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 immediately.
•
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten
securely.

Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operating. 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 backing.
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.
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

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 fuelsoaked 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 recommended 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.

Select desired height of cut (see "TO ADJUST MOWER
CUTTING HEIGHT")
•
Start mower blades by engaging attachment clutch
control.

The position of the attachment lift lever (A) determines the
cutting height.

TO STOP MOWER
•

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" during the cool season andto over 3"during hot
months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow
often and after moderate growth.
•
For best cutting performance, grass over 6" in height
should be mowed twice. Make the first cut relatively
high; the second to desired height.

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, 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.

ADD GASOLINE
•

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.
•
Be sure freewheel control is in the transmission 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 choke position.

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.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50°F/10°C 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.

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 ENSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER STARTING.

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50°F/10°C 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 position. This may require an engine warm-up period from
several seconds to several minutes, depending on the
temperature.

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.

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.
•
Theattachmentscan alsobeusedduringtheenginewarmup period after the transmission has been warmed up.
NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold
temperatures (below 32°F/0°C) 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.

To ensure proper operation and performance, it is recommended 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 developed during shipping of your tractor.
iMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION REQUIRE
REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT SHOULD

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. Disengage 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.

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 trimming.
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).

(
J

NOTE: During this procedure there will be no movement
of drive wheels. The air is being removed from hydraulic
drive system.
•
Shut- off engine and set parking brake.
•
Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in
engaged 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 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.

FIG. 12
•

•

Your transmission is now purged and now ready for normal
operation.

•

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.
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.

Immediately prepare your tractor for storage at the end
of the season or if the tractor will not be used for 30 days
or more.

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.

gasoline in the tank inside a building
where fumes may reach an open flame
WARNIN G: Never store the tractor with
or spark. Allowthe engine to cool before
storing in any enclosure.

TRACTOR

•

Remove mower from tractor for winter storage. When mower
isto be stored for a period of time, clean itthoroughly, remove
all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.

Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and let it run
until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

•

Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING"
Maintenance section of this manual).

•

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
Use fresh fuel next season.

•

Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt
replacement instructionsinthe Service and Adjustments
section of this manual).
Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this
manual.

in the

NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in
minimizing the formation offuel 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.

Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely
fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage
and wear. Replace if necessary.

ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine oil.
(See "ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of this manual).

Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand
lightly before painting.

BATTERY

CYLINDER(S)

•

Fully charge the battery for storage.

•

Remove spark plug(s).

•

After a period of time in storage, battery may require
recharging.

•

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

•

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 manual).

•

Turn ignition key to "START" position for a few seconds
to distribute oil.

•

Replace with new spark plug(s).

•

OTHER

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.

•

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.

Engine Power Rating information
The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive
Engineers) code Jl1940 (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 products 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, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability.
Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.
