CUTTING

The position of the attachment
determines the cutting height.

The cutting height range isapproximately1"
to 4", The heights are measured from the
groundtothe bladetip withthe engine not running.These heights are approximate andmay
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" during the cool season and to over 3" 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 offthe ground when mower
is at the desired cutting height in operating
position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck
Jn proper position to help prevent scalping
in most terrain conditions.
NOTE: Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on
a flat level surface,
1. Adjust mower to desired cutting height
(See 'q-O ADJUST MOWER CUTTING
HEIGHT" in this section of manual),
2. With mower in desired height ofcut position, gauge wheels should be assembled
so they are slightly offthe ground. Install
gauge wheel in appropriate hole. Tighten
securely,
3, Repeat for all, installing gauge wheel in

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The engine inyour 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 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.
• For cold weather operation you should
change oil for easier starting (See the oil
viscosity chart in the Maintenance section
of this manual).
• Tochange engine oil, see the Maintenance
section in this manual.
, Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do
not overfill. 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 fife). Do not mix oil with
gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that
can be used within 30 days to assure fuel
freshness.
_IbCAUTION:
Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near
an open flame.
IMPORTANT:
When operating in temperatures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean
winter grade gasoline to help insure good
cold weather starting.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation
andformation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. Toavoid 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 nextseason. See Storage Instructions for additional information. Never use
engine or carburetor cleaner products inthe
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur,
TO START ENGINE
When starting the engine for the first time or
ff the engine has run out of fuel, it will take
extra cranking time to move fuel from the
tank to the engine.
1. Be sure freewheel control isin thetransmission engaged position.
2. Sit on seat in operating position, depress
brake pedal and set parking brake.
3. Move attachment clutch to disengaged
position.
4. Move throttle control to choke position.
NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and
cold starting procedures below.
5. 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 stitl
does not start, move the throttle control
back to the choke position and retry.
WARM WEATHER STARTING (50°F/10°C)
and above)
6. When engine starts, move the throttle
control to the fast position.
• The attachments and ground drive can
now be used. Ifthe 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(10°C)
and below)
6. When enginestarts, leavethrottlecontrol
in choke position until engine warms up
and begins to run roughly. Once rough
• running begins, immediately move the
throttle controlto the fast position. Engine
warm-up may take from several seconds
to several minutes (the colder the temperature, the longer the warm-up).
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP
Before driving the unit in cold weather, the
transmission should be warmed up as follows:
t, Be sure the tractor is on level ground.
2. Release the parking brake and let the
brake slowly return to operating position.
3. Allow one minute for transmission to
warm up. This can be done during
the engine warm up period.
• The attachments can also be used during the engine warm-up period after the
transmission has been warmed up.
NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet)
or in cold temperatures (below 32°F/0_C)
the carburetor fuel mixture may need to be
adjusted for best engine performance (see
"TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" intheService
and Adjustments section of this manual).

PURGE TRANSMISSION
,_CAUTION:
Neverengage ordisengage
freewheel lever while the engine is running.
Toensure proper operation and performance,
it is recommended that the transmission be
purged before operating tractor for the first
time. This procedure will remove any trapped
air inside the transmission which may have
developed during shipping of your tractor.
IMPORTANT: Should your transmission
require removal for service or replacement,
itshould be purged after reinstallation before
operating the tractor.
I.

Place tractor safely on a level surface that is clear of objects and open - with
engine off and parking brake set.
2. Disengage transmission by placing
freewheel control indisengaged position
(See "TO TRANSPORT" in this section
of manual).
3. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine.
After theengine is running, movethrottte
control to slow position. Disengage parking brake.
,_I, CAUTION: At any time, during step 4,
there may be movement of the drive wheels.
4. Depress forward drive pedal to full forward position and hold forfive (5)seconds
and release pedal. Depress reverse drive
pedal to full reverse position and hold
for five (5) seconds and release pedal.
Repeat this procedure three (3) times.
5. Shutoff engine and set parking brake.
6. Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in engaged position (See

After the engine is running, movethrottle
control to half (1/2) speed. Disengage
parking brake.
8. Drive tractor forward for approximately
five feet then backwards for five feet.
Repeat this driving procedure three
times.
Your transmission is now purged and now
ready for normal operation.

