Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing switch. The engine will stop if operator is not firmly seated in operator's seat when attachment clutch lever is engaged. Leaning forward or to one side on the seat may cause the engine to stop. ADD GASOLINE e ENGINE Fill tank (see Fig.. 11A)+Use fresh, clean, regular Unleaded gasoline. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life). in addition, your tractor has a traction clutch switch. If operator must temporarily leave tractor seat to remove an obstruction, adjust engine, etc, the engine will stop unless the brakeclutch pedat is fully depressed and parking brake lever locked. IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES BE + LOW 32 ° F (0 ° C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER STARTING.. WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using 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 To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied belore storage of 30 days or Ionger. Drain fuel tank, start engine and let it run until fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage Instructions for additional inior+ mation. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur • Depress brake-clutch pedal and set parking brake • Place the shift control lever in NEUTRAL position • Move attachment clutch lever to DISENGAGED position • Pull choke control out to CHOKE position for cold engine start, For warm engine start, do not use choke control, • Move throttle control to midway between FAST and SLOW positions e Turn ignition key clockwise to START position and release key as soon as engine starts, Do not run starter continuously for more than t5 seconds per minute if engine does not start after several attempts, move throttle to FAST position, wait a few minutes and try again.. , FUEL CAP ALL-WHEEL STEERING FEATURE Because both front and rear wheels turn, an all+wheel steering tractor is very maneuverable. If the tractor becomes wedged against a wall, fence or other obstruction, do the following: o Move shift control lever to No. I position o Turn steering wheel slightly away from obstruction. NOTE: If you turn steering wheel sharply, rear wheels will turn in opposite direction of front wheels (turning into obstruction you are trying to move away from). e Move shift control lever to reverse position to back out of dead ends Be sure tractor is completely stopped before shifting into reverse.

AUTION: Look down and behind before and OPERATION MOWING TIPS e Do not use tire chains when mower housing is attached to unit e Run the engine at FAST speed position. • Control forward ground speed with shift control lever in accordance with type and quantity of grass being mowed. The more grass to be cut, a slower forward ground speed should be used. When cutting light grass, forward ground speed can be increased By observing cutting action of your mower, you can determine the forward g round speed_ e Your mower may tend to leave unmowed strips when long and tender gr ass is being mowed Tender grass has a high internal moisture content and is easily depressed by lawn tractor wheels, and may not always spring back in time to be cut. To overcome this condition, we advise mowing lawn in a counterclockwise direction, overlapping previous cut, which allows lifting action of rotating blades to lift grass into cutting path. e When mowing large areas, clippings will discharged driveways, etc After one terclockwise direction until e ,_ start in a clockwise direction so away from shrubs, fences, or two rounds, mow in counfinished (see Fig 12)., FIG. 12 RETRAINING LAWN TO BE CUTWITH MULCHING MOWER- Be sure your mower is adjusted properly, front-to-rear and side-to-side, (see To Level Mower Deck in Service •and Adjustments section) e Only cut grass that is dry e Mow grass often Short grass clippings wilt decay fast e Keep blades sharp. Sharp blades vviflcut better. e Your tractor is very maneuverable and can be reversed to back out of dead ends. MULCHING MOWING • Mow your lawn frequently e For a mulching mower to performbest, we recommend that you remove about ! "to 1-1/2" of grass with each cut if your grass is very thick or lush, you may want to remove as little as tt2" on final cut to produce the best possible result. This could mean that you must mow your lawn every 3-5 days under certain growing conditions • If the height of the grass should get out of control, we recommendthat you follow instructions for first time mulching to bring lawn back to a manageable height. The optimum grass height isdependent on grass type and immediate local growing conditions, Consult your local agricultural extension office for this information. • Keep your engine running at full speed (throttleat fast) 11 youslow downthe engine running speed you will slow bfade speed as well, which will impair the ability of the mower to cut grass properly. • After mewing your lawn, check under the mower deck to be sure it is clean and free of grass buildup. Do not allow the grass to build up because it will impair ability of mower to cut properly,. • Keep the blade sharp It needs to be kept sharp and free from nicks to keep from damaging the grass tips while cutting grass quickly and efficiently e Keep your lawn watered, fertilized frequently, and free of debris, • Mulching mower will not perform properly in wet grass Cut only when it is dry.. TIPS To mulch grass with a mulching mower, you wilt need to do several things differently than with a conventional mower. You must change your mowing habits in order to maximize effectiveness of your mulching mower. This could mean siowing down the pace that you currently use to mow your fawn to allow the mulcher extra time to cut and recut the clippings into a fine mulch_The volume of grass that is under the deck of a mulcher is greater at any time than it is with a conventional lawn mower_ WHEN MULCHING LAWN FOR THE FIRST T1ME• Set cutting height at highest setting and mow in one direction._ e Upon completion of first mowing, lower the cutting height to middle setting and mow a second time at 90 ° to first cut or in a cfiss-cross pattern. You can also recur in same direction by overlapping the center of the mower over the wheel tracks of the first cut. and white backing. CAUTION: Look down Disengage and behind mowerbefore blades before backing upo NOTE: To convert from mulching to conventional Iawnmowing see TO REMOVE MULCHING PLUG in CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES section ot this manual. 16 CUSTOMER GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE The warranty on thistractor does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence To receive full value from warranty, operator must maintain lawn tractor as instructed in this manual EACH USE • Check engine oii level.. o Check brake operation. • Check tire pressure e Check for loose tasteners .Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your uniL All adjustments in the SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS section of this manual should be checked at least once each season.

IMPORTANT: DANGER Never store the engine with fuel indoors or in a poorly ventilated enclosure, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, etc. Handle the gasoline carefully. It is highly flammable and careless use could result in serious fire damage to your person and/or property. Drain the fuel into an approved container outdoors away from an open flame. TRACTOR Remove mower deck from tractor for winter storage When mower deck is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grease, ieaves, etc Give blades and underside of mower deck housing a good coat of grease or rust preventative Store in a clean, dry area e Clean entire tractor (See CLEANING in CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES section of this manual). ® Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt replacement instructions in the SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS section of this manuat). • Lubricate (see CUSTOMER section of this manual). e Be sure all nuts, botts and screws are securely fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage and wear.. Reprace if necessary,. e IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS THE CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DUR,ING 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 fuel ta_ko • Start engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty • Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in fuel tank or permanent damage may occur, Use fresh fuel next season. e NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container Alwaysfol_ow mix ratiofound in stabilizer container..
