•Do not operate the machinewhile underthe influenceof

alcoholor drugs,

Watchfortrafficwhenoperatingnearorcrossingroadways.

Use extracare whenloadingor unloadingthe machineinto

a trailerortruck.

IL SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover

accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes

require extra caution, ifyou cannot back up the slope or ifyou feel

uneasy on it, do not mow it.

DO:

Mow up and down elopes, 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 slowspeed. Choose alow gear so that you will not have

to stop or shift while on the slope,

•Follow the manufacturer's recom_nandations for wheel

weights or counterweights 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 slowand gradual Do not

make sudden changes in speed or direction.

•Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,

disengage the blades and proceed slowly straightdown the

slope.

DO NOT:

• Donotturnonslopesunlessnocessary, andthen, tumslowly

and gradually downhill, if possible.

•Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The

mower could suddenly turn over if awheel is over the edge

of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause

sliding.

•Donottrytostabilizethemachinebyputtingyourfootonthe

ground.

•Do not t4segrass catcher on steep slopes. 2

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. Neverassume that children will remain

where you last saw them.

Keep childrenout of the mowing area and under the watchful

care of another responsible adult.

Be alert and turn machine off ifchildren 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 corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

IV. SERVICE

Use extra care inhandling 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 engine 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 nutsand bolts, especiatly blade attachment bolts, tight

and keep equipment in good condition.

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper

operation regulady.

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 towear, damage, and

deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow

objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and

replace with manufacturer's recommended pads, when nec-

essary.

•Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or

wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent

unauthorized use.

•Never use choke to stop eng!ne.

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.

pletely, as described above, before leav-

ing the operator's position; to empty

grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THROTrLE CONTROL (See Fig. 8)

Always operate engine at full throttle.

Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the

battery charging rate.

• Full throttle offers the best mower performance.

TO USE CHOKE CONTROL (See Fig. 8)

Use choke controlwhenever you are startinga 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

(See Fig. 8)

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/brake pedal,

•Slowly move motion control lever to desired position,

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

(See Fig. 8)

The cuttingheight is controlled by turningthe heightadjust-

ment knob in desired direction.

Turn knob clockwise (/'_) to raise cutting height.

•Turn knob counterclockwise (P'_) to lower cutting

height.

The cuttingheight range is approximately 1-1/2" to 4". 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.

OPERATION

For best cuttingperformance grass over 6 inches in

height should be mowed twice. Make the f rst cut

relatively high; the second to desired height.

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 9)

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly

off the ground when mower is at the desired cuttingheight

in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck in

proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain

conditions.

Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level surface.

Ad ust mower to desired cutting height (See "TO AD-

JUST MOWER CUTT NG HE GHT" n the Operat on

section of this manual).

With mower in desired height of cut position, gauge

wheels should be assembled 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.

OPERATION

FIG. 11

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 16)

• The engine inyour tractor has been shipped, fromthe

factory, already filled with summer weight oil.

• Check engine oil With tractor on level ground.

• Unthread and remove oil fill cap/dipstick; 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 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

Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Customer Responsibili-

ties 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.

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES

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 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 stor-

age 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 Instruc-

tions for additional information. Never use engine or

carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

I& AUTION: 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 (See Fig. 8)

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.

Be sure freewheel control is in the transmission en-

gaged 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 "DISENGAGED" position.

•Move throttle control to fast position

•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.

• Insert key intoignition and turn keyclockwise to "START"

position and release key as soon as engine starts. Do

not run starter continuously for more than fifteen sec-

onds 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, pullthe 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)

•When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until

the engine begins to run smoothly. Continue to push

the choke control insmall 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 a few

seconds and then continue to push the control in

slowly. This may require an engine warm-up period

from several seconds to several minutes, dependir_g

on the temperature.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

•Before driving the unit in cold weather, the transmis-

sion should be warmed up as follows:

•Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

•Place the motion control lever in neutral.

