SAFETY RULES

_, SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES FOR RIDE-ON MOWERS

IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATINGHANDS AND FEETANDTHROWING OBJECTS. FAILURE

TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

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 mow-

ing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Al-

ways 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 un-

clogging 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 road-

ways.

• 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-re-

lated injuries. These operators should evaluate their

ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to

protect themselves and others from serious injury.

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves or other debris

build-up which can touch hot exhaust /engine parts

and burn. Do not allow the mower deck to plow leaves

or other debris which can cause build-up to occur.

Clean any oil or fuel spillage before operating or

storing the machine. Allow machine to cool before

storage.

I1. 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. If you cannot back up the

slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

DO:

• Mow up and down slopes, 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.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendations 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 slow and gradual

Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose trac-

tion, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight

down the slope.

DO NOT:

•Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then,

turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

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

The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel 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.

•Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot

on the ground.

•Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

III. 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.

•Before and when backing, look behind and down for

small children.

•Nevercarrychildren. Theymayfalloffandbeseriously

injured or interfere with safe machine operation.

•Never allow children to operate the machine.

•Use extracare when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

IV. SERVICE

•Use extra care in handling 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 orfuel containerinsidewhere

there is an open flame, such as a water heater.

•Never run a machine inside a closed area.

•Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment bolts,

tight and keep equipment in good condition.

•Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper

operation regularly.

•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 ifyou strike an object.

Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

•Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine

running.

• Grass catcher components are subject to wear, dam-

age, and deterioration, which could expose moving

parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check

components and replace with manufacturer's recom-

mended 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.

SAFETY RULES

A SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES FOR RIDE-ON MOWERS A

• 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 absolutely 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 necessary, and then, turn slowly

and gradually downhill, if possible.

AWARNING: In order to prevent ac-

cidental starting when setting up,

transporting, adjusting or making

repairs, always disconnect spark

plug wire and place wire where it

cannot contact spark plug.

A WARNING: Do not coast down a hill

in neutral, you may lose control of

the tractor.

AWARNING: Tow only the attachments

that are recommended by and com-

ply with specifications of the manu-

facturer of your tractor. Use common

sense when towing. Operate only at

the lowest possible speed when on a

slope. 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.

STOPPING (See Fig. 8)

MOWER BLADES -

• To stop mower blades,move attachment clutch switch

to "DISENGAGED" position.

GROUND DRIVE -

• To stop ground drive, depress brake pedal into full

"BRAKE" position.

IMPORTANT: THE MOTION CONTROL LEVER RETURNSTO

NEUTRAL (N) POSITIONWHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS FULLY

DEPRESSED.

ENGINE -

• Move throttle control between half and full speed (fast)

position.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control between half and

full speed (fast) position, 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 CAUSETHE 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, al-

ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

&CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-

pletely, as described above, before leav-

ing the operator's position; to empty

grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THROTTLE 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 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

(See Fig. 8)

CAUTION: Do not attempt to operate motion control

lever when the parking brake is set or when the

brake pedal is depressed. Doing so may result in

misadjustment to the drive control system.

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.

• Slowly move motion control lever to desired position.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

(See Fig. 8)

The cutting height is controlled by turning the height ad-

justment knob in desired direction.

• Turn knob clockwise (F_I) to raise cutting height.

• Turn knob counterclockwise (_) 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.

OPERATION

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 cutting height

in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck

in proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain

conditions.

NOTE:Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level

surface.

• Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See "TO AD-

hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).

FIG. 11

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH-

MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and

comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your trac-

tor. 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.

FIG. 10 14

OPERATION

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.

• 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

Maintenance section of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in

this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

• 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 oil with 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

BELOW32°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 at-

tract 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.

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 inthetransmission engaged

position.

• Sit on seat in operating position, depress brake pedal

and set parking brake.

• 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 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)

• 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)

• 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 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, depending on the temperature.

NOTE: In extreme cold conditions, if engine will not start, you

may need to disengage the motion drive belt as follows:

• Be sure parking brake is engaged.

• Remove retainer spring from the drive belt tension

handle to relieve belt tension.

• Start engine and allow it to warm up for three (3) min-

utes.

• Shut-off engine and engage parking brake.

• Engage drive belt tension handle and replace the

retainer spring.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

° Before driving the unit in cold weather, the transmission

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 brake

slowly return to operating position.

• Allow one minute for transmission to warm up.

This can be done during the engine warm up

period.

• The attachments can be used during the engine warm-

up period after the transmission has been warmed

up and may require 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

CAUTION: Never engage or disengage

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 de-

veloped during shipping of your tractor.

IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION REQUIRE

REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT SHOULD

BE PURGED AFTER REINSTALLATIONBEFORE OPERATING

THE TRACTOR.

• Place tractor safely on level surface with engine off and

parking brake set.

• 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 en-

gine is running, move throttle control to slow position.

Disengage parking brake

• 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

procedure 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 motion control lever to 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 inthe tractor seat, start engine. After the engine

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

Disengage parking brake.

• Slowly move motion control lever forward, after the

tractor moves approximately five (5) feet, slowly move

motion control lever to reverse position. After the trac-

tor moves approximately five (5) feet return the mo-

tion control lever to the neutral (N) position. Repeat

this procedure with the motion control lever three (3)

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.

• 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 byturning 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).

(

,. <J

00272

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 mow-

ing to assure better mowing performance and proper

discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by se-

lecting 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.

tenance.

BRAKE OPERATION

If tractor requires more than six (6) feet stopping distance

at high speed in highest gear, then brake must be adjusted.

(See"TO ADJUST BRAKE" in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual).

TIRES

•Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See"PRODUCT

SPECIFICATIONS" section of this manual).

• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chemi-

cals which can harm rubber.

• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and

other hazards that may cause tire damage.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to

slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local

parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and

corrosion.

OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM

Be sure operator presence and interlock systems are work-

ing properly. If your tractor does not function as described,

repair the problem immediately.

•The engine should not start unless the brake pedal is

fully depressed and attachement clutch control is in

the disengaged position.

or more.

WARNING: Never store the tractor with

gasoline in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open flame

or spark. AIIowthe 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.

° Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING" in the Mainte-

nance 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 Maintenance 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.

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 dis-

connected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see "TO

CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS" in the Mainte-

nance section of this manual).

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANTTO PREVENTGUM 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 MOISTUREWHICH

LEADSTO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OF ACI DS DURING

STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM

OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

° Empty the fuel tank by starting 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 fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in mini-

mizing 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 empty

the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

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

gine oil. (See "ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of

this manual).

CYLINDER(S)

• Remove spark plug(s).

° 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 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 protection from 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: NEVERCOVERTRACTORWHILE ENGINE AND

EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.

SUGGESTED GUIDE FOR SIGHTING SLOPES FOR SAFE OPERATION

-''-'----_ o°

ONLY RIDE UP AND DOWN HILL,

NOT ACROSS HILL

15 DEGREES MAX.

_ARNING: To avoid serious injury, operate your tractor up and

down the face of slopes, never across the face. Do not mow

slopes greater than 15 degrees. Make turns gradually to prevent

tipping or loss of control. Exercise extreme caution when

changing direction on slopes.

1. Fold this page along dotted line indicated above.

2. Hold page before you so that its left edge is vertically parallel to a tree

trunk or other upright structure.

3. Sight across the fold in the direction of hill slope you want to measure.

4. Compare the angle of the fold with the slope of the hill.
