SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride=On Mowers

DANDER: THiS CUTTING MACHINE iS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEETAND THROWING OBJECTS. FAILURE

TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULTIN SERIOUS iNJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Do not coast down a hill

in neutral, you may lose control of

the tractor.

WARNING: Tow only the attachments

that are recommended by and comply

with specifications of the manufacturer

of your tractor. Use common sense

when towing. Operate only at the low-

est 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.

WARNING

Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and cer-

tain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals

known to the State of California to cause cancer and

birth defects or other reproductive harm.

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories

contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known

to the State of California to cause cancer and birth

defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands

after handling.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the

machine and in the manual before starting.

• Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under

the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at

all times.

• 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 blades.

• Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operat-

ing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

Always look down and behind before and while back-

ing.

• Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid

discharging material against a wall or obstruction.

Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop

the blades when crossing gravel surfaces. 2

• Do not operate machine without the entire grass catcher,

discharge guard, or other safety devices in place and

working.

• Slow down before turning.

• Never leave a running machine unattended. Always

turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and

remove keys before dismounting.

• Disengage blades when not mowing. Shut off engine

and wait for all parts to come to a complete stop before

cleaning the machine, removing the grass catcher, or

unclogging the discharge guard.

• Operate machine 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

roadways.

• Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine

into a trailer or truck.

• Always wear eye protection when operating ma-

chine.

• Data indicatesthat 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.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel

weights or counterweights.

• 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.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and

tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or

death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If

you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it,

do not mow it.

• Mow up and down slopes, not across.

•Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden

objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.

Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have

to stop or shift while on the slope.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.

Always keep the machine in gear when going down

slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the

tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed

slowly straight down the slope.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.

Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction,

which could cause the machine to roll over.

• Use extra care while operating machine with grass

catchers or other attachments; they can affect the

stability of the machine. Do no use on steep slopes.

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

on the ground.

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

The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel is over

the edge or if the edge caves in.

&SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride=On Mowers

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. Never assume that

children will remain where you last saw them.

Keep children out of the mowing area and inthe watchful

care of a responsible adult other than the operator.

Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the

area.

• Before and while backing, look behind and down for

small children.

• Never carry children, even with the blades shut off. They

may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with

safe machine operation. Children who have been given

rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing

area for another ride and be run over or backed over

by the machine.

• Never allow children to operate the machine.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may block your view of a

child.

IV. TOWING

• Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for

towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the

hitch point.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight

limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.

• Never allow children or others in or on towed equip-

ment.

• On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may

cause loss of traction and loss of control.

• Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

V. SERVICE

SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme

care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable

and the vapors are explosive.

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other

sources of ignition.

• Use only approved gasoline container.

• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine

running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.

• Never fuel the machine indoors.

• Never store the machine or fuel container where there

is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water

heater or other appliances.

• Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or

trailer bed with plastic liner. Always place containers

on the ground away from your vehicle when filling.

• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or

trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,

then refuel such equipment with a portable container,

rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or

container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi-

ately.

• Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten

securely.

GENERAL SERVICE

Never operate machine in a closed area.

• Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment

is in safe working 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 and remove any

fuel-soaked debris. Allow machine to cool before

storing.

• If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the

machine. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

• Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine

running.

• Check grass catcher components and the discharge

guard frequently and replace with manufacturer's rec-

ommended parts, when necessary.

• Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear

gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service

as required.

• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as

ing.

Never carry children, even with the blades shut off. They

may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with

safe machine operation. Children who have been given

rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing

area for another ride and be run over or backed over

by the machine.

Keep children out ofthe mowing area and in the watchful

care of a responsible adult other than the operator.

Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the

area.

Before and while backing, look behind and down for

small children.

Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.

Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have

to stop or shift while on the slope.

Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the

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.

OPERATION

The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result

in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your tractor

or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide

vision safety mask worn over spectacles.

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR •Turn ignition key to "STOP" position and remove key.

Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent

unauthorized use.

TO SET PARKING BRAKE(See Fig. 4)

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens-

ing switch. When engine is running, any attempt by the

operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking

brake will shut off the engine.

Depress brake pedal (B) all the way down and hold.

Pull parking brake lever (C) up and hold, release pres-

sure from brake pedal (B), then release parking brake

lever. Pedal should remain in brake position. Make

sure parking brake will hold tractor secure.

Never use the choke to stop engine.

IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY

POSITION OTHER THAN "STOP" 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, 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 = D (See Fig. 6)

Always operate engine at full speed (fast).

• Operating engine at less than full speed (fast) reduces

engines operating efficiency.

