GENERAL OPERATION

•Read, understand, and follow all instruc-

tions in the manual and on the machine

before starting.

•Only allow responsible adults, who are

familiar with the instructions,to operate

the machine.

•Clear the area of objects such as rocks,

toys, wire, etc., which could be picked

up and thrown by the blade.

•Be sure the area is clear of other people

befOr_ mowing. Stop machine if anyone

enters the area.

•Never carry passengers.

•Do not mow in reverse unless absolute-

ly necessary. Always look down.and

behind before and while backing:

•Be aware of the mower discharge direc-

tion and do not point it at anyone. Do

not operate the mower without either

the entire grass catcher or the guard in

place.

•Slow down before tuming.

•Never leave arunning machine unat-

tended. Always turn off blades, set park-

ing brake, stop engine, and remove

keys before dismounting.

•Tum off blades when not mowing.

•Stop engine before removing grass

catcher or unclogging chute.

•Mow only in daylight or good artificial

light.

•Do not operate the machine while under

the influence of alcohol or drugs.

•Watch for traffic when operating near or

crossing roadways.

•Use extra care when loading or unload-

ing the machine into a trailer or truck.

SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to Ioss-

of-contrel and tipover accidents, which

can result in severe injury or death. All

slopes require extra caution. If you cannot

back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on

it, do not mow it.

DO:

•Mow up and down slopes, not across.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

•Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven

terrain could overturn the machine. Tall

grass can hide obstacles.

•Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so

that you will not have to stop or shift

while on the slope.

•Follow the manufacturer's recommen-

dations for wheel weights or counter-

weights to improve stability.

•Use extra care with grass catchers or

other attachments. These can change

the stability of the machine.

•Keep all movement on the slopes slow

and gradual. Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.

•Avoid starting or stopping on aslope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the blades

and proceed slowly straight down the

slope.

DO NOT:

•Do nottum on slopes unless necessary,

and then, tum slowly and gradually

downhill, if possible.

•Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or

embankments. The mower could sud-

denly turn over if a wheel is over the

edge of a cliffor ditch, or if an edge

caves in.

•Do-not mow on wet grass. Reduced

traction could cause sliding.

•Do nottry to stabilize the machine by

puttingyour foot on the ground.

•Do not use grass catcher on steep

slopes.

CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator

is not alert to the presence of children.

Children are often attracted to the

machine and the mowing activity. Never

assume that children will remain where

you last saw them.

•Keep children out of the mowing area

and under the watchful care of another

responsible adulL

•Be alert and tum machine off if children

enter the area.

•Before and when backing, look behind

and down for small children.

•Never carry children. They may fall off

and be seriously injured or interfere with

safe machine operation.

•Never allow children to operate the

machine.

•Use extra care when approaching blind

comers, shrubs, trees, or other objects

that may obscure vision.

SERVICE

•Use extra care in handling gasoline and

other fuels. They are flammable and

vapors are explosive.

Use only an approved container.

Never remove gas cap or add fuel

with the engine running. Allow en-

gine to cool before refueling. Do not

smoke.

Never refuel the machine indoors.

Never store the machine or fuel

container inside where there is an

open flame, such as a water heater.

•Never run a machine inside a closed

area.

•Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade

attachment bolts, tight and keep equip-

ment in good condition.

_Never tamper with safety devices.

Check their proper operation regularly.

Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or

other debris build-up. Clean oil or fuel

spillage. Allow machine to cool before

'storing.

•Stop and inspect the equipment if you

strike an object. Repair, if necessary,

before restarting.

•Never make adjustments or repairs with

the engine running.

•Grass catcher components are subject

to wear, damage, and deterioration,

which could expose moving pads or

allow objects to be thrown. Frequently

- check components and replace with

manufacturer's recommended pads,

when necessary.

•Mower blades are sharp and can cut.

Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and

use extra caution when servicing them.

•Check brake operation frequently.

Adjust and service as required.

•Be sure the area is clear of other people

before mowing. Stop machine if anyone

enters the area.

•Never carry passengers.

•Do not mow in reverse unless absolute-

ly necessary. Always look down and

behind before and while backing.

•Never carry children. They may fall off

and be seriously injured or interfere with

safe machine operation.

•Keep children out of the mowing area

and under the watchful care of another

responsible adult.

