TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULTIN SERIOUS INJURYOR 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

instructions, 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 notmow inreverse unless absolutely necessary. Al-

ways lookdown and behind before and while backing.

•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 arunning 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-

clogging chute.

• Mow 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 atrailer 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 themselves 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 amajor factor related to loss-of-control and

tipover accidents,which can result insevere injury or death.

All slopes require extra c_ution. 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 elope.

•Follow the manufacturer's recommendations forwheel

weights or counterweights to improve stability.

•Use extracare withgrasscatchers orother attachments.

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 drep-offs, ditches, or embankments.

The mower could suddenly turn over ifawheel 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 yourfoot

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 machine 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.

there is an open flame, such as a water heater.

• Never run a machine inside a closed area.

•Keep nuts and bolts,especially blade attachment bolts,

tight and keel=equipment-in good 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. 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

running.

• Grass catcher components are subject to wear, dam-

age, and deterioration, which could expose moving

parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check

components and replace with manufacturer's recom-

mended parts, when necessary.

•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.

SAFETY RULES

• Be sure the area isclear 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. Always

look down and behind before and while backing.

Nevercarry children.They may fall off and be seriously injured

or interfere with safe machine operation.

•Keep children out of the mowing area and underthe 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.

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

operator to leave the seat without first 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 release pressure from brake pedal. Pedal should

remain in "BRAKE" position. Make sure parking brake

will hold tractor secure.

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

can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while op-

erating your tractor or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide

vision safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses.

NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing

idle with the engine running, hotengine exhaust gases may

cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate this possibility, al-

ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

pletely, as described above, before leav- I

ing the operator's position; to empty

grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THROI-rLE CONTROL (See Fig. 8)

Always operate engine at full throttle.

•Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the

battery charging rate.

•Full throttle offers the best mower performance.

TO USE CHOKE CONTROL (See Fig. 8)

Use choke control whenever you are starting a coldengine.

Do not use to start a warm engine.

•knob in to disengage.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD

(See Fig. 8)

I CAUTION: Do not attempt to operate motion I

control lever when the parking brake is set or I

when the brake pedal is depressed. Doing so

may result in misadjustment to the drive control

system.

The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the

motion control lever.

• Start tractor with motion control lever in neutral (N)

position.

• Release parking brake.

• Slowly move motion control lever to desired position.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

(See Fig. 8)

The cutting height is controlled by turning the height ad-

justment knob in desired direction.

•Turn knob clockwise (f-N) to raise cutting height.

•Turn knob counterclockwise (1__)to lower cutting

height.

The cutting height range is approximately 1-1/2" to 4-1/2".

The heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip

with the engine notrunning.These heightsare approximate

and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of

grass and types of grass being mowed.

• Theaveragelawnshouldbecuttoapproximately2-1/2

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 first cut

relatively high;the second to desired height.

OPERATION

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 flat level

surface.

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

JUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT" in the Operation

section of this manual).

• Remove retainer spring and clevis pin which secure

each gauge wheel bar.

OPERATION

FIG. 11

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH-

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.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

•The engine inyour tractor has been shipped, from the

factory, already filled with summer 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 section of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in

this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

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

• Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a

minimum of 87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will

increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce

valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel

in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure

fuel freshness.

CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or I

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline I

near an open flame.

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES

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

GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER

STARTING.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called

gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can at-

tract moisture which leads to separation and

formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas

can damage the fuel system of an engine while

in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel

system should be emptied before storage of

30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start

the engine and let it run until the fuel lines

and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next

season. See Storage Instructions for additional

information. Never use engine or carburetor

cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 7)

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 fromthe tank to the engine.

•Besurefreewheel controlis inthe transmissionengaged

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

Forawarm 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 seen as engine

starts. Do not run starter continuously for more than

fifteen seconds per minute•If the engine does not start

after several attempts, push choke control in, wait a

few minutes and try again. If engine stilldoes notstart,

pullthe 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 notaccept the load, restart the engine

and allow itto warm up for one minute using the choke

as described above.