• Full speed (fast) offers the best bagging and mower

performance.

STOPPING (See Fig. 5)

MOWER BLADES -

To stop mower blades,move attachment clutch lever

to "DISENGAGED" position.

FIG. 5

GROUND DRIVE -

• To stop ground drive, depress brake pedal into full

"BRAKE" position.

IMPORTANT: FORWARD AND REVERSE DRIVE

PEDALS RETURN TO NEUTRAL POSITION WHEN NOT

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 "backfi re".

FIG. 6

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD

(See Fig. 7)

The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the

forward and reverse drive pedals.

• Start tractor and release parking brake.

• Slowly depress forward (K) or reverse (L) drive pedal to

begin movement. Ground speed increases the further

down the pedal is depressed.

TO USE CRUISE CONTROL =J (See Fig. 7)

The cruise control feature can be used for forward travel

only.

SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS

The cruise control should only be used while mowing or

transporting on relatively smooth, straight surfaces. Other

conditions such as trimming at slow speeds may cause the

cruise control to disengage. Do not use the cruise control

on slopes, rough terrian or while trimmimg or turning.

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.

FIG. 7

• With forward drive pedal depressed to desired speed,

pull cruise control lever (J) up and hold while lifting

your foot off the pedal, then release the lever.

To disengage the cruise control, depress the brake pedal

or tap on forward drive pedal.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

(See Fig. 8)

The position of the attachment lift lever (A) determines the

cutting height.

FIG. 8

• Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting height slot.

The cutting height range is approximately 1" 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.

• 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.

©

3/4

FIG.9

NOTE: Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level

surface.

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

JUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT" in this section of

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.

Tighten securely.

• Repeat for all, installing gauge wheel in same adjust-

ment hole.

TO OPERATE MOWER

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing

switch. Any attempt by the operator to leave the seat with

the engine running and the attachment clutch engaged will

shut off the engine. You must remain fully and centrally

positioned in the seat to prevent the engine from hesitat-

ing or cutting off when operating your equipment on rough,

rolling terrain or hills.

1. Select desired height of cut with attachment lift lever.

2. Start mower blades by engaging attachment clutch

control.

TO STOP MOWER BLADES -

disengage attachment clutch control.

CAUTION: Do not operate the mower

without either the entire grass catcher,

on mowers so equipped, or the deflec=

tot shield (S) in place.

OPERATION

REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)

Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System

(ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse

direction with the attachment clutch engaged will shut off

the engine unless ignition key is placed in the ROS "ON"

position.

,AWARNING: Backing up with the attachment clutch en-

gaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the

ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment

clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator

decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the

attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless

absolutely necessary.

USING THE REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM -

Only use if you are certain no children or other bystanders

will enter the mowing area.

• Depress brake pedal all the way down.

• With engine running, turn ignition key counterclockwise

to ROS "ON" position.

• Look down and behind before and while backing.

• Slowly depress reverse drive pedal to start move-

ment.

• When use of the ROS is no longer needed, turn the

ignition key clockwise to engine "ON" position.

ROS "ON" POSITION ENGINE "ON" POSITION

(NORMAL OPERATING)

TO OPERATE ON HILLS

CAUTION: Do not drive up or down

hills with slopes greater than 15° and

do not drive across any slope.

Choose the slowest speed before starting up or down

hills.

• Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.

• If stopping is absolutely necessary, push brake pedal

quickly to brake position and engage parking brake.

• To restart movement, slowly release parking brake and

brake pedal.

• Slowly depress appropriate drive pedal to slowest set-

ting.

• Make all turns slowly.

TO TRANSPORT (See Figs. 3 and 11)

When pushing or towing your tractor, be sure to disengage

transmission by placing freewheel control in freewheeling

position. Free wheel control is located at the rear drawbar

of tractor.

• Raise attachment lift to highest position with attachment

lift control.

• Pull freewheel control out and down into the slot and

release so it is held in the disengaged position.

• Do not push or tow tractor at more than two (2)

MPH.

• To reengage transmission, reverse above procedure.

NOTE: To protect hood from damage when transporting

your tractor on a truck or a trailer, be sure hood is closed

and secured to tractor. Use an appropriate means of tying

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

SERVICE REMINDER/HOUR METER

Service reminder shows the total number of hours the engine

has run and flashes to indicate that the engine or mower

needs servicing. When service is required, the service

reminder will flash for two hours. To service engine and

mower, see the Maintenance section of this manual.

NOTE: Service reminde_ runs when the ignition key is in

any position but STOP . For accurate reading, be sure

key remains in the STOP position when engine is not

running.