Release the parking brake and let the clutch/brake

slowly return to operating position.

•Allowone minute for transmission to warm up. This

can be done during the engine warm up period.

• The attachments can be used duringthe engine warm-

up period after the transmission has been warmed up

and may requira the choke control be pulled out slightly.

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. See "TO

ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual.

OPERATION

PURGE TRANSMISSION •

I_CAUTION:Neverengageordisengage I

freewheel lever while the engine is run-

ning.

To ensure proper operation and performance, it is recom-

mended 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 devel-

oped during shipping of your tractor.

IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOU R TRANSMISSION REQUIRE

REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT

SHOULD BE PURGED AFTER REINSTALLATION

BEFORE OPERATING THE TRACTOR.

•Place tractor safely on level surface withengine off and

parking brake set.

6 Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control

in freewheeling position (See "TO TRANSPORT" in

this section of manual).

• Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine

is running, move throttle control to slow position. With

motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly

disengage clutch/brake pedal.

• Move motion control lever to full forward position and

hold for five (5) seconds. Move lever to full reverse

position and hold for five (5) seconds. Repeat this

procedul'e three (3) times.

NOTE; During this procedure there will be no movement of

drive wheels. The air is being removed from hydraulic drive

system.

• Move motioncontrolleverto neutral(N) position. Shut-

off engine and set parking brake,

•Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in

driving position (See "TO TRANSPORT" in this section

of manual).

• Sitting inthetractor seat, start engine. Afterthe engine

is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed.

With motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly

disengage clutch/brake pedal.

• Slowly move motion control lever forward, after the

tractor moves approximately five (5) feet, slowly move

motion control lever to reverse position. After the

tractor moves approximately five (5) feet return the

motion control lever tothe neutral (N) position, Repeat

this procedure with the motion control lever three (3)

times.

•Your tractor is now purged and now ready for normal

operation.

MOWlNGTIPS

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.trim-

ming.

,, 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 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 (See Fig. 12).

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 dis-

charge of material. Regulate ground speed by select-

ing 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.

f

FIG. 12

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 clip-

pings 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.

Avoidcuttingyour 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 thistime the grass has dried and the newly cut area

will not be exposed to the direct sun.

For best results,adjust the _'nowercutting heightso that

the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass

blades (See Fig. 13). For extremely heavy mulching,

reduce your width of cut on each pass and mow slowly.

Certain types of grass and grass conditions may re-

quire that an area be mulched a second time to com-

pletely hide the clippings. When doing asecond cut,

mow across or perpendicular to the first cut path.

Change your cuttingpattern frem week to week. Mow

northto south one week then change to east towest the

next week. This will help prevent matting and graining

of the lawn.

STORAGE

ENGINEImmediately prepare your tractor for storage at the end of

the season or if the tractor will not be used for 30 days or

_ore.

ACAUTION: 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 pedod of time, clean it thor-

oughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a

clean, dry area.

•Clean entire tractor (See"CLEANING" inthe Customer

Responsibilities section of this manual).

•Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re-

placement instructions in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual).

• Lubricate as shown in the Customer Responsibilities

section of this manual.

• Be sure that all nuts, bolts end screws are securely

fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage

and wear. Replace if necessary.

• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand

lightly before painting.

BATTERY

•Fully charge the battery for storage.

• After a pedod 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 TERMINALS" in the Cus-

tomer Responsibilities section of this manual).

•After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place

cables where they cannot come incontact with battery

terminals.-

•If battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not

store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.

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.

• 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 fuelnext season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in

minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor-

age. Add stabilizer 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 carburetor. Do

not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine

oil. (See "ENGINE" in the Customer Responsibilities

section of this manual).

CYLINDER(S)

• Remove spark plug(s).

Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into

cylinder(s).

Tum ignitionkey to"START" positionfora few 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 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 protectionfrom dust and dirt.

•Cover your tractor with a suitable protective cover that

does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic

cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and

will cause your tractor to rust.

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE

AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
