For' healthier and better looking lawns, mow often and after moderate growth, o For best cutting performance, grass over6 inches in height should be mowed twice.. Make the first cut relatively high; the second to desired height_ NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to slow (.e_.) position and allowing engine to idle before stopping may cause engine to "backfire". ° Turn ignition key to "OFF" position and remove key.

DISCHARGE GUARD FIG. 7 TO OPERATE 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 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_ ON HILLS ,11 CAUTION: Do not drive up or down hills with slopes greater than 15 ° and do not drive across any slope. I I Choose the slowest speed before starting up or down hills, ,, Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.. ° If slowing is necessary, slower position ° If stopping is absolutely necessary, push clutch/brake pedal quickly to brake position and engage parking brake° Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase carbon and tend oxide deposits and reduce valve life),. move throttle control lever to 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. Move gearshift lever to 1st gear. Be sure you have allowed room for tractor to roll slightly as you restart movement.. 13 OPERATION TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 6) - 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. 8 ).. ° 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 When starting engine for the first time or if engine has run out of fuel, it will take extra cranking time to move fuel from the tank to the engine_ = Depress clutch/brake peda! and set parking brake. • Place gearshift lever in neutral (N) position. • Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" o Move throttle control lever to choke (N) position for cold engine start. For warm engine start, move throttle control to fast (._,) position.. ° Do not mow grass when it is wet.. Wet grass will plug mower and leave undesirable clumps. A]low grass to dry before mowing. ° 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 engine does not start after several attempts, move throttle control to fast (,€_) position, wait a few minutes and try again. ° 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 we]l as the quality of cut desired. ° When engine starts, move throttle control to desired position.. ° When operating attachments, select a ground speed that will suit the terrain and give best performance of the attachment being used. ° Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes before engaging drive or attachments.. position. 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° 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. = • FIG. 8 Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the machine,. This will result in a more even distribution of clippings and more uniform cutting. 14 CUSTOMER MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE RESPONS L ES ___o__ _*" AS YOU COMPLETE Check Brake Operation 6#4 644 Check Tire Pressure 6## v' Check for Loose Fasteners 6,. j Sharpen/Repiacetvlowe'r'BIades Lubrication Chart C T _"7 .............. 0 Check Battery Level/Recharge Clean Battery and Terminals v' a CheckTransaxle Cooling e,' Adjust ............... e,' V'5 V'oi Blade Beit(s) Tension Adjust Motion Drive Belt(s)Tension Check Engine 6#4, Oil Level e#; ......

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.. 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, o Clean entire tractor (See"CLEANING" in the Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).. . Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt replacement instructions in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual). o Lubricate as shown in the Customer Responsibilities 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 surfaces; sand lightly before painting.. ° Drain the fuel tank. o Start the engine and Iet it run until the fuel _ines 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 alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage,. 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).. BATTERY ° Fully charge the battery for storage° = After a period of time in storage, battery may require recharging., - Remove spark plug(s)_ = To help prevent corrosion and power leakage during long periods of storage, battery cables should be disconnected and battery cleaned tlloroug hly (see'TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS" in the Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).. ° Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into cylinder(s), = Turn ignition key to "START" position for a few seconds to distribute oit_ ° After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place cables where they cannot come in contact with battery terminals_ ° Replace with new spark plug(s).. ° Be sure battery drain tube is securely attached. ° Do not store gasoline from one season to another_ ° If battery is removed from tractor for' storage, do not store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces. .