•Be alert and tum machine off if children

IMPORTANT: The motion control lever

does not retum to neutral (N) position

when the clutch/brake pedal ksdepressed.

ENGINE -

•Move throttle'control to slow position.

NOT "P.:_.F-allure to move throttle control to

slow position and allowing engine to idle

before stopping may cause engine to

"backfire'.

Tum ignition key to "OFF" position and

remove key. Always remove key when

leaving tractor to prevent unauthodzed

use.

•Never use choke to stop engine.

IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch

in any position other than =OFF" will cause

the battery to be dishcarged (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.

ACAUTION: Always stop tractor com-

pletely, as descdbed above, before leaving

the operator's position; to empty grass

catcher, etc.

THRO'n'LE 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.

CHOKE CONTROL

Use choke control whenever you are start-

ing a cold engine. Do not use to start a

warm engine.

•To engage choke control, pull knob out..

Slowly push knob in to disengage.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD

The direction and speed of movement is

controlled by the motion control lever.

•Start tractor with motion control lever in

neutral (N) position.

•Release parking brake and clutch_rake

pedal.

•Slowly move motion control lever to

desired position.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

The cutting height is controlled by turn-

ing the height adjustment knob in

desired direction.

•Tum knob clockwise (0) to raise cutting

•/urn Knoe counterclockwise (0)to

lower cutting height.

The cutting height range is approximately

1-1/2" to 4-1/2". The heights are mea-

sured from the ground to the blade tip with

the engine not running. These heights are

approximateandmayvarydepending

uponsoilconditions,heightof grassand

typesof grassbeingmowed.

•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.

•For best cutting performance, grass

over 6 inches in height should be

mowed twice. Make the first cut rela-

tively high; the second to desired height.

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted

when they are slightly off the ground when

mower is at the desired cutting height in

operating position. Gauge wheels then

keep the deck in proper position to help

prevent scalping in most terrain condi-

tions.

•Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a

flat level surface.

•Adjust mower to desired cutting height

(See =TO ADJUST MOWER CUFFING

HEIGHT" in the Operation section of

this manual).

•With mower in desired height of cut po-

sition, gauge wheels should be assem-

bled so they are slightly off the ground.

Install gauge wheel in appropriate hole

with shoulder bolt, 3/8 washer, and 3/8-

16 Iocknut and tighten securely.

•Repeat for opposite side installing

gauge wheel in same adjustment hole.

NOTE: To protect hood from damage

when transporting your tractor on a truck

or a trailer, be sure hood is closed and

secured to tractor. Use an appropriate

means of tying hood to tractor (rope, cord,

etc.).

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER

A'I-rACHMENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recom-

mendedby 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 of your tractor.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

iThe engine in your tractor has been

shipped, from the factory, already filled

with summer weight oil.

Check engine oil with tractor on level

ground.

• Unthread and remove oil fill cap/dip

stick; wipe oil off. Reinsert the dipstick

into the tube and rest oil fill cap on the

tube. Do not thread the cap onto the

tube. Remove and read oil level. If nec-

essary, add oil until =FULL" mark on

dipstick 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 Customer

Responsibilities 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

_Tx oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in

quantities that can be used within 30

days to assure fuel freshness.

IMPORTANT: When operating in tempera-

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

winter grade gasoline to help insure good

_d weather starting.

WARNING: Experience indicates that

alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or

usingethanol or methanol) can attract

moisture which leads to separation and

formation of acids duringstorage. 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 Instructionsfor additional

information. Never use engine or

carburetor cleaner productsin the fuel

_k or permanent damage may occur.

CAUTION: Fillto bottom of gas tank

filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any

spilled oil or fuel. Do notstore, spill or use

gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE

When startingthe engine for the firsttime

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

take extra cranking time to move fuel from

the tank to the engine.

•Be sure freewheel controlis in the

transmissionengaged position.

•Sit on seat in operating position,

depress clutch/brake pedal and set

parking brake.

•Place motion control lever in neutral (N)

position.

•Move attachment clutch to =DISEN-

GAGED" position.

•Move throttle controlto fast position

•Pull choke controlout for a cold engine

start attempt. For a warm engine start

attempt the choke control may not be

needed.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and

cold starting procedures below.

