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:

•Mowup and downslopes,not-across.

•Removeobstaclessuchas rocks,tree limbs,etc.

•Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terraincould

overturnthe machine. Tallgrass can hideobstacles.

•Useslowspeed. Choosea lowgearsothatyouwillnothave

to stoporshittwhileon the slope.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendationsfor wheel

weightsorcounterweightsto improvestability.

-_ Use extra care with grasscatchersor other attachments.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 15)

•The engine inyourtractor has been shipped, from the

factory, already filled with summer weight oil.

•Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.

•Remove oil fill cap/dipstickand wipe clean, reinsertthe

dipstick and screw cap tight, wantfor afew seconds,

remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until

"FULL" mark on dipsticki_ reached. Do not overfill.

•For cold weather operation you should change oil for

easier starting (See =OIL VISCOSITY CHART" in the

Customer Responsibilitiessection of this manual).

•To change engine oil,see the Customer Responsibili-

ties section in this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

•Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded

gasoline witha minimumof 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 inquantities 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 (called gasohol or using ethanol o1"m_thanol) can

attract moisturewhich 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 stop

age of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the

engine and let it run untilthe fuel lines and carburetor are

empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage Instruc-

tions for additional information. Never use engine ol

carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanenl

damage may occur.

OPERATION

I& CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank I

fill6i' neck. Do not overfill..Wipe off any I

•spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or

use gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 8)

When starting the engine for the firsttime 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 en-

gaged position.

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

pedal and set parking brake.

":Place motion control lever in neutral (N) position.

not be needed.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting

procedures below.

•Insertkeyinto ignitionandturnkeyclockwiseto =START"

positionand 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. Ifengine stilldoes notstart, pull

the choke control out and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)

• When engine, starts,,slowi,vpush 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 grounddrive can nowbe used. If

the engine does not accept the load, restartthe engine

and allow itto warm up for one minute usingthe 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-_oke 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 tem_perature. '_.

AUTOMATIC TRAN.LSMISSlON WARM UP

• Before driving fife unit incold weather, the transmis-

sion 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 retum 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 duringthe engine warm-

: Ul_l_eriodafter the transmission has been warmed up

and may require the choke controlbe pulledoutslightly. 13

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 forbest engine performance. See '1"O

ADJUST CARBURETOR" inthe Service and Adjustments

section of this manual.

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 REQUI'RE

REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, I:r

SHOULD BE PURGED AFTER REINSTALLATION

BEFORE OPERATING THE TRACTOR.

•Place tractorsafely onlevel 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 inthe tractor seat, start engine. After the eng!ne

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 hydraulicdrive

system.

•Muve motion controlleverto neutral (N) position. Shut-

off engine and set parking brake.

•Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in

drivingposition(See =TOTRANSPORT" inthissection

of manual).

•Sittinginthetractor seat, start engine. Afterthe engine

is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed.

With motioncontrol 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 retum the

motioncontrol lever to the neutralLN)position. Repeat

this procedure with the motion co=trol lever three (3)

times.

•Your tractor is now purged and now ready for normal

operation.

OPERATION

MOWING T S.

• Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing

is attached to tractor.

•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 trim-

ming.

•Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area

that has been cut. Have the cut area to the rightof the

machine. This will result in a more even distributionof

clippings and more uniform cutting.

•When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right

---- so---thatclippings will discharge away from shrubs,

fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds,mow

in the opposite direction making left hand tums until

finished (See Fig. 11).

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

reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip-

pings. Make first cut reiatively 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 throttlewhen 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 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.

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 clip-

pings 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.

•Avoidcuttingyour lawnwhen it iswet. Wet grasstends

to form clumps and interfereswith the mulchingaction.

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

At this time the grasshas dried and the newly cut area

will not be exposed to the direct sun.

•Forbest results,adjustthe mower cuttingheightso that

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

blades (See Fig. 12). For extremely heavy mulching,

reduce your widthof cuton each pass and mow slowly.

•Certain types of grass and grass conditions may re-

quire that an area be mulched a second time to com-

pletely hide the clippings. When doing asecond cut,

mow across or perpendicular to the first cut path.

•Change your cuttingpattern from week to week. Mow

northto southoneweek then change to east towest the

next week. This willhelp prevent matting and graining

of the lawn.

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

mora.

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-

5ughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a

clean, dry area.

• Clean entire tractor (See'CLEANING" inthe Customer

Responsibilities section of this manual).

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

placement instructions inthe Service andAdjustments

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

lightlybefore painting.

BATrERY

•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 cabl=.s 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 withbattery

% termk]aJs.

•- 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.

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 engineorcarburetor cleaner products inthe

fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

•Use iresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in

minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits duringstor-

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 stabilizerto reach the carburetor. Do

not drain the gas tank andcarburetor if usingfuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (withengine 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 ignitionkeyto"START" positionfora 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 protectionfrom dust and .dirt.

•Cover your tractorwith a suitable protective cover that

does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic

cannot breathe which allows condensati0h to form and

will cause your tractor to rust.

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE

AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
