbrake pedal and set

parking brake°

o Place gear shift lever in neutral (N) posi-

tion_

o Move attachment clutch to "DISEN-

GAGED" position..

,Move throttle control to choke position..

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm

and cold starting procedures below..

• insert key into ignition and turn 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 the

engine does not start after several

attempts, move throttle control to fast

position, wait a few minutes and try

again_ If engine still does not start,

move the throttle control back to the

choke position and retry..

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F and

above)

When engine starts, move the throttle

control to the fast position,.

o 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)

o When engine starts, allow engine to run

with the throttle control in the choke

position until the engine runs roughly,

then move throttle control to fast posi-

tion,, This may require an engine warm-

up period from several seconds to sev-

eral minutes, depending on the temper-

atureo

° The attachments can also be used dur-

ing 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,,

LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual

o The left hand side of mower should be

used for' trimming°

o 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 cut-

ting.

o When mowing large areas, start by turn-

ing to the right so that clippings will dis-

charge away from shrubs, fences, drive-

ways, etc. After one or two rounds,

mow in the opposite direction making

left hand turns until finished

, If grass is extremely tall, it should be

mowed twice to reduce load and possi-

ble fire hazard from dried clippings.

Make first cut relatively high; the second

to the desired height,

o Do not rnow grass when it is wet. Wet

grass will plug mower and leave unde-

sirable clumps_ Allow grass to dry

before mowing.

oAlways operate engine at full throttle

when mowing to assure better mowing

performance and proper-discharge of

material,, Regulate ground speed by se-

lecting a low enough gear to give the

mower' the best cutting performance as

well as the quality of cut desired°

oWhen operating attachments, select a

ground speed that will suit the terrain

and give best performance of the at-

tachment being used.

balanced.

Care should be taken to keep the blade

balanced_ An unbalanced blade wilt cause

excessive vibration and eventual damage

to mower and engine_

° The blade can be sharpened with a file

or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt

to sharpen while it is on the mower.

°To check blade balance, you wilt need a

5/8" diameter steel bolt, pin, or acone

balancer. (When using a cone balancer,

follow the instructions supplied with bal-

ancer)o

NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing

blade_ The lobes of the center' hole may

appear to be centered, but are not.

oSlide blade onto an unthreaded portion

of the steel bolt or pin and hold the bolt

or pin parallel with the ground_ If blade

is balanced, it should remain in a hori-

zontal position if either end of the blade

moves downward, sharpen the heavy

end until the blade is balanced.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

NOTE: The carburetor on this engine is

low emission,, tt is equipped with an idle

fuel adjusting needle with a limiter cap,

which allows some adjustment within the

limits allowed by the CapiDo n0t _attempt

to remove the limiter cap. The limiter cap

cannot be removed without breaking the

adjusting needle.

The carburetor has been preset at the fac-

tory and adjustment should not be neces-

sary, However, minor adjustment may be

required to compensate for differences in

fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the

carburetor does need adjustment, proceed

as follows:

In general, turning idle mixture valve in

(clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to

the engine giving a leaner fuel/air mixture.

Turning the idle mixture valve out

(counterclockwise) increases the supply of

fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/air

mixture.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the needle valve

and the seat in carburetor may result if

screw is turned in too tight.

PRELIMINARY SETTING

o Air cleaner" assembly must be assem-

bled to the carburetor when making car-

buretor adjustments.

o Be sure the throttle control cable is

adjusted properly (see above).

FINAL SETTING

oStart engine and allow to warm for five

minutes° Make final adjustments with

engine running and shif*Jmotion control

positions. Release throttle lever°

ACCELERATION TEST

= Move throttle control lever from stow to

fast position. If engine hesitates or dies,

turn idle mixture valve out (counter-

clockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat test and

continue to adjust, if necessary, until

engine accelerates smoothly.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do

not adjust--damage may result.

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the

engine governor, which is factory set for

proper engine speed, overspeeding the

engine above the factory high speed set-

ting can be dangerous, if you think the

engine-governed high speed needs

adjusting, contact your nearest authorized

service center, which has proper equip-

ment to make any necessary adjustments.

spark. Allow the engine to coo! before

storing in any enclosure.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractor for winter

storage. This will allow you to clean it thor-

oughly. Remove all dirt, grease, leaves,

etc. Store in a clean, dry area.

o Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING"

in the Maintenance section of this man-

uat)o

- Inspect and replace belts, if necessary

(See belt replacement instructions in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual).,

o 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 sur-

faces; sand lightly before painting.

BATTERY

° Fully charge the battery for storage.

o After a period of time in storage, battery

may require recharging.

o 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 TERMI-

NALS" in the Maintenance section of

this manual).

° After cleaning, leave cables disconnect-

ed and place cables where they cannot

come in contact with battery terminals.

° If battery is removed from tractor for

storage, do not store battery directly on

concrete or damp surface&

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It 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 moisture

which leads to separation and formation of

acids during storage,

Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of

an engine while in storage°

o Drain the fuel tank.

o Start the engine and let it run until the

fuel lines and carburetor are empty,

o Never use engine or carburetor cleaner

products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur°

o Llse fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable

alternative in minimizing the formation of

fuel gum deposits during storage. Add sta-

bilizer 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 carbure-

tor. Do not drain the gas tank and carbure-
