• 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 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 ma chine 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 fl ammable 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 fl ame, 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

op er a tion 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

run ning.

• Grass catcher components are subject to wear, dam-

age, and deterioration, which could expose moving

parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check

com po nents and replace with manufacturer's rec om -

mend ed parts, when nec es sary.

• 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.

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

in struc tions, 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 not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

Always look down and behind before and while back-

ing.

• 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 un-

clog ging chute.

• Mow only in daylight or good artifi cial light.

• Do not operate the machine while under the infl uence

of alcohol or drugs.

• Watch for traffi c 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-re-

lated 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 at tach ments.

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.

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 over-

turn 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. WARNING

OPERATION

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

can result in severe eye dam age. Always wear safety glass es or eye shields while op-

erating your tractor or per form ing any adjustments or repairs. We rec om mend a wide

vision safety mask over spectacles or stan dard safety glasses.

IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY

POSITION OTHER THAN "OFF" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY

TO BE DIS CHARGED, (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 pos si bil i ty, al-

ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-

plete ly, as described above, before

leav ing the operator's po si tion; to

empty grass catch er, etc.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 5)

Always operate engine at full throttle.

• Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the

battery charging rate.

• Full throttle of fers the best bagging and mower per for -

mance.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD

(See Fig. 5)

The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the

gearshift lever.

• Start tractor with clutch/brake pedal depressed and

gear shift lever in neutral (N) position.

• Move gearshift lever to desired position.

• Slowly release clutch/brake pedal to start move-

ment.

IMPORTANT: BRING TRACTOR TO A COMPLETE STOP

BEFORE SHIFTING OR CHANGING GEARS. FAILURE

TO DO SO WILL SHORTEN THE USEFUL LIFE OF YOUR

TRANSAXLE.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

(See Fig. 5)

The position of the attachment lift lever determines the

cutting height.

• Grasp lift lever.

• Press plunger with thumb and move lever to desired

po si tion.

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

The heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip

with the engine not running. These heights are approximate

and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of

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 fi rst cut

relatively high; the second to desired height.

STOPPING (See Fig. 5)

MOWER BLADES -

• To stop mower blades,move attachment clutch lever

to “DIS EN GAGED” po si tion.

GROUND DRIVE -

• To stop ground drive, depress clutch/brake pedal into

full “BRAKE” po si tion.

• Move gearshift lever to neutral (N) po si tion.

ENGINE -

• Move throttle control to slow po si tion.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to slow position and

allowing engine to idle before stopping may cause engine

to “backfi re”.

• Turn ignition key to “OFF” position and remove key.

Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent

un au tho rized use.

• Never use choke to stop engine.

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR

TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 5)

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens-

ing switch. When engine is running, any attempt by the

op er a tor to leave the seat without fi rst 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

re lease pressure from clutch/brake pedal. Pedal should

re main in “BRAKE” position. Make sure parking brake

will hold tractor secure.

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER AT TACH -

MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and

comply with specifi cations 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 in your tractor has been shipped, from the

factory, already fi lled with sum mer weight oil.

• Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.

• Remove oil fi ll 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 overfi ll.

• For cold weather operation you should change oil for

easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the

Maintenance sec tion of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in

this manual.

TO TRANSPORT

• Raise attachment lift to highest position with at tach ment

lift control.

• When pushing or towing your tractor, be sure gearshift

lever is in neutral (N) position.

• Do not push or tow tractor at more than fi ve (5) MPH.

NOTE: To protect hood from damage when transporting

your tractor on a truck or a trailer, be sure hood is closed

and secured to tractor. Use an appropriate means of tying

hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of fi ller neck. Do not overfi ll.

Use fresh, clean, regular un lead ed 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 quan ti ties that can be used within 30 days to assure

fuel fresh ness.

CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline

near an open fl ame.

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES

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

MOWING TIPS

• Tire chains cannot be used when the mower hous ing

is attached to tractor.

• Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing per-

for mance. See “TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING” in the

Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

• 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 dis tri bu tion 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,

drive ways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the

opposite direction making left hand turns until fi nished

(See Fig. 7 ).

FIG. 7

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 5)

When starting the engine for the fi rst 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.

• Sit on seat in operating position, 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 choke position.

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 fi fteen

sec onds per minute. If the engine does not start after

several attempts, move throttle control to fast position,

wait a few minutes and try again. If engine still does

not start, move the throttle control back to the choke

position and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)

• When engine starts, move the throttle control to the

fast position.

