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.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the

manual and on the machine before starting.

• 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 blade.

• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mow-

ing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

Always look down and behind before and while back-

ing.

• Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not

point it at anyone. Do not operate the mower without

either the entire grass catcher or the guard in place.

• Slow down before turning.

• Never leave a running machine unattended. Always

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

remove keys before dismounting.

• Turn off blades when not mowing.

• Stop engine before removing grass catcher or un-

clog ging chute.

• Mow 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.

• 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.

• 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

tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.

All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the

slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

DO:

• Mow up and down slopes, not across.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could

overturn the machine.

Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will

not have to stop or shift while on the slope.

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel

weights or counterweights to improve stability.

• Use extra care with grass catchers or other at tach ments.

These can change the stability of the machine.

• Keep all movement on the slopes

slow

and

gradual

.

Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose trac-

tion, disengage the blades and proceed slowly

straight

down the slope.

DO NOT:

•

Do not

turn on slopes unless necessary, and then,

turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

•

Do not

mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.

The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over

the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

•

Do not

mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could

cause sliding.

•

Do not

try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot

on the ground.

•

Do not

use grass catcher on steep slopes.

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 under the

watchful care of another responsible adult.

• Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the

area.

• Before and when backing, look behind and

down

for

small children.

• Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously

injured or interfere with safe machine operation.

• Never allow children to operate the machine.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

IV. SERVICE

• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels.

They are ﬂ ammable and vapors are explosive.

- Use only an approved container.

- Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine

running. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do

not smoke.

- Never refuel the machine indoors.

- Never store the machine or fuel container inside where

there is an open ﬂ ame, such as a water heater.

• Never run a machine inside a closed area.

• Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment bolts,

tight and keep equipment in good condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper

op er a tion regularly.

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris

build-up. Clean oil or fuel spillage. Allow machine to

cool before storing.

• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object.

Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

• Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine

run ning.

• Grass catcher components are subject to wear, dam-

age, and deterioration, which could expose moving

parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check

com po nents and replace with manufacturer's rec om -

mend ed parts, when nec es sary.

• Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s)

or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing

them.

• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service

as required.

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 neutral, 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.

• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop

machine if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers or children even with the blades

off.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Al ways

look down and behind before and while backing.

• Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously injured

or interfere with safe machine operation.

• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful

care of another responsible adult.

• Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.

• Before and when backing, look behind and down for small

children.

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

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn

the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will not have

to stop or shift while on the slope.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If 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. 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.

OPERATION

CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-

plete ly, as described above, before leav-

ing the operator's position; to empty

grass catcher, etc.

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

in severe eye dam age. Always wear safety glass es or eye shields while operating your tractor or

per form ing any adjustments or repairs. We rec om mend a wide vision safety mask over spectacles

or stan dard safety glasses.

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR

TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 8)

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens-

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

op er a tor to leave the seat without ﬁ rst setting the parking

brake will shut off the engine.

• Depress brake pedal into full “BRAKE” position and

hold.

• Place parking brake lever in “ENGAGED” position

and re lease pressure from brake pedal. Pedal should

re main in “BRAKE” position. Make sure parking brake

will hold tractor secure.

STOPPING (See Fig. 8)

MOWER BLADES -

• To stop mower blades,move attachment clutch switch

to “DIS EN GAGED” po si tion.

GROUND DRIVE -

• To stop ground drive, depress brake pedal into full

“BRAKE” position.

IMPORTANT: FORWARD AND REVERSE DRIVE PEDALS

RETURN TO NEUTRAL POSITION WHEN NOT DEPRESSED.

ENGINE -

• Move throttle control to slow position.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to slow position and

allowing engine to idle before stopping may cause engine

to “back ﬁ re”.

• Turn ignition key to “OFF” position and remove key.

Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent

un author ized use.

• Never use choke to stop engine.

IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY

POSITION OTHER THAN "OFF" 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.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 8)

Always operate engine at full throttle.

• Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the

battery charging rate.

• Full throttle of fers the best bagging and mower per for -

mance.

TO USE CHOKE CONTROL (See Fig. 8)

Use choke control whenever you are starting a cold engine.

Do not use to start a warm engine.

• To engage choke control, pull knob out. Slowly push

knob in to disengage.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD

(See Fig. 8)

The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the

forward and reverse drive pedals.

• Start tractor and release parking brake.

• Slowly depress forward or reverse drive pedal to begin

movement. Ground speed increases the further down

the pedal is depressed.

TO USE CRUISE CONTROL (See Fig. 8)

The cruise control feature can be used for forward travel

only.

SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS

The cruise control should only be used while mowing or

transporting on relatively smooth, straight surfaces. Other

conditions such as trimming at slow speeds may cause the

cruise control to disengage. do not use the cruise control

on slopes, rough terrain or while trimming or turning.

