4. SERVICE
Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other
fuels. They are extremely flammable
and the
vapors are explosive.
Use only an approved container.

•

Follow the manufacturer's
recommendations
for
wheel
weights or counterweights
to improve
stability.

Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine
running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes
before refueling.

•

Use extra care with grass catchers or other
attachments. These can change the stability of the
machine.

Replace fuel cap securely and wipe off any spilled
fuel before starting the engine as it may cause a
fire or explosion.

•

Keep all movement
on the slopes slow and
gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or
direction.
Rapid engagement
or braking could
cause the front of the machine to lift and rapidly flip
over backwards which could cause serious injury.

Extinguish all cigarettes,
sources of ignition.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly
straight down the slope.

DO NOT:
•

Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; 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.

Never store the fuel container or machine inside
where there is an open flame or spark, such as a
gas hot water heater, space heater or furnace.
Never run a machine inside a closed area.
To reduce fire hazard, keep the machine free of
grass, leaves or other debris build-up. Clean up oil
or fuel spillage. Allow machine to cool at least 5
minutes before storing.
Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make
certain the blade and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep
the wire away from the spark plug to prevent
accidental starting.
Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at
frequent
intervals
for proper tightness.
Also,
visually inspect blade for damage (e.g., excessive
wear, bent, cracked). Replace with blade which

CLEANING

THE ENGINE

AND DECK

Lower the deck by moving the lift lever into the
bottom notch on the right fender.

Any fuel or oil spilled on the machine should be
wiped off promptly. Do NOT allow grass, leaves, and
dirt to accumulate around the cooling fins of the
engine or on any other part of the machine,
especially the pulleys and other moving parts.
Clean the underside of the deck with a wisk broom,
putty knife or forced air after each mowing.

Grasp the PTO idler pulley bracket (PTO
engagement plate on manual PTO units) and
pivot it toward the discharge chute to relieve
tension on the belt.
Remove the deck belt from around the electric
PTO clutch (the bottom portion of the engine
pulley on manual PTO units) and from around
the PTO idler pulley(s).

IMPORTANT:
The use a pressure washer or
garden
hose to clean your tractor is NOT
recommended. It may cause damage to electrical
components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the
engine. The use of water will result in a shortened
life of the tractor and reduce its serviceability.
CUTTING

NOTE: On units equipped with a 46-inch deck, the
bottommost belt on the deck does NOT need to be
removed in order to remove the deck.
• Looking at the cutting deck from the right side

• Locate the speed control assembly on the
underside of the steering support bracket. See
Figure 20.
• Remove both hairpin clips from the pin which
is fastened to the speed control assembly (be
careful not to lose the small flat washers found

!

on the pin). See Figure 20.

Cutting Blade

• Remove the drive pedal return spring.
Figure 21
• Use a 15/16" wrench to remove the hex flange
nut that secures the blade to the spindle
assembly. See Figure 21.
22

• After cleaning the battery and terminals, apply
a light coat of petroleum jelly or grease to the
terminals and over the positive terminal boot.

NOTE:

The hex flange nut has a right-handed
(normal) thread pattern. Do NOT attempt to force the
nut in the incorrect direction. Doing so may damage
the nut and create a safety hazard.

• Always keep the boot positioned over the
positive terminal to prevent shorting.

To properly sharpen the cutting blades, remove
equal amounts of metal from both ends of the blades
along the cutting edges. See Figure 22.
Sharpen the cutting edge straight across, parallel to
the trailing edge, at a 25 ° to 30 ° angle. See Figure
22.

IMPORTANT:

If removing the battery for any
reason, disconnect the NEGATIVE (Black) wire from
it's terminal first, followed by the POSITIVE (Red)
wire. When re-installing the battery, always connect
the POSITIVE (Red) wire its terminal first, followed
by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire. Be certain that the
wires are connected to the correct terminals.
reversing them could change the polarity and cause
damage to your engine's alternating system.

IMPORTANT:
If the cutting edge of the blade has
already been sharpened to within 5/8" of the wind
wing radius, or if any metal separation is present,
replace the blades with new ones. See Figure 22.

Charging
If the unit has not been put into use for an extended
period of time, charge the battery with an
automotive-type
12-volt charger for a minimum of
one hour at six amps.

FUSE
A fuse is installed in your tractor's wiring harness to
protect the tractor's electrical system from damage
caused by excessive amperage. Always use the
same capacity fuse for replacement. If the electrical
system does not function, or your tractor's engine
will not crank, first check to be certain that the fuse
has not blown. It can be found under the hood
mounted behind the top of dash panel on the
support bar. Pull the fuse out and compare it with
Figure 23 to determine if it is good or bad.

When replacing the blade, be sure to install the
blade with the side of the blade marked "Bottom" (or
with a part number stamped in it) facing the ground
when the mower is in the operating position.

IMPORTANT:

Use a torque wrench to tighten the
blade spindle hex flange nut to between 70 footpounds and 90 foot-pounds.

There are three safety switches in the starting circuit of your unit: the brake pedal
switch, the seat switch and the PTO switch. Make certain the actuator found on the
brake control assembly is fully depressing the button on the brake switch. The PTO
must be in the disengaged (OFF) position and the operator must be seated on the
tractor in order to start the engine, also.
The battery must be installed with negative terminal attached to black ground wire.
Negative terminal is identified at the post by "NEG", "N" or "-". The positive terminal,
identified by "POS", "P" or "+", must be attached to the thick red wire which goes to the
solenoid.
Charge at six amps with a 12-volt automotive4ype battery charger for one hour or until
fully charged.
Refer to operator's manual for fuse location. Replace fuse with automotive type fuse of
the proper amperage. Fuses seldom fail without a reason. The problem must be
corrected. Check for loose connections in the fuse holder. Replace fuse holder if necessary. A dead short may be in the cranking or charging circuit where the insulation
may have rubbed through and exposed the bare wire. Replace the wire or repair with
electrician's tape if the wire strands have not been damaged.
Note: Look for a wire pinched between body panels, burned by the exhaust pipe or
muffler or rubbed against a moving part.
Refer to the OPERATION section of this manual for the correct position of the throttle
control and choke for starting.
Gasoline tank empty. Fill.
Fuel line or in-line fuel filter plugged. Remove and clean fuel line. Replace fuel filter
(if so equipped) if necessary.
Spark plug lead disconnected. Connect lead. Using a spark tester, check for spark. If
no spark is present, have engine's magneto serviced by an authorized engine dealer.
If the air cleaner is dirty, the engine may not start. Refer to the engine manual packed
with your unit.
Check oil level.
Dipstick not seated or broken. Replace defective part.
Engine breather defective. Replace.
Stop engine immediately. Check all pulleys, blade adapters, keys and bolts for
tightness and spindle damage. Tighten or replace any loose or damaged parts.
Always replace damaged blade. Only use original equipment blades.
Throttle must be set at full throttle.
Use lower ground speed. The slower your ground speed, the better the quality of cut.
Raise deck.
Sharpen or replace blades (uncut strip problem only).
