TOWING
MENTS
CARTS
AND OTHER
IMPORTANT:
When operating in temperatures below 32°F(0°C),
use fresh,
clean winter grade gasoline to help
insure good cold weather starting.
AWARNING:
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 instructions for
additional information.
Never use engine
or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank or permanent damage may occur.
,_CAUTION:
Fill to bottom of gas tank
filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any
spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use
gasoline near an open flame.
ATTACH-
Tow only the attachments
that are
recommended
by and comply with
specifications
of the manufacturer
of your
tractor, Use common sense when towing.
Too heavy of a load, while on a slope, is
dangerous_ Tires can lose traction with
the ground and cause you to lose control

MOWING
TIPS
MULCHING
• Mower should be properly leveled for
best mowing performance°
See "TO
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 tractor.
This wilt 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 or two
rounds, mow in the opposite direction
making left hand turns until finished.
o If grass is extremely tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce 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.
Allow 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 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.
MOWING
TIPS
IMPORTANT:
For best performance,
keep mower housing free of built-up
grass and trash. Clean after each use.
° The special mulching blade will recut
the grass clippings many times and
reduce them in size so that as they fall
onto the lawn they will disperse into the
grass and not be noticed. Also, the
mulched grass will biodegrade
quickly
to provide nutrients for the lawn.
Always mulch with your highest engine
(blade) speed as this will provide the
best recutting action of the blades.
• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet.
Wet grass tends to form clumps and
interferes with the mulching action.
The best time to mow your lawn is the
early afternoon,
At this time the grass
has dried and the newly cut area will
not be exposed to the direct sun.
° For best results, adjust the mower
cutting height so that the mower cuts off
only the top one-third of the grass
blades. For extremely
heavy mulching,
reduce your width of cut on each pass
and mow slowly.
o Certain types of grass and grass
conditions may require that an area be
mulched a second time to completely
hide the clippings.
When doing a
second cut, mow across or perpendicular to the first cut path.
• Change your cutting pattern from week
to week. Mow north to south one week
then change to east to west the next
week. This will help prevent matting
and graining of the lawn.
