Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS.

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

SAFETY RULES

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 mowing.

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 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 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 unclogging

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

a trailer or truck.

• 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.

• 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 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 traction,

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

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. They

are flammable 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 flame, 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

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, damage,

and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or

allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components

and replace with manufacturer's recommended 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.

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

SAFETY RULES

• 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.

Look for this symbol to point out im-

portant safety precautions. It means

CAUTION!!! BECOME ALERT!!! YOUR

SAFETY IS INVOLVED.

CAUTION: In order to prevent acciden-

tal starting when setting up, transport-

ing, adjusting or making repairs, al-

ways disconnect spark plug wire and

place wire where it cannot contact spark

plug.

CAUTION: Do not coast down a hill in

neutral, you may lose control of the

OPERATION

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 operating

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

safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses.

IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY

POSITION OTHER THAN "OFF" WILL CAUSE THE

BATTERY TO BE DISCHARGED, (DEAD).

NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing idle

with the engine running, hot engine exhaust gases may

cause “browning” of grass. To eliminate this possibility,

always stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-

pletely, as described above, before leav-

ing the operator's position; to empty

grass catcher, etc.

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR

TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 6)

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing

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 clutch/brake pedal into full “BRAKE” position

and hold.

• Place parking brake lever in “ENGAGED” position and

release pressure from clutch/brake pedal. Pedal should

remain in “BRAKE” position. Make sure parking brake

will hold tractor secure.

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 first cut

relatively high; the second to desired height.

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 engaged

position.

• Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake

pedal and set parking brake.

• Place motion control lever in neutral (N) position.

• 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

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 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 seconds 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 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

Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Customer Responsibilities

section in this manual.

FIG. 9

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH-

MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and

comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your

tractor. 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 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

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

GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER

STARTING.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called

gasohol or using ethanol or methanol)

can attract moisture which leads to sepa-

ration 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.

FIG. 10

MOWING TIPS

• Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing

performance. See “TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING” in

the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

• The left hand side of mower should be used for trimming.

• 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 distribution 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. 10).

• 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 mowing

to assure better mowing performance and proper dis-

charge of material. Regulate ground speed by selecting

a low enough gear to give the mower cutting perfor-

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

attachment being used.

PURGE TRANSMISSION

CAUTION: Never engage or disengage

freewheel lever while the engine is run-

ning.

To ensure proper operation and performance, it is recom-

mended 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 devel-

oped during shipping of your tractor.

IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION REQUIRE

REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT

SHOULD BE PURGED AFTER REINSTALLATION BEFORE

OPERATING THE TRACTOR.

• Place tractor safely on level surface with engine off and

parking brake set.

• Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in

freewheeling position (See “TO TRANSPORT” in this

section of manual).

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

is running, move throttle control to slow position. With

motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly

disengage clutch/brake pedal.

• 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: During this procedure there will be no movement of

drive wheels. The air is being removed from hydraulic drive

system.

OPERATION

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

off engine and set parking brake.

• Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in

driving 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 half (1/2) speed. With

motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly

disengage clutch/brake pedal.

• Slowly move motion control lever forward, after the

tractor moves approximately five (5) feet, slowly move

motion control lever to reverse position. After the tractor

moves approximately five (5) feet return the motion

control lever to the neutral (N) position. Repeat this

procedure with the motion control lever three (3) times.

• Your tractor is now purged and now ready for normal

operation.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

•Before driving the unit in cold weather, the transmission

should be warmed up as follows:

• Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

• Place the motion control lever in neutral. Release

the parking brake and let the clutch/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 be used during the engine warm-

up period after the transmission has been warmed up

and may require the choke control be pulled out slightly.

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.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER

HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH.

CLEAN AFTER EACH USE.

• The special mulching blade will recut the grass clippings

many times and reduce them in size so that as they fall

onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass and not be

noticed. Also, the mulched grass will biodegrade

quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always mulch

with your highest engine (blade) speed as this will

provide the best recutting action of the blades.

• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends

to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action.

The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon.

At this time the grass has dried and the newly cut area

will not be exposed to the direct sun.

•For best results, adjust the mower cutting height so that

the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass

blades (See Fig. 11). For extremely heavy mulching,

reduce your width of cut on each pass and mow slowly.

• Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require

that an area be mulched a second time to completely

hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow

across or perpendicular to the first cut path.

• Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow

north to south one week then change to east to west the

next week. This will help prevent matting and graining

of the lawn.

TO SHARPEN BLADE (See Fig. 13)

NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening blade - but if you

do, be sure the blade is balanced.

Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An

unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration and even-

tual damage to mower and engine.

• The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grinding

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 balancer).

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.

TRACTOR

Always observe safety rules when performing any mainte-

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 Adjustments

section of this manual).

TIRES

• Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See “PRODUCT

SPECIFICATIONS” section of this manual).

• 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 flat 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 systems are work-

ing properly. If your tractor does not function as described,

repair the problem immediately.

• The engine should not start unless the clutch/brake

pedal is fully depressed and attachement clutch control

is in the disengaged position.

• When the engine is running, any attempt by the operator

to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake

should shut off the engine.

• When the engine is running and the attachment 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. Replace

bent or damaged blades.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

Your carburetor is not adjustable. If your engine does not

operate properly due to suspected carburetor problems, take

your tractor to an authorized service center for repair and/or

adjustment.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust - damage

may result.

IMPORTANT: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE

GOVERNOR, WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER

ENGINE SPEED. OVERSPEEDING THE ENGINE ABOVE

THE FACTORY HIGH SPEED SETTING CAN BE

DANGEROUS. IF YOU THINK THE ENGINE-GOVERNED

HIGH SPEED NEEDS ADJUSTING, CONTACT YOUR

NEAREST AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER/

DEPARTMENT, WHICH HAS PROPER EQUIPMENT AND

EXPERIENCE TO MAKE ANY NECESSARY

ADJUSTMENTS.

INTERLOCKS AND RELAYS

Loose or damaged wiring may cause your tractor to run

poorly, stop running, or prevent it from starting.

• Check wiring. See electrical wiring diagram in the Repair

Parts section.

TO REPLACE FUSE

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.

CAUTION: Never store the tractor with

gasoline in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open flame

or spark. Allow the engine to cool

before storing in any enclosure.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractor for winter storage. When mower

is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thoroughly,

remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry

area.

• Clean entire tractor (See “CLEANING” in the Customer

Responsibilities section of this manual).

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

placement instructions in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual).

• Lubricate as shown in the Customer Responsibilities

section of this manual.

• 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 discon-

nected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see “TO CLEAN

BATTERY AND TERMINALS” in the Customer Respon-

sibilities 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 ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM

PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL

HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE. ALSO,

EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL BLENDED

FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING ETHANOL OR

METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH LEADS

TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING

STORAGE. 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

minimizing 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 engine oil.

(See “ENGINE” in the Customer Responsibilities section of

this manual).

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 ENGINE

AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
