I. GENERAL OPERATION

•Read, understand, and follow all

instructions 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 before mowing. Stop machine

if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless abso-

lutely necessary. Always look down

and behind before and while backing.

• Be aware of the mower discharge

direction 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 turning.

• Never leave a running machine

unattended. Always turn off blades, set

parking brake, stop engine, and

remove keys before dismounting.

• Turn 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

unloading the machine into a trailer or

truck.

• Data indicates that operators, age 60

years and above, are involved in a

large percentage of riding mower-

related injuries. These operators

should evaluate their ability to operate

the riding mower safely enough to

protect themselves and others from

serious iniury.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to Io=

control and tipover accidents, whict"

result in severe injury or death. All s

require extra caution. Ifyou cannot ba

the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, c

mow it.

DO:

• Mow up and down slopes, not acr(

• Remove obstacles such as rocks,

limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps.

Uneven terrain could overturn the

machine. Tall grass can hide ob-

stacles.

• Use slow speed. Choose a low g_

so that you will not have to stop or

while on the slope.

•FoUow the manufacturer's recomn

dations for wheel weights or counl

weights to improve stability.

• Use extra care with grass catcher.=

other attachments. These can ch_.

the stability of the machine.

• Keep all movement on the slopes,

and gradual. Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a sic;

tires lose fraction, disengage the

blades and proceed slowly etraigh

down the slope.

DO NOT:

•Do not turn on slopes unless nec_

sary, and then, turn slowly and grs

ally downhill, if possible.

•Do not mow near drop-offs, ditche=

embankments. The mower could

suddenly rum over if a wheel is ov

the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an

caves In.

•Do not mow on wet grass. Reduc_

traction could cause sliding.

•Do not try to stabilize the machin_

putting your foot on the ground.

•Do not use grass catcher on steep

slopes.

IlL 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 adult.

• Be alert and turn machine off if children

enter the area.

• Be|ore 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

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects

that may obscure vision.

other debris bui_d-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 parts or

allow objects to be thrown. Frequently

check components and replace with

manufacturer's recommended parts,

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 or children

even with the blades off.

• Do not mow in reverse unless abso-

lutely 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 turn machine off if children

enter the area.

• Before and when backing, look behind

and down for small children.

• Mow up and down slopes (15 _'Max),

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.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the

blades and proceed slowly straight

down the slope.

•If machine stops while going uphill,

disengage blades, shift into reverse

and back down slowly.

• Do not turn on slopes unless neces-

sary, and then, turn slowly and gradu-

ally downhill, if possible.

• Move gearshift lever to neutral (N)

position.

ENGINE -

• Move throttle control to slow position.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to

slow position and allowing engine to idle

before stopping may cause engine to

"backfire".

•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

running, hot engine exhaust gases may

cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate

this possibility, always stop engine when

stopping tractor on grass areas.

completely, as aescneeo aeove, eelore

leaving the operatoCs position; to empty

grass catcher, etc.

THROTTLE CONTROL

Always operate engine at full throttle.

• Operating engine at less than full

throttle reduces the battery charging

rate.

• Full throttle offers the best bagging and

mower performance.

CHOKE CONTROL

Use choke control whenever you are

starting 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 gearshift lever,

1, Start tractor with clutch/brake pedal

depressed and gearshift lever in

neutral (N) position.

2. Move gearshift and range shift levers

to desired position.

3. Slowly release clutch/brake pedal to

start movement.

IMPORTANT: Bring tractor to a complete

stop before shifting or changing gears.

Failure to do so will shorten the useful life

of your transaxle.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

The cutting height is controlted by turning

the height adjustment knob in desired

direction.

• Turn knob clockwise (_',i) to raise

cutting height.

• Turn knob counterclockwise (If_) to

lower cutting height.

The cutting height range is approximately

1-1/2" to 4-1/2". 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.

•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.

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.

NOTE: Adjust gauge wheels with tractor

on a flat level surface.

1. AdjusPmower to desired cutting height

(See "TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING

HEIGHT" in the Operation section of

this manual).

2. With mower in desired height of cut

position, gauge wheels should be

assembled so they are slightly off the

ground• Install gauge wheel in appro-

priate hole with shoulder bolt, 3/8

washer, and 3/8-16 Iocknut and tighten

securely.

3. Repeat for opposite side installing

gauge wheel in same adjustment hole•

position.

•Do not push or tow tractor at more than

five (5) MPH.

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.).

TOWINGCARTSANDOTHERAT-

TACHMENTS

Towonlytheattachments that are recom-

mended 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, isdangerous. Tiros

can lose traction withthe ground and cause

you to lose control of your tractor.

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.

1. Check engine oil with tractor on level

ground.

2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe

clean, reinsert the dipstick and push it

all the way down into the tube, wait for

afew seconds, remove and road oil

level. If necessary, 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 Mainte-

nance section of this manual).

•To change engine oil, see the Mainte-

nance 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 depos-

its and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil

with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quanti-

ties that can be used within 30 days to

assure fuel freshness.

IMPORTANT: When operating in tempera-

turos below 32°F(O°C), use fresh, clean

winter grade gasoline to help insure good

,_weather starting.

ARNING: 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 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 informa-

tion. Never use engine orcarburotorcleaner

products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur. 17

_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.

TO START ENGINE

When startingthe enginefor the firsttime orif

the enginehas run out of fuel, itw_lltake extra

crankingtime to move fuel fromthe tankto

the engtne.

1, Sit on seat in operating position,

depress clutch/brake pedal and set

parking brake.

