CARTS

AND

OTHER

ATTACH-

CAUTION.
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 fueltank
or permanent damage rnay occur,

Tow only the attachments
that are recommended 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, is dangerous
Tires
can lose traction with the ground and cause
you to lose control of your tractor.

•

ENGINE

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..
I. Siton seat in operating position, depress
clutch/brake
pedal and set parking
brake.
2 Place gearshift lever in neutral (N) position,
3 Move attachment
clutch to disengaged
position.
4. Move throttle controi to choke position.

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 still
does not start, move the throttle control
back to the choke position and retry.

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 life). Do not mix oilwith
gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that
can be used within 30 days to assure fuel
freshness_

_CAUTION:
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

• If grass is extremely
tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce toad 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 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
quaIity of cut desired.
, When operating

select a
ground speed that will suit the terrain and
give best performance
of the attachment
being used.

TIPS

• Mowershoutd
be properly leveled forbest
mowing performance
See "TO LEVEL
MOWER HOUSING"
in the Service and
Adjustments
section of this manual
o The left hand side of mower should be
used for trimming.
• Drive so thatclippings
are discharged onto
the area that has already 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.

ACCELERATION

NOTE:
The carburetor
on this engine is
tow emission°
It is equipped with an idle
fuel adjusting
needle with a limiter cap,
which allows some adjustment
within the
limits allowed by the cap. Do not attempt
to remove the limiter cap,. The limiter cap
cannot be removed without breaking the
adjusting needle.
The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjustment
should not be necessaryo 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 idle mixture valve in
(clockwise)
decreases the supply of fuel to
the engine giving a leaner fuellair mixture.
Turning the idle mixture valve out (counterclockwise) increases the supply of fue! to the
engine giving a richer fuellair mixture°
IMPORTANT:
Damage to the needle valve
and the seat in carburetor may result if screw
is turned in too tight.

ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT,
It is important to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential fuel
system parts such as carburetor, fuel hose,
ortank during storage, Also, 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.
, Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine
and letting it run until time 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 alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel
gum deposits during storage Add stabilizer
to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container
Always followthe 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 empty 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
Maintenance
section of this manual),
CYLINDER(S)
1. Remove spark plug(s).
2. Pourone ounce ofoilthrough
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).

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 TERMINALS"
in the Maintenance
section of this man-

• Si el c_sped est& demasiado alto, se debe
segar dos veces para reducir la carga y los
posibles peligros de incendio debido a los
recortes secos, Haga el primer corte relativamente alto; el segundo a ta altura deseada
, No siegue el c6sped cuando est& mojado
El c6sped mojado taponar_ la segadora y
dejar& montones indeseabfes. Permita que
se seque el c_sped antes de segarlo
• Slempre opere el motor con una aceleraci6n completa cuando siegue para asegurarse de conseguir un mejor rendimiento
y una descarga apropiada de los materiales,
Regule la velocidad de recorrido sereccionando un cambio lo suficientemente bajo para
obtener un rendimiento de corte de parte de
su segadora y tambien ta calidad de! corte
deseada.