•Insert key into ignition and tum 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, push choke control in, wait a

few minutes and try again. If engine still

does not start, pull the choke control out

and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F

AND ABOVE)

•When engine starts, slowly push choke

control in until the engine begins to run

smoothly. If the engine starts to run

roughly, pull the choke control out slight-

ly for a few seconds and then continue

to push the control in slowly.

•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 ° FAND

BELOW)

•When engine starts, slowly push choke

control in until the engine begins to run

smoothly. Continue to push the choke

control in small steps allowing the

engine to accept small changes in

speed and load, until the choke control

is fully in. If the engine starts to run

roughly, pull the choke control out slight-

ly for afew seconds and then continue

to push the control in slowly. This may

require an engine warm-up period from

several seconds to several minutes,

depending on the temperature.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM-UP

•Before driving the unit in cold weather,

the transmission should be warmed up

as follows:

•Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

•Place the motion control lever in neu-

tral. Release the parking brake and

let the clutch/brake slowly return to

operating position.

•Allow one minute for transmission to

warm up. This can be done dudng the

engine warm up period.

•The-attachments can be used during

the engine warm-up period after the

transmission has been warmed up and

may require the choke control be pulled

out slightly.

NOTE: Ahigh 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 "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual.

PURGE TRANSMISSION

_,CAUTION: Never engage or disen-

gage freewheel lever while the engine is

running.

To ensure proper operation and perfor-

mance, it is recommended that the trans-

mission be purged before operating tractor

for the firsttime. This procedure will

remove any trapped air inside the trans-

mission which may have developed during

shipping of your tractor.

IMPORTANT: Should your transmission

require removeal for service or replace-

ment, it should be purged after reinstalla-

tion before operating the tractor.

•Place tractor safely on level surface with

•engine off and parking brake set.

Disengage transmission by placing free-

wheel control in freewheeling position

(See =TOTRANSPORT" in this section

of manual).

•Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine.

After the engine is running, move throt-

tle controlto slow position.With motion

controllever in neutral (N) position,

slowly disengage clutch/brake pedal.

•Move motion control lever to full forward

_,lositionand hold for five (5) seconds.

eve lever to full reverse position and

hold for five (5) seconds. Repeat this

procedure three (3) times.

NOTE: During this procedure there will be

no movement of drive wheels. The air is

being removed from hydraulic drive sys-

tem.

•Move motion control lever to neutral (N)

position. Shut oft engine and set parking

brake.

•Engage transmission by placing free-

whee/control in driving position(See

=TOTRANSPORT" in this section of

manual).

•Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine.

After the engine is running,move throt-

tle controlto half (1/2) speed. With

motion control lever in neutral (N)posi-

tion, slowly disengage clutch/brake

pedal.

•Slow_ move motion control lever for-

ward, after the tractor moves approxi-

mately five (5) feet, slowly move motion

control lever to reverse position.After

the tractor moves approximately five (5)

feet return the motion controllever to

the neutral (N) position. Repeat this pro-

cedure with the motion controllever

three (3) times.

•Your tractor is now purged and now

ready for normal operation.

MOWING TIPS

• Tirechainscannotbeusedwhenthe

mowerhousingis attachedto tractor.

•Mower should be properly leveled for

best mowing performance. See "TO

LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual.

-= The left hand side of mower should be

used for trimming.

•Ddve so that clippings are discharged

onto the area that has been cut. Have

the cut area to the right of the tractor.

This will result in a more even distribu-

tion of clippings and more uniform cut-

ting.

•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.

•Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet

grass will plug mower and leave unde-

sirable clumps. Allow grass to dry

before mowing.

•Always operate engine at full throttle

when mowing to assure better mowing

performance and proper discharge of

matedal. 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°

•When operating attachments, select a

ground speed that will suit the terrain

and give best performance of the at-

tachment being used.

MULCHING 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 clippin_s 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 recut-

ting action of the blades.

•Avoid cuffing 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 eady

aftemoon. 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 cut-

ting 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.

•Certain types of grass and grass condi-

tions may require that an area be

mulched asecond time to completely

hide the clippings. When doing a sec-

ond cut, mow across or perpendicular to

the first cut path.

•Change your cutting pattem 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.

TO SHARPEN BLADE

NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening

blade, but if you do, be sure the blade is

balanced.

Care should be taken to keep the blade

balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause

excessive vibration and eventual damage

to mower and engine.