• With forward drive pedal depressed to desired speed,

move cruise control lever forward to “SET” position and

hold while lifting your foot off the pedal, then release

the cruise control lever.

• To disengage the cruise control, pull the lever backward

to “OFF” position, or fully depress the brake pedal.

OPERATION

TO OPERATE MOWER (See Fig. 10)

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.

• Select desired height of cut.

• Lower mower with attachment lift control.

• Start mower blades by engaging attachment clutch

control.

FIG. 9

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 9)

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly

off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height

in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck

in proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain

conditions.

NOTE:Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a ﬂ at level

surface.

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

JUST MOWER CUT TING HEIGHT” in the Operation

sec tion of this manual).

• Remove retainer spring and clevis pin which secure

each gauge wheel bar.

• Lower gauge wheels to ground. Raise gauge wheels

slightly to align holes in bracket and gauge wheel bar

and insert clevis pin. Gauge wheels should be slightly

off the ground.

• Replace retainer spring into clevis pin.

• Be sure all gauge wheels are in the same setting.

IMPORTANT: BE SURE TO READJUST GAUGE WHEELS IF YOU

CHANGE THE CUTTING HEIGHT OF THE MOWER DECK.

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 ap proxi mate 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.

CAUTION: Do not operate the mower

without either the en tire grass catcher,

on mowers so equipped, or the de ﬂ ec tor

shield in place.

TO OPERATE ON HILLS

WARNING: Do not drive up or down

hills with slopes greater than 15° and

do not drive across any slope.

• Choose the slowest speed before starting up or down

hills.

• Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.

• If stopping is absolutely necessary, push brake pedal

quickly to brake position and engage parking brake.

• To restart movement, slowly release parking brake and

brake pedal.

• Slowly depress appropriate drive pedal to slowest set-

ting.

• Make all turns slowly.

TO TRANSPORT (See Figs. 7 and 11)

OPERATION

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 7)

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.

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.

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 gasohol

or using ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-

ture which leads to sep a ra tion and for ma tion of

acids during stor age. Acidic gas can damage

the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To

avoid engine problems, the fuel system should

be emp tied 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 ad di tion al information. Never use engine or

carburetor clean er products in the fuel tank or

permanent damage may occur.

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.

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.).

OPERATION

FIG. 12

00272

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 en-

gine 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

driving 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 tractor is now purged and now ready for normal

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).

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.

• 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.

MAINTENANCE

TRACTOR

Always observe safety rules when performing any main-

te nance.

BRAKE OPERATION

If tractor requires more than six (6) feet stopping distance

at high speed in highest gear, then brake must be adjusted.

(See “TO ADJUST BRAKE” in the Service and Ad just ments

section of this manual).

TIRES

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

SPECIFICATIONS” 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 prevent ﬂ at tires due to

slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local

parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and

corrosion.

OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM

Be sure operator presence and interlock 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 depressed and attachement clutch control is in

the disengaged position.

• 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.

BLADE CARE

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

bent or damaged blades.

BLADE REMOVAL (See Fig. 13)

• Raise mower to highest position to allow access to

blades.

NOTE: Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap blade

with heavy cloth.

• Remove blade bolt by turning counterclockwise.

• Install new or resharpened blade with stamped "THIS

SIDE UP" facing deck and mandrel assembly.

IMPORTANT: TO ENSURE PROPER ASSEMBLY, CENTER

HOLE IN BLADE MUST ALIGN WITH STAR ON MANDREL

ASSEMBLY.

• Install and tighten blade bolt securely (45-55 Ft. Lbs.

torque).

IMPORTANT: SPECIAL BLADE BOLT HEAT TREATED.

BATTERY

Your tractor has a battery charging system which is suf ﬁ cient

for normal use. However, periodic charging of the battery

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

nec es sary.

TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS

Corrosion and dirt on the battery and terminals can cause

the battery to “leak” power.

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.

FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT (See Figs. 22 and 23)

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.

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

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

• Recheck side-to-side adjustment.

TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING

Adjust the mower while tractor is parked on level ground

or driveway. Make sure tires are properly inﬂ ated (See

“PROD UCT SPECIFICATIONS” section of this manual). If

tires are over or underinﬂ ated, you will not properly adjust

your mower.

SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT (See Figs. 20 and 21)

• Raise mower to its highest position.

• Measure height from bottom edge of mower to ground

level at front cor ners of mower. Distance “A” on both

sides of mower should be the same.

• If adjustment is necessary, make adjustment on one

side of mower only.

• To raise one side of mower, tighten lift link ad just ment

nut on that side.

• To lower one side of mower, loosen lift link ad just ment

nut on that side.

NOTE: Each full turn of adjustment nut will change mower

height about 3/16".

• Recheck measurements after ad just ing.

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. Al low 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 sec tion of this manual).

• Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re-

place ment instructions in the Service and Ad just ments

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 Main te -

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.

• Drain the fuel tank.

• Start 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 drain

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.