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50 °Fand below)

•When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until

the engine begins to run smoothly. Continue to push

the choke control insmall steps allowing the engine to

accept smallchanges inspeed and load, untilthe choke

control is fully in. Ifthe engine starts to run roughly,pull

the choke control out slightly for afew seconds and

then continue to push the control in slowly.This may

requirean engine warm-up period from several seconds

to several minutes, depending on the temperature.

NOTE: Inextreme cold conditions,if engine will notstart, you

may need to disengage the motion drive belt as follows:

•Be sure parking brake is engaged.

OPERATION

•Remove retainer sprmg from the drive belt tenston

handle to relieve belt tension.

• Start engme and allow _tto warm up for three (3) min-

utes

• Shut-off engine and engage parking brake

• Engage dnve belt tension handle and replace the

retainer spring.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

•Before dnving the unit mcold weather, the transmisston

should be warmed up as follows:

• Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

• Place the motion control lever in neutral. Re-

lease the parkmg brake and let the brake slowly

return to operating posttton.

• Allow one mmute for transmtssion to warm up.

This can be done during the engine warm up

period.

• The attachments can be used during the engine warm-

up penod after the transmission has been warmed

up and may requtre the choke control be pulled out

shghtiy.

NOTE: If at a htgh altitude (above 3000 feet) or m cold

temperatures (below 32 F) the carburetor fuel mtxture may

need to be adjusted for best engine performance. See "TO

ADJUST CARBURETOR" m the Service and Adjustments

section of thts manual.

PURGE TRANSMISSION

I_ CAUTION: Never engage or disengage I

freewheel lever while the engine is run-

ning.

To ensure proper operation and performance, it is recom-

mended that the tmnsmtsslon be purged before operating

tractor for the first time Thts procedure will remove any

trapped air inside the transmission which may have de-

veloped during shippingof your tractor.

IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION REQUIRE

REMOVALFOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT SHOULD

BE PURGEDAFTER REINSTALLATIONBEFORE OPERATING

THE TRACTOR.

• Place tractor safely on level surface with engine off and

parkmg brake set.

• Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control

infreewheeling position (See'rOTRANSPORT" inthts

section of manual)

• Sitttng in the tractor seat, start engine. After the en-

gine =srunning, move throttle control to slow pesltion.

Disengage parking brake

• Move motion control lever to full forward position and

hold for five (5) seconds. Move lever to full reverse

position and hold for five (5) seconds. Repeat this

procedure three (3) times.

NOTE: Dunng this procedure there wtll be no movement

of drive wheels. The air is being removed from hydraulic

dnve system.

• Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position. Shut-

off engine and set parking brake.

• Engage transmission by placing freewheel control m

driving position (See "TO TRANSPORT" inthis sectton

of manual).

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

ts running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed.

Disengage parking brake.

• Slowly move motton control lever forward, after the

tractor moves approximately five (5) feet, slowly move

motton control lever to reverse posihon. After the trac-

tor moves approximately five (5) feet return the mo-

tion control lever to the neutral (N) poslhon. Repeat

thts procedure with the motion control lever three (3)

times.

• Your tractor =snow purged and now ready for normal

operation.

MOWING TIPS

Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing

is attached to tractor.

•Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing per-

formance. See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" inthe

Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

•The left hand stde of mower should be used for trim-

mmg.

• Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area

that has been cut. Have the cut area to the nght of

.the tractor. This wdl result in a more even d=stnbutlon

of clippings and more uniform cutting.

• When mowinglarge areas, start byturnmg tothe r_ghtso

that chppmgs will discharge away from shrubs, fences,

dnveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow m the

opposite dtrection making left hand turns untd finished

(See Fig. 12).

00272

FIG. 12

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

reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried chp-

pings. Make first cut relahvely high; the second to the

desired height.

•Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug

mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to

dry before mowing.

•Always operate engine at full throttle when mow-

ing to assure better mowing performance and proper

discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by se-

lecUng a low enough gear to give the mower cutting

performance as well as the quality of cut desired.

•When operating attachments, select a ground speed

that will suit the terrain and give best performance of

the attachment being used.

•Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and

carburetor are empty.

•Never use engine or carburetorcleaner 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 storage.

Add stabilizer to gasoline infuel 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 manual).

CYLINDER(S)
