•Do not operate the machinewhile under the influenceof

alcoholor drugs.

•Watchfortrafficwhenoperatingnearorcrossingroadways_

• Use extracare when loadingorunloadingthe machine into

a trailer ortruck_

I1. 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 aUmovement 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 slowiy

and gradually downhill, if possible.

•Do not mow near drop-otis, 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 adul[

• 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

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 aclosed area

Fig. 6)

The cutting height iscontrolled by turning the height adjust-

ment knob in desired direction.

o Turn knob clockwise (_) to raise cutting height.

•Turn knob counterclockwise (v_) 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 not running. These heights are approxi-

mate and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height

df 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 first cut

relatively high; the second to desired height.

OPERAON

ADD GASOLINE

-Fill fuel tank.. 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)o Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30

days to assure fuel freshness°

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES

BELOW 32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE

GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER

STARTING..

WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended

fuels (calted gasohoi 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.. 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 Instruc_

tions for additional information_ Never use engine or

carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank

filler neck. Do not overfill, Wipe off any

spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or

use gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 6)

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.

• Depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake.

= Place gear shift 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 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 E

be adjusted for best engine pefformance., See "TO ADJUST CAI

manual.

MOWING TiPS

= Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing is

attached to tractor.

o Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing

performance See"TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in

the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

° Use the runner on the right hand side of mower as a

guider The blade cuts approximately an inch outside

the runner (See Fig. 8).

o 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 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,.

o Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to

assure better mowing performance and proper dis-

charge of material.. Regulate ground speed by select-

ing a low enough gear to give the mower cutting

performance as wel! as the quality of cut desired,.

• When operating attachments, select a ground speed

that wil! suit the terrain and give best performance of

the attachment being used..

THE FOLLOWING FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT IS

NECESSARY, BE SURETO ADJUST BOTH FRONT LINKS

EQUALLY SO MOWER WILL STAY LEVEL SIDE-TO-SIDE.

To obtain the best cutting results, the mower housing

should be adjusted so the front is approximately 1/8" to 1/2"

lower than the rear when the mower is in its highest

position.

Check adjustment on right side of tractor. Measure dis-

tance "F" directly in front of and behind the mandrel at

bottom edge of mower housing as shown.,

• Before making any necessary adjustments, check that

both front 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 mower housing, loosen nut"G"on both

front links an equal number of turns

. When distance "F" is 1/8" to 1/2" lower at front than

rear, tighten nut "H" against trunnion on both front links.

° To raise front of mower housing, loosen nut "H" from

trunnion on both front links,, Tighten nut "G" on both

front links an equal number of turns°

oWhen distance "F" is 1/8" to 1/2" lower at front than

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig. 33)

The carburetor has been present at the factory and adjust-

ment should not be necessary° However, minor adjustment

may be required to compensate for differences in fuel,

temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need

adjustment, proceed as follows:

In general, turning the adjusting needles in (clockwise)

decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner

fuel!air mixture° Turning the adjusting needles out (coun-

terclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine

giving a richer fuel/air mixture.

IMPORTANT: DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLES AND THE

SEATS tN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS

TURNED IN TOO TIGHT

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

oBe sure you have a clean air filter, and the throttle

control cable is adjusted properly (see 'q'o ADJUST

THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE" in the Service and

Adjustments section of this manual).

• With engine off turn idle fuel adjusting needle in (clock-

wise) closing it finger tight and then turn out (counter-

clockwise) 1 turn_

FINAL SETTING -

•Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes. Make

final adjustments with engine running and shift!motion

control lever in neutral (N) position.

• The high idle is set at the factory and cannot be

adjusted°

o!d!e speed setting - With throttle control lever in slow

(._) position, engine should idle at 1200 RPMo If

engine idles too slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting

screw in or out until correct idle is attained.

oIdle fuel needle setting - With throttle control lever in

slow (,_) position, turn idle fuel adjusting needle in

(clockwise) until engine speed decreases and then

turn out (counterclockwise) approximately 3/4 turn to

obtain the best low speed performance.

° Recheck idle speed_ Readjust if necessary..

ACCELERATION TEST_

o Move throttle control lever from slow (,_) to fast (,_)

position. If engine hesitates or dies, turn idle fuel

adjusting needle out (counterclockwise) 1/8 turn. Re-

peat test and continue to adjust, if necessary, until

engine accelerates smoothly,

High speed stop isfactory 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

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 thor-

oughty, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a

clean, dry area..

o Clean entire tractor (See"CLEANING" in the Customer

Responsibilities section of this manual).

o 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

oFully charge the battery forstorage.

•Affera period of time in storage, battery may require

recharging.

o To help prevent corrosion and power leakage during

long periods of storage, battery cables should be

disconnected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see "TO

CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS" in the Cus-

tomer Responsibilities section of this manual).

•After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place

cables where they cannot come in contact with battery

terminals.,

° Be sure battery drain tube is securely attached.

° if battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not

store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces,.

ENGmNE

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..

o Drain the fuel tank,

o 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),

CYLINDERS

°Remove spark plug(s).

° Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into

cylinder(s).

oTurn 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
