SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

DANGER: 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.

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 in struc tions, 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

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

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.

• Do not operate machine without the entire grass catcher,

discharge chute, or other safety devices in place and

working.

WARNING: In order to prevent ac ci den tal

starting when setting up, trans port ing,

ad just ing or making repairs, 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 neu-

tral, you may lose control of the tractor.

WARNING: Tow only the attachments that

are rec om mend ed by and comply 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.

• 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 chute.

• 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

road ways.

• Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine

into a trailer or truck.

• Always wear eye protection when operating

machine.

• Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above,

are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-

related 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.

SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

• 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.

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

equipment.

• 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

run ning.

• Check grass catcher components and the discharge

chute 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.

POSITION OTHER THAN "STOP" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY

TO BE DIS CHARGED, (DEAD).

NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing

idle with the engine running, hot en gine 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-

plete ly, as described above, and set

parking brake before leav ing the op er a-

tor's position.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (D) (See Fig. 19)

Always operate engine at full speed (fast).

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

the engine's operating efficiency.

• Full speed (fast) of fers the best mower per for mance.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUT TING HEIGHT

(See Fig. 21)

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.

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 22)

Gauge wheels are prop er ly ad just ed when they are slight ly

off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height

in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck

in proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain

conditions.

NOTE: Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level

surface.

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

JUST MOWER CUT TING HEIGHT” in this sec tion of

manual).

• With mower in desired height of cut po si tion, gauge

wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off

the ground. In stall gauge wheel in ap pro pri ate hole.

Tighten se cure ly.

• 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.

• Select desired height of cut with attachment lift lever.

• Start mower blades by engaging at tach ment clutch

control.

• The average lawn should be cut to approximately

2-1/2" during the cool season and to 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 de sired height.

TO USE CRUISE CONTROL (J) (See Fig. 20)

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

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.

shield (S) in place. (See Fig. 23)

OPERATION

Fig. 24

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER AT TACH MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and

comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your trac-

tor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a load,

while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with

the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.

TO TRANSPORT (See Figs. 16 and 24)

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.).

Transmission Disengaged

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.

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.

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 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.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill. 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 flame.

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 gasohol or

using ethanol or methanol) can attract 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 season. See Storage

In struc tions for additional information. Never use

engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel

tank or permanent damage may occur.

OPERATION

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the

factory, already filled with sum mer 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 sec tion of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in

this manual.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 16 )

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 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

sec onds 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/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.

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 posi-

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

several seconds to several minutes, depending on the

tem per a ture.

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 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/0°C) the carburetor fuel mixture

may need to be adjusted for best engine performance. See

“TO ADJUST CARBURETOR” in the Service and Adjust-

ments section of this manual.

Fig. 25

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 finished

(See Fig. 22).

• 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

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.

OPERATION

PURGE TRANSMISSION

CAUTION: Never engage or disengage

freewheel lever while the engine is

ru ning.

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

mend ed 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-

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 a level surface - that is clear

and open - 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

CAUTION: At any time, during step 4,

there may be movement of the drive

wheels.

• 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.

• 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

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 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.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OIL OR GREASE THE PIVOT POINTS

WHICH HAVE SPECIAL NYLON BEARINGS. VISCOUS

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 first 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.

• Reinstall battery (See “REPLACING BATTERY" in 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 five (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 the sides

of tires fro proper PSI.)

• 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 flat 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 first 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 sharp. Re place

worn, bent or damaged blades.

CAUTION: Use only a replacement blade

approved by the manufacturer of your

tractor. Using a blade not approved

by the manufacturer of your tractor is

hazardous, could damage your tractor

and void your warranty.

V-BELTS

Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after 100 hours

of operation and replace if necessary. The belts are not

ad just able. Re place 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-

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 fins for dirt, grass clippings and other

materials. To prevent damage to seals, do not use com-

pressed air or high pressure sprayer to clean cooling fins.

TRANSAXLE PUMP FLUID

The transaxle was sealed at the factory and fluid 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.

ENGINE

LUBRICATION

Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API service

classification SG-SL. Select the oil’s SAE viscosity grade

according to your expected operating temperature.

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)

improve starting in cold weather, they will result in increased

oil consumption when used above 32°F. Check your engine

oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage

from running low on oil.

Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at least

once a year if the tractor is not used for 50 hours in one year.

Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine

and after each eight (8) hours of operation. Tighten oil fill

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT (See Figs. 36 & 37)

IMPORTANT: Deck must be level side-to-side.

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

be adjusted so the front tip is 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.

• Raise mower to highest position.

• Position any blade so the tip is pointing straight forward.

Measure distance (B) to the ground at front and rear

tip of the blade.

TO LEVEL MOWER

Make sure tires are properly inflated to the PSI shown on

tires. If tires are over or under inflated, it may affect the

appearance of your lawn and lead you to think the mower

is not adjusted properly.

VISUAL SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 34)

• With all tires properly inflated and if your lawn appears

unevenly cut, determine which side of mower is cutting

lower.

NOTE: As desired, you can raise the low side of mower

or lower the high side.

• Go to side of mower you wish to adjust.

• With a 3/4" or adjustable wrench, turn lift link adjust-

ment nut (A) to the left to lower the mower, or, to the

right to raise the mower.

NOTE: Each full turn of adjustment nut will change mower

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 flame

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.

ENGINE

Engine Power Rating Information

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

Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained

and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower

values are derived at 3600 RPM. Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other things, ambi-

ent 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 power). 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.
