SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

IMPORTANT: 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-

ci den tal starting when setting up,

trans port ing, ad just ing or making re-

pairs, al ways dis con nect 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 om mend ed by and com-

ply with spec i ﬁ ca tions of the man u -

fac tur er 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

trac tion with the ground and cause you

to lose control of your tractor.

WARNING

Engine exhaust, some of its con stit u ents, and cer-

tain vehicle com po nents contain or emit chem i cals

known to the State of Cal i for nia to cause can cer and

birth de fects or oth er re pro duc tive harm.

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related ac ces so ries

contain lead and lead compounds, chem i cals known

to the State of Cal i for nia to cause can cer and birth

defects or oth er re pro duc tive 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 are.

• 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.

The cutting height range is approximately 1-1/2 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 desired height.

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.

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.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called

gas o hol or using ethanol or methanol) can at-

tract moisture which leads to sep a ra tion and

for ma tion 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

sea son. See Storage In struc tions for additional

information. Never use engine or carburetor

cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

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.

TO TRANSPORT (See Figs. 7 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.

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.).

15

OPERATION

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).

FIG. 12

00272

• 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.

• Place the motion control lever in neu tral.

Re lease the parking brake and let the clutch/

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 Adjustments

section of this manual.

• 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.

PURGE TRANSMISSION

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 in an area that is ﬂ at for approxi-

mately 80 feet in front of the tractor and set the parking

brake.

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

is running, move throttle control to slow position. With

motion control lever in neutral (N) po si tion, slowly dis-

engage clutch/brake pedal.

• Slowly move motion control lever to full forward position

and hold for ﬁ ve (5) seconds, or approximately 40 feet.

Slowly move lever to full reverse position and hold for

ﬁ ve (5) seconds, or approximately 20 feet. After the

tractor moves approximately 20 feet in reverse return

the motion control lever to the neutral (N) position.

Your transmission is now purged and now ready for normal

op er a tion.

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 main tain

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 ﬁ lter, and check blades and

belts for wear. A new spark plug and clean air ﬁ lter

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.

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 checked and ad just ed. (See

“TO ADJUST BRAKE” in the Ser vice and Ad just ments

section of this manual).

TIRES

• Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See “PROD UCT

SPEC I FI CA TIONS” section of this man ual).

• 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.

BLADE CARE

For best results mower blades must be kept sharp. Re place

bent or damaged blades.

CAUTION: Use only a replacement

blade approved by the manufacturer

of your tractor. Using a blade not ap-

proved by the manufacturer of your

tractor is hazardous, could damage

your tractor and void your warranty.

TO SHARPEN BLADE (See Fig. 14)

NOTE: We do not recommend sharp en ing blade - but if

you do, be sure the blade is balanced.

Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An un-

balanced blade will cause excessive vibration and even tual

damage to mower and engine.

• The blade can be sharpened with a ﬁ le or on a grind-

ing wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the

mower.

• To check blade balance, you will need a 5/8" diameter

steel bolt, pin, or a cone balancer. (When using a

cone balancer, follow the instructions supplied with

bal anc er.)

NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing blade. The lobes of

the center hole may appear to be centered, but are not.

• Slide blade on to an unthreaded portion of the steel bolt

or pin and hold the bolt or pin parallel with the ground.

If blade is balanced, it should remain in a horizontal

position. If either end of the blade moves downward,

sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced.

MAINTENANCE

TRANSAXLE COOLING

The transmission fan and cooling ﬁ ns 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-

si ble 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 ﬁ ns for dirt, grass clippings and other

materials. To prevent damage to seals, do not use

compressed air or high pressure sprayer to clean cool-

ing ﬁ ns.

TRANSAXLE PUMP FLUID

The transaxle was sealed at the factory and ﬂ uid main te -

nance is not required for the life of the transaxle. Should

the transaxle ever leak or require servicing, contact your

near est au tho rized ser vice center/department.

CLEANING

• Clean engine, battery, seat, ﬁ nish, etc. of all foreign

matter.

• Keep ﬁ nished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline,

oil, etc.

• Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.

We do not recommend using a garden hose or pressure

washer to clean your tractor unless the engine and trans-

mission are covered to keep water out. Water in engine or

transmission will shorten the useful life of your tractor. Use

compressed air or a leaf blower to remove grass, leaves

and trash from tractor and mower.

CLEAN AIR INTAKE/COOLING AREAS

To insure proper cooling, make sure the grass screen,

cooling ﬁ ns, and other external surfaces of the engine are

kept clean at all times.

Every 100 hours of operation (more often under extremely

dusty, dirty conditions), remove the blower housing and

other cooling shrouds. Clean the cooling ﬁ ns and external

surfaces as necessary. Make sure the cooling shrouds are

reinstalled.

NOTE: Operating the engine with a blocked grass screen,

dirty or plugged cooling ﬁ ns, and/or cooling shrouds re moved

IMPORTANT: DECK MUST BE LEVEL SIDE-TO-SIDE. IF THE

FOLLOWING FRONT-TO-BACK AD JUST MENT IS NECESSARY,

BE SURE TO ADJUST BOTH FRONT LINKS EQUALLY SO

MOWER WILL STAY LEVEL SIDE-TO-SIDE.

To obtain the best cutting re sults, the mower blades should

be adjusted so the front tip is ap prox i mate ly 1/8" to 1/2"

lower than the rear tip when the mower is in its highest

position.

CAUTION: Blades are sharp. Protect

your hands with gloves and/or wrap

blade with heavy cloth.

Check adjustment on right side of trac tor. Position any blade

so the tip is pointing straight forward. Measure distance "B"

at front and rear tip of the blade.

• Before making any necessary ad just ments, check that

both front plate links are equal in length.

• If links are not equal in length, adjust one link to same

length as other link.

• To lower front of blade, loosen nut “C” on both front

links an equal number of turns.

NOTE: Each full turn of nut “C” will change distance. “B”

by approximately 3/16".

• When distance “B” is 1/8" to 1/2" lower at front than rear,

tighten nut “D” against trunnion on both front links.

• To raise front of blade, loosen nut “D” from trunnion on

both front links. Tighten nut “C” on both front links an

equal number of turns. The two front links must remain

equal in length.

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

gas o line 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 Main te -

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 section 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

recharging.

• 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 sec tion 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.