MOWING TIPS
• Tire chains cannot be used when the
mower housing is attached to tractor.
o Mower should be properlyleveled for best
mowing performance. See "TO LEVEL
MOWER HOUS]NG" in the Service and
Adjustments section of this manual,
o The left hand side of mower should be
used for trimming.
- Drive so that clippings aredischarged onto
the areathat has already been cut. Have
the cut area to the right ofthe tractor, This
will result in a more even distribution of
clippings and more uniform cutting.
o When mowing targe areas, start byturning
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.

,,_,

,,,, ,,,

• 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 wilt 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 speed 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.

ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent
gum depositsfrom forming in essentialfuel
system partssuch as carburetor,fuel hose,
ortankduringstorage,Also, alcoholblended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisturewhich leads
to separation andformation of acids during
storage, Acidic gas can damage the rue[
system of an engine while in storage.
, Empty the fuel tank by startingthe engine
and letting 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.
o Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of rue!
gumdepositsduring storage. Add stabilizer
to gasoline infuel tank or storage container.
Always foUowthe mixratio found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 10 minutes
after addingstabilizertoaliowthe stabilizerto
reachthe carburetor. Do not emptythe gas
tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

de1 aceite SAE seg_n su temperatura de operaci6n esperada.
AVlSO: A pesar de que los aceites de multiviscosidad (5W30, 10W30, etc.) mejoran el arranque
en clima frlo, estos aceites de multiviscosidad van
a aumentar el consume de aceite cuando se usan
en temperaturas sobre 32° F (0° C). Revise el
niveI del aceite del motor m__sa menudo, para
evitar un posible da_o en el motor, debido a que
no tiene suficiente aceite.
Cambie el aceite despu_s de 50 horas de operaci6n o per Io menos una vez al aSo si el tractor
se utiliza menos 50 betas el aSo.
Revise el nivel del aceite deI c&rter antes de arrancar el motor y despu_s de cada echo (8) horas

MOTOR
SISTEMA DE COMBUSTIBLE
IMPORTANTE: Es important evitar que se
forman depositos de goma en partes fundamentales del sistema de combus-tible tales
come el carburador, el filtro del combustible,
la manguera deI combustibles mezclados con
alcohol (conocido come gasohol o que tienen
etanol o metanoI) pueden atraer humedad, Io
_]ue conduce a Ia separaci6n y a Ia formaci6n
e acudos durante eiaimacenamiento. La gaso66

lina acidica puede daSar el sistema de combustib{e de un motor durante el periodo de almaoenamiento,
• Vaciar el dep6sito del carburanta poniendo en
mamhael motor ydej&ndolo funcionar hasta que
el carburante termine el carburador est_ vacio.
• Nunca use los productos para Iimpieza del
carburador o det motor en el estanque de
combustible pues se pueden producir daSos
permanentes.
• Use combustible nuevo la pr6xima
temporada.
AVISO: E! estabiIizador de combustib]e es una
alternativa aceptabfe para reducir a un minimo
la formaci6n de dep6sitos de goma en el combustible durante el per{ode de almacenamiento.
Agregue estabilizador a la gasolina en el estanque de combustible o en el envase para eJ
almacenamiento. Siempre siga la proporci6n de
mezcla que se encuentra en el envase del estabilizador. Haga funcionar el motor per Io menos
10 minutes despuL_sde agregar el estabilizador,
para permitir que _ste Ilegue al carburador. No
vaciar la gasoIina de[ estanque de gasoIina y el
carburador si se est& usando estabitizador de
