SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

DANDER: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROW ING OBJECTS. FAILURE

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

WARNING: In order to prevent ac-

cidental starting when setting up,

transport ing, ad justing or making re-

pairs, al ways dis connect spark plug

wire and place wire where it can not

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 rec ommended by and com-

ply with spec ifications of the man u-

facturer 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 dan ger ous. Tires can lose

traction with the ground and cause you

to lose control of your tractor.

WARNING

Engine exhaust, some of its con stituents, and cer-

tain vehicle com ponents contain or emit chem icals

known to the State of Cal ifor nia to cause can cer and

birth de fects or oth er re pro ductive harm.

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related ac cessories

contain lead and lead compounds, chem icals known

to the State of Cal ifor nia to cause can cer and birth

defects or oth er re pro ductive harm. Wash hands

after handling.

• 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 artifi cial

light.

• Do not operate the machine while under the infl uence

of alcohol or drugs.

• Watch for traffi c when operating near or crossing road-

ways.

• Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine

into a trailer or truck.

• Always wear eye protection when operating ma-

chine.

• 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 them selves 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 at tach ments; 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.

3

• 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.

Al ways look down and behind before and while back-

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 of the 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.

SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

III. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to

the presence of children. Children are often attracted to

the ma chine and the mowing activity. Never assume that

children will remain where you last saw them.

• Keep children out of the 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.

• 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 fl ammable

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 run-

ning. Allow engine to cool before refueling.

• Never fuel the machine indoors.

• Never store the machine or fuel container where there

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

heater or other appliances.

• Never fi ll 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 fi lling.

• 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 overfi ll 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

run ning.

• 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

necessary.

OPERATION

TO ADJUST MOWER CUT TING HEIGHT

(See Fig. 8)

The po si tion of the at tach ment lift le ver (A) de ter mines the

cut ting height.

• Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting height slot.

The cutting height range is ap prox i mate ly 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 fi rst cut

relatively high; the second to de sired height.

A

SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS

The cruise control should only be used while mowing or

transporting on relatively smooth, straight surfaces. Other

con di tions such as trimming at slow speeds may cause the

cruise control to dis en gage. Do not use the cruise control

on slopes, rough terrian or while trimmimg or turning.

• 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.

OPERATION

FIG. 11

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER AT TACH MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and

comply with specifi cations 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.

TO TRANSPORT (See Figs. 3 and 11)

When pushing or towing your tractor, be sure to disengage

transmission by placing freewheel control in free wheel ing

po si tion. Free wheel control is located at the rear drawbar

of tractor.

• Raise attachment lift to highest position with at tach ment

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.

engine has run and fl ashes to indicate that the engine

or mower needs servicing. When service is required, the

service reminder will fl ash for two hours. To service engine

and mower, see the Maintenance section of this manual.

NOTE: Service reminder 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.

WARNING: 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.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of fi ller neck. Do not overfi ll. Use

fresh, clean, regular un lead ed 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 quan ti ties 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 fl ame.

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES

BELOW32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE

GAS O LINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER

START ING.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the

factory, already fi lled with sum mer weight oil.

• Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.

• Remove oil fi ll 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 overfi ll.

• For cold weather operation you should change oil for

easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the

Maintenance sec tion of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in

this manual.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or

using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which

leads to sep aration and for mation 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 stor age

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.

OPERATION

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 3)

When starting the engine for the fi rst 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 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

fi fteen sec onds 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 sec onds

to several minutes, depending on the temperature.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

• Before driving the unit in cold weather, the trans mis sion

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 po si tion.

• 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 con trol be pulled out slight ly.

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 Ad just ments

section of this manual.

PURGE TRANSMISSION

CAUTION: Never engage or disengage

freewheel lever while the engine is run-

ning.

To ensure proper operation and performance, it is rec om -

mend ed that the transmission be purged before operating

tractor for the fi rst time. This procedure will remove any

trapped air inside the transmission which may have de-

vel oped during shipping of your tractor.

IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION RE QUIRE

REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT SHOULD

BE PURGED AFTER REINSTALLATION BEFORE 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-

en gage parking brake

• Depress forward drive pedal to full forward position,

hold for fi ve (5) seconds and release pedal. Depress

reverse drive pedal to full reverse position, hold for fi ve

(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.

• 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 fi ve feet then

backwards for fi ve feet. Repeat this driving procedure

three times.

Your transmission is now purged and now ready for normal

op er a tion.

FIG. 12

MOWING TIPS

• Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing per-

formance. 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 dis tri bu tion 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 fi nished

(See Fig. 12).

• If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to

reduce load and possible fi re hazard from dried clip-

pings. Make fi rst 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

dis charge of material. Regulate ground speed by se-

lect ing a low enough gear to give the mower cut ting

per for mance 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 at tach ment being used.

with an automotive charger will extend its life.

• Keep battery and terminals clean.

• Keep battery bolts tight.

• Keep small vent holes open.

• Recharge at 6-10 amperes for 1 hour.

NOTE: The original equipment battery on your tractor is

maintenance free. Do not attempt to open or remove caps

or covers. Adding or checking level of electrolyte is not

necessary.

TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS

Corrosion and dirt on the battery and terminals can cause

the battery to “leak” power.

• Remove terminal guard.

• Disconnect BLACK battery cable fi rst then RED bat-

tery cable and remove battery from tractor.

• Rinse the battery with plain water and dry.

• Clean terminals and battery cable ends with wire brush

until bright.

• Coat terminals with grease or petroleum jelly.

the SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS section of this

man u al).

TRACTOR

Always observe safety rules when per form ing any main-

te nance.

BRAKE OPERATION

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

speed in high est gear on a level, dry concrete or paved

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

BRAKE” in the Ser vice and Ad just ments 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 pre vent fl at tires due to

slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local

parts dealer. Tire sealant also pre vents tire dry rot and

corrosion.

OPERATOR PRESENCE SYS TEM AND REVERSE OP-

ERATION SYSTEM (ROS)

Be sure operator presence and reverse operation sys tems

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 de pressed, and the attachment clutch con trol is

in the dis en gaged position.

CHECK OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM

• When the engine is running, any attempt by the op er a tor

to leave the seat without fi rst setting the parking brake

should shut off the engine.

• When the engine is running and the at tach ment 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.

CHECK REVERSE OPERATION (ROS) SYSTEM

• When the engine is running with the ignition switch in

the engine "ON" position and the at tach ment 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 at tach ment clutch en-

gaged, any attempt by the operator to shift into reverse

should NOT shut off the engine.

STORAGE

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.

WARNING: Never store the trac tor with

gasoline in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open fl ame

or spark. Allow the engine to cool before

storing in any en clo sure.

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-

place ment instructions in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual).

• Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance sec tion of this

man ual.

• 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

re charg ing.

• To help prevent corrosion and power leakage during

long periods of storage, battery cables should be dis-

con nect ed 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 IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITS

FROM FORMING IN ES SEN TIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH

AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FIL TER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK

DURING STORAGE. ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT

ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING

ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOIS TURE WHICH

LEADS TO SEPARATION AND FOR MA TION OF ACIDS DURING

STOR AGE. 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 stor age.

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 man ual).

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 EN GINE AND

EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