2. Place gear shift lever in neutral (N)

position.

3. Move attachment clutch to "DISEN-

GAGED" position.

4. Move throttle control to fast position

5. Pull choke control out 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.

6. 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, 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)

7. 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 slightly 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°F and

below)

7. 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 slightly 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.

• The attachments can be used during

the engine warm-up period and may

require the choke control be pulled out

slightly.

NOTE: If at ahighaltitude(above3000 feet)

or in cold temperatures (below 32 F) the

carburetorfuel mixture may need to be

adjustedfor best engine performance. See

"TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" inthe Service

and Adjustments sectionof thismanual.

MOWING TIPS

•Tire chains cannot be used when the

mower housing is attached to 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.

• Drive 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

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

(See Fig. X1 ).

•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 discharge of

material. Regulate ground speed by

selecting 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.

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 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 biodegrede 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 (See Fig. X2). For extremely

heavy mulching, reduce your width of

cut on each pass and mow slowly.

•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 perpendicu-

lar 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.

TO SHARPEN BLADE

NOTE: We do not recommend sharpen-

ing 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 grinding wheel. Do not

attempt to sharpen while on the

mower.

•To check blade balance, you will need

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

cone balancer. (When using a cone

balancer, follow the instructions

supplied with balancer.)

NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing

blade. The lobes of the center hole may

appear to be centered, but are not.

•Slide blade on to 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 horizontal position. If either end of

the blade moves downward, sharpen

the heavy end until the blade is

balanced.

FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT

IMPORTANT: DECK MUST BE LEVEL

SIDE-TO-SIDE. If the following front-to-

back adjustment is necessary, be sure to

adjust both front links equally so mower

will stay level side-to-side.

To obtain the best cutting results, the

mower housing should be adjusted so

the front is approximately 1/8" to 1/2"

lower than the rear when the mower is in

its highest position.

Check adjustment on right side of tractor.

Measure distance "F" directly in front of

and behind the mandrel at bottom edge

of mower housing as shown.

loosen casing clamp screw and move

choke cable until choke is completely

closed. Tighten casing clamp screw

securely.

4. Reassemble air cleaner.

Closed for Full

Choke

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

The carburetor has been present at the

factory and adjustment should not be

necessary. 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 the adjusting needles

In (clockwise) decreases the supply of

fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/air

mixture. Turning the adjusting needles oul

(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 in too tight,

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

1. Be sure you have a clean air filter, an€

the throttle control cable is adjusted

properly (see "TO ADJUST

THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE" in the

Service and Adjustments section of

this manual).

2. With engine off turn idle fuel adjusting

needle In (clockwise) closing it finger

tight and then tum out (counterclock-

wise) 1tum.

FINAL SETTING -

1. Start engine and allow to warm for five

minutes. Make final adjustments with

engine running and shift/motion

control lever in neutral (N) position.

NOTE: The high idle is set at the factory

and cannot be adjusted.

2. Idle speed settina - 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.

3. Idle fuel needle setting - With throttle

control lever in slow position, turn idle

fuel adjusting needle in (clockwise)

until engine speed decreases and

then turn out (counterclockwise)

approximately 3/4 turn to obtain the

best low speed performance.

4. Recheck idle speed, Readjust if

necessary.

ACCELERATION TEST-

5. Move throttle control lever from slow to

fast position. If engine hesitates or

dies, turn idle fuel adjusting needle

out (counterclockwise) 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

setting can be dangerous. If you think the

engine-govemed high speed needs

adjusting, contact your nearest autho-

rized service center/department, which

has proper equipment and experience to

make any necessary adjustments.

Immediately prepare your tractor for

storage at end of season or if 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 thoroughly,

remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store

in a clean, dry area.

1. Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING"

in the Maintenance section of this

manual).

2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary

(See belt replacement instructions in

the Service and Adjustments section

of this manual).

3. Lubricate as shown in the Mainte-

naf_ce section of this manual.

4. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws

are securely fastened. Inspect moving

parts for damage, breakage and wear.

Replace if necessary.

5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint

surfaces; 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 TERMI-

NALS" in the Maintenance section of

this manual).

•After cleaning, leave cables discon-

nected 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 deposites from forming in essential

fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel

hose, or tank during storage. Also,

experience indicates that alcohol

blendedfuels (called gasohol or using

ethanolor methanol)can attractmoisture

whichleads to separationand formation of

acidsduringstorage.Acidicgas can

damagethe fuel systemof and engine

while in storage.

1. Drainthe fuel tank.

2. Startthe engineand let it run untilthe

fuel lines and carburetorare empty.

•Never use engine or carburetorcleaner

productsin the fuel tank orpermanent

damage may occur.

•Use fresh fuel nextseason.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizeris an acceptable

alternativein minimizingthe formation of

fuel gum depositsduringstorage. Add

stabilizerto gasolinein fuel tank or storage

container,Alwaysfollow the mix ratio

found on stabilizercontainer, Run engine

at least 10 minutesafter addingstabilizer

to allowthe stabilizerto reachthe carbure-

tor. Do notdrainthe gas tank and carbure-::

tor if usingfuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (withenginewarm) and replace

with cleanengineoil. (See "ENGINE"in

the Maintenancesectionof this manual).

CYLINDER(S)

1. Remove spark plug(s).

2. Pour one ounce of oil through spark

plug hole(s) into cylinder(s).

3. Turn ignition key to =START" position

for a few seconds to distribute oil.

4. 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 r_tain

moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic

cannot breathe which allows condensa-

tion to form and will cause your tractor to

rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover tractor while

engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