•The blade can be sharpened with a file

or on a gdnding wheel. Do not attempt

to sharpen while it is on the mower.

•To check blade balance, you will need a

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

balancer. (When using a cone balancer,

follow the instructions supplied with bal-

ancer).

•Slide 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 hod-

zontal position. If either end of the blade

moves downward, sharpen the heavy

end until the blade is balanced.

NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing

blade. The lobes of the center hole may

TO ADJUST CHOKE CONTROL

The choke control has been preset at the

factory and adjustment should not be nec-

essary, check adjustment as described

below before loosening cable. If adjust-

ment is necessary, proceed as follows:

• With engine not running, move choke

control (located on dash panel) to full

- choke position.

• Remove air cleaner cover, filterand car-

tridge plate to expose carburetor choke

(See =AIR FILTER" in the Customer Re-

sponsibilitiessection of this manual).

• Choke should be closed. If it isnot,

loosen casing clamp screw and move

choke cable until choke is completely

closed. Tighten casing clamp screw se-

curely.

• Reassemble air cleaner.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

The carburetor has been present at the

factory and adjustment should not be nec-

essary. However, minor adjustment may

be required to compensate for differences

in fuel, temperature, altitudeor load. If the

carburetor does need adjustment, proceed

as follows:

In general, tuming the adjusting needles

in (clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel

to the engine giving aleaner fuel/air mix-

ture. Turning the adjusting needles out

(counterclockwise) increases the supply of

fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/air

mixture.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the needles

and the seats in carburetor may result if

screw is turned intoo tight.

Choke

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

•Be sure you have a clean air filter, and

the throttle control cable is adjusted

properly (see "TO ADJUST THRO'I-ILE

CONTROL CABLE" in the Service and

Adjustments section of this manual).

• With engine off tum idle fuel adjusting

needle in (clockwise) closing it finger

tight and then turn out (counterclock-

wise) 1 tum.

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.

• The high idle is set at the factory and

cannot be adjusted.

•Idle soeed settino - With throttle control

lever in slow position, engine should

idle at 1200 RPM. If engine idles too

slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting

screw in or out until correct idle is

attained.

•Idle fuel needle settin(] -With throttle

control lever in slow position, tum idle

fuel adjusting needle in (clockwise) until

engine speed decreases and then tum

out (counterclockwise) approximately

3/4 turn to obtain the best low speed

performance.

•Recheck idle speed. Readjust if neces-

sary.

ACCELERATION TEST -

•Move throttle control lever from slow to

fast position. If engine hesitates or dies,

tum idle fuel adjusting needle out

(countemlockwise) 1/8 tum. Repeat test

and continue to adjust, if necessary,

until engine accelerates smoothly.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do

not adjust-damage may resulL

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the

engine governor, which is factory set for

proper engine speed. Overspeeding the

engine above the facory high speed set-

ting can be dangerous. If yo u think the

engine-govemed high speed needs

adjusting, contact your nearest authorized

service center/department, which has

proper equipment and experience to make

any necessary adjustments.

Immediately prepare your tractor for stor-

age at the end of the season or if the trac-

tor will not be used for 30 days or more.

AcAUTION: Never store the tractorwith

gasoline in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open flame or

spark. Allow the engine to cool before stor-

ing 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.

• Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING"

in the Maintenance section of this man-

ual).

•Inspect and replace belts, if necessary

(See belt replacement instructions in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual).

•Lubdcate 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.

•After a period of time in storage, battery

may require recharging.

•To help prevent corrosion and power

leakage dudng long pedods of storage,

battery cables should be disconnected

and battery cleaned thoroughly (see

='1"0 CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMI-

NALS" in the Maintenance section of

thismanual).

•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 surfaces.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent

gum deposits from forming in essential

fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel

filter,,_Juelhose, or tank dudng storage.

Also, expodence 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 dam-

age the fuel system of an engine while in

storage.

•Drain the fuel tank.

•Start the engine and let 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

altemative 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-

tor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace

with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in

the Maintenance section of this manual).

CYLINDERS

•Remove spark plug(s).

•Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug

hole(s) into cylinder(s).

•Turn ignitionkey to "START" positionfor

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 it 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 asuitable protec-

tive cover that does not retain moisture.

Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot

breathe, which allows condensation to

form and cause your tractor to rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover tractor while

engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