• 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, allow engine to run with the

throttle control in the choke position until the engine

runs roughly, then move throttle control to fast posi-

tion. This may require an engine warm-up period from

several seconds to several minutes, depending on the

tem per a ture.

• The attachments can also be used during the engine

warm-up period.

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.

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

reduce load and possible fi re hazard from dried clip-

pings. Make fi rst 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 mow-

ing to assure better mowing performance and proper

dis charge of ma te ri al. Regulate ground speed by se-

lect ing a low enough gear to give the mower cut ting

per for 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 at tach ment being used.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or

using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which

leads to sep a ra tion and for ma tion of acids during stor-

age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine

while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel

sys tem 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 In struc tions for

additional information. Never use engine or carburetor

cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage

may occur.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this tractor does not cover items that have

been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive

full value from the warranty, operator must main tain tractor

as instructed in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to

properly maintain your tractor.

All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments section

of this manual should be checked at least once each

season.

• Once a year you should replace the spark plug, clean

or replace air fi lter, and check blades and belts for wear.

A new spark plug and clean air fi lter assure proper

air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and

last longer.

BEFORE EACH USE

• Check engine oil level.

• Check brake operation.

• Check tire pressure.

• Check operator presence and

interlock systems for proper operation.

TO SHARPEN BLADE (See Fig. 9)

NOTE: We do not recommend sharp en ing blade - but if

you do, be sure the blade is balanced.

Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An un-

balanced blade will cause excessive vibration and even tual

damage to mower and engine.

• The blade can be sharpened with a fi le or on a grind-

ing 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

bal anc er.)

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 main-

te 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 Ad just ments

section of this manual).

TIRES

• Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See “PROD UCT

SPECIFICATIONS” section of this man ual).

• 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 fl at 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 sys tems 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 op er a tor

to leave the seat without fi rst setting the parking brake

should shut off the engine.

• When the engine is running and the at tach ment 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. Re place

bent or damaged blades.

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)

improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils

will result in increased oil consumption when used above

32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid

possible engine damage from running low on oil.

Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least

once a year if the tractor is not used for 25 hours in one

year.

Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine

and after each eight (8) hours of operation. Tighten oil fi ll

cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.

V-BELTS

Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after 100 hours

of operation and replace if necessary. The belts are not

ad just able. Re place belts if they begin to slip from wear.

TO AD JUST CARBURETOR

The carburetor has been preset at the factory and ad just ment

should not be necessary. However, minor ad just ment may be

required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,

altitude or load. If the carburetor does need adjustment,

see engine manual.

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

age may result.

IMPORTANT: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE GOVERNOR,

WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER ENGINE SPEED.

OVER SPEED ING 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 EQUIP MENT AND

EXPERIENCE TO MAKE ANY NEC ES SARY ADJUSTMENTS.

TO AD JUST THROTTLE CON TROL CABLE

(See Fig. 28)

The throttle control has been preset at the factory and

ad just ment should not be necessary. Check adjustment

as described below before loosening cable. If adjustment

is necessary, proceed as follows:

• With engine not running, move throttle control lever

from slow to choke position. Slowly move lever from

choke to fast position.

• Check that holes “A” in governor control lever and hole

in governor plate line-up. If holes “A” are not aligned,

loosen clamp screw and move throttle cable until holes

are aligned. Tighten clamp screw securely.

TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT BULB

• Raise hood.

• Pull bulb holder out of the hole in the backside of the

grill.

• Replace bulb in holder and push bulb holder securely

back into the hole in the backside of the grill.

• Close hood.

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

Replace with 20 amp automotive-type plug-in fuse. The

fuse holder is located behind the dash.

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.

WARNING: Never store the trac tor with

gas o line in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open fl ame

or spark. Allow the engine to cool before

storing in any en clo sure.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractor for winter storage. When mower

is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thor oughly, remove

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

• Clean entire tractor (See “CLEANING” in the Mainte-

nance section of this manual).

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

place ment instructions in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual).

• Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance sec tion of this

man ual.

• 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

re charg ing.

• To help prevent corrosion and power leakage during

long periods of storage, battery cables should be dis-

con nect ed and battery cleaned thoroughly (see “TO

CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS” in the Mainte-

nance 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 ES SEN TIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH

AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FIL TER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK

DURING STORAGE. ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT

ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING

ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOIS TURE WHICH

LEADS TO SEPARATION AND FOR MA TION OF ACIDS DURING

STOR AGE. 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

car bu re tor 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 mini-

mizing 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 en-

gine oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of

this man ual).

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 EN GINE AND

EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