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS

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.

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.

• 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 "OIL VISCOSITY CHART" in the

Maintenance section of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in

this manual.

OPERATION

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 inquantities 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 ENSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER

STARTI NG.

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 fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 3)

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 brake pedal

and set parking brake.

• Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position.

• Move throttle control to choke position.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting

procedures below.

• Insert key intoignition 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.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)

• When engine starts, move the throttle control to the

fast position.

• 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, allow engine to run with the

throttle control in the choke position until the engine

runs roughly, then move throttle control to fast posi-

tion. This may require an engine warm-up period from

several seconds to several minutes, depending on the

temperature.

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.

•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 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) 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.

PURGE TRANSMISSION

_b AUTION: Never engage or disen=

gage freewheel lever while the engine

is running.

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 PURGEDAFTER 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 engine

is running, move throttle control to slow position. Dis-

engage parking brake

•Depress forward drive pedal to full forward position,

hold for five (5) seconds and release pedal. Depress

reverse drive pedal to full reverse position, hold for five

(5) seconds and release pedal. 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.

12

OPERATION

•Shut- off engine and set parking brake.

•Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in

engaged position (See "TO TRANSPORT" in this sec-

tion of manual).

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

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

Disengage parking brake.

•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

•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

machine. 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).

(

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

selecting 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.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this tractor does not cover items that have

been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive

full value from the warranty, operator must maintain tractor

as instructed in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to

properly maintain your tractor.

At least once a season, check to see if you should make

any of the adjustments described in the Service and

Adjustments section of this manual.

• At least once a year you should replace the spark

plug, clean or replace air filter, and check blades and

belts for wear. A new spark plug and clean air filter

assure proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine

run better and last longer.

BEFORE EACH USE

•Check engine oil level.

• Check brake operation.

• Check tire pressure.

• Check operator presence and

ROS systems for proper operation.

• Check for loose fasteners.

Always observe safety rules when performing any main-

tenance.

BRAKE OPERATION

If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to stop at highest

speed in highest gear on a level, dry concrete or paved

surface, then brake must be serviced. (See "TO CHECK

BRAKE" in the Service and Adjustments section of this

manual).

TIRES

• Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See PSI on

tires).

• 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 AND REVERSE OP-

ERATION SYSTEM (ROS)

Be sure operator presence and reverse operation systems

are working 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 the attachment clutch control is

in the disengaged position.

CHECK OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM

•When the engine is running, any attempt bythe operator

to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake

should shut off the engine.

• When the engine is running and the attachment clutch

is engaged, any attempt by the operator to leave the

seat should shut off the engine.

• The attachment clutch should never operate unless

the operator is in the seat.

ROS "ON" Position Engine "ON" Position

(Normal Operating)

CHECK REVERSE OPERATION (ROS) SYSTEM

•When the engine is running with the ignition switch in

the engine "ON" position and the attachment clutch

engaged, any attempt by the operator to shift into

reverse should shut off the engine.

• When the engine is running with the ignition switch in

the ROS "ON" position and the attachment clutch en-

gaged, any attempt by the operator to shift into reverse

should NOT shut off the engine.

BLADE CARE

For best results mower blades must be sharp. Replace

worn, bent or damaged blades.

Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after 100 hours

of operation and replace if necessary. The belts are not

adjustable. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear.

TRANSAXLE COOLING

The transmission fan and cooling fins should be kept clean

to assure proper cooling.

Do not attempt to clean fan or transmission while engine

is running or while the transmission is hot. To prevent pos-

sible damage to seals, do not use high pressure water or

steam to clean transaxle.

• Inspect cooling fan to be sure fan blades are intact and

clean.

Inspect cooling fins for dirt, grass clippings and other

materials. To prevent damage to seals, do not use

compressed air or high pressure sprayer to clean

cooling fins.

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 thor-

oughly, 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 inthe 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).

• After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place

cables where they cannot come in contact with battery

terminals.

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

store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANTTO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITS

FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUELSYSTEM PARTS SUCH

AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK

DURING STORAGE. ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT

ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING

ETHANOLOR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH

LEADS TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OFACIDS 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 engine

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: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE

AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.

For engine service and replacement parts, call the toll free

number for your engine manufacturer listed below:

Briggs & Stratton 1-800-233-3723

The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engi-

neers) code J11940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and

corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-5). Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by,

among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given both the wide array of prod-

ucts on which engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, the gas

engine will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment (actual "on-site" or net

horsepower). This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust,

charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humid-

ity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may sub-

stitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.
