through unusually tall, dry grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of  
dry leaves. Dry grass or leaves may contact the engine  
exhaust and/or build up on the mower deck presenting a  
potential fire hazard.  
5. Do not mow on wet grass. It may cause sliding.  
6. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill. Over-speeding  
may cause the operator to lose control of the machine  
resulting in serious injury or death.  
27. Use only accessories and attachments approved for this  
machine by the machine manufacturer. Read,  
understand and follow all instructions provided with the  
approved accessory or attachment.  
28. Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above,  
are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-  
related injuries. These operators should evaluate their  
ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to  
protect themselves and others from serious injury.  
29. If situations occur which are not covered in this manual,  
use care and good judgment. Contact an authorized  
Service Dealer for assistance.  
7. Do not tow heavy attachments (e.g. loaded dump cart,  
lawn roller, etc.) on slopes greater than 5 degrees. When  
going down hill, the extra weight tends to push the tractor  
and may cause you to loose control. (e.g. tractor may  
speed up, braking and steering ability may be reduced,  
attachment may jack-knife and tractor may overturn).  
Children  
1. 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. They do not  
understand the dangers. Never assume that children will  
remain where you last saw them.  
Slope Operation  
a. Keep children out of the mowing area and in  
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the  
operator.Be alert and turn machine off if a child  
enters area.  
b. Before and while backing, look behind and down  
for small children.  
c. Never carry children, even with the blade(s) shut  
off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or  
interfere with safe machine operation.  
d. Use extreme care when approaching blind  
corners, doorways, shrubs, trees or other objects  
that may block your vision of a child who may run  
into the machine.  
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-  
over 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.  
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this  
manual to measure slopes before operating this unit on a  
sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees as  
shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this unit on that  
area or serious injury could result.  
Do:  
1. Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme  
caution when changing direction on slopes.  
e. Disengage the cutting blade(s) before shifting in  
reverse. The “No-Cut-In Reverse” feature is a  
reminder not to cut in reverse and to help avoid  
back over accidents. Do not defeat it.  
2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden  
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall  
grass can hide obstacles.  
3. Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed setting so  
that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.  
Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes  
are functioning properly. Always keep machine in gear  
when going down slopes to take advantage of engine  
braking action.  
4. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel  
weights or counterweights to improve stability.  
5. Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments.  
These can change the stability of the machine.  
6. 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.  
f. Keep children away from hot or running engines.  
They can suffer burns from a hot muffler.  
g. Remove key when machine is unattended to  
prevent unauthorized operation.  
8. Never allow children under 14 years to operate the  
machine. Children 14 years old and over should read and  
understand the operation and safety rules in this manual  
and should be trained and supervised by a parent.  
Towing  
1. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for  
towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the  
hitch point.  
2. Follow the manufacturers recommendation for weight  
limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.  
3. Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.  
4. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause  
loss of traction and loss of control.  
7. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,  
disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down  
the slope.  
Do Not:  
5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.  
6. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.  
1. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly  
and gradually downhill, if possible.  
2. 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, ditch, or if an edge caves in.  
3. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on  
the ground.

4. Check brake operation frequently as it is subjected to  
wear during normal operation. Adjust and service as  
required.  
5. Check the blade(s) and engine mounting bolts at  
frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually  
inspect blade(s) for damage (e.g., excessive wear, bent,  
cracked).  
c. When practical, remove gas-powered equipment  
from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground.  
If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment  
on a trailer with a portable container, rather than  
from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.  
d. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel  
container opening at all times until fueling is  
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.  
e. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other  
sources of ignition.  
Replace the blade(s) with the original equipment

Thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage. Repair  
the damage before starting and operating.  
10. Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs to the  
machine while the engine is running.  
11. Grass catcher components and the discharge cover are  
subject to wear and damage which could expose moving  
parts or allow objects to be thrown.  
g. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the  
engine is hot or running. Allow engine to cool at  
least two minutes before refueling.  
h. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than  
½ inch below bottom of filler neck to allow space  
for fuel expansion.  
i. Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.  
j. If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and  
equipment. Move unit to another area. Wait 5  
minutes before starting the engine.  
k. To reduce fire hazards, keep machine free of  
grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up  
oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel soaked  
debris.  
l. Never store the machine or fuel container inside  
where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light  
as on a water heater, space heater, furnace,  
clothes dryer or other gas appliances.  
For safety protection, frequently check components and  
replace immediately with original equipment

(OFF) position, the tractor’s engine will automatically  
shut off, regardless of whether the parking brake is  
engaged or not  
The following information will be helpful when using the  
cutting deck with your tractor.  
WARNING: Plan your mowing pattern to  
avoid discharge of materials toward roads,  
sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also, avoid  
discharging material against a wall or  
obstruction which may cause discharged  
material to ricochet back toward the operator.  
•
On units equipped with electric PTO, pull the  
PTO knob outward to engage power to the cutting  
deck. Push the PTO knob inward to disengage  
power to the cutting deck  
•
•
Do not mow at high ground speed, especially if a  
mulch kit or grass collector is installed.  
For best results it is recommended that the first two  
laps be cut with the discharge thrown towards the  
center. After the first two laps, reverse the direction  
to throw the discharge to the outside for the  
balance of cutting. This will give a better  
appearance to the lawn.  
•
Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass invites  
weed growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.

Lower Drive Belt  
•
Model 808K only: Remove the hex bolt from the  
center of the electric PTO clutch and gently lower it  
off the engine crankshaft. Be careful not to lose any  
washers or which may be found on top of the PTO  
clutch.  
NOTE: Proper removal of the lower drive belt requires  
the removal of several tractor components. Read  
through the following procedure prior to attempting it;  
determine if you can successfully complete it.  
Otherwise, see an authorized service dealer for the job.  
IMPORTANT: When remounting the PTO clutch, torque  
the center hex bolt to between 38 foot-pounds and 50  
foot-pounds.  
IMPORTANT: Note the routing of the lower drive belt  
around both the pulleys and the belt keepers before  
performing the following steps.  
•
Remove the drive belt by feeding it from both ends  
toward the front idler pulley on the double-idler  
bracket. See figures above.  
Reassemble by following the above steps in  
reverse order.  
Reroute the new belt around the pulleys, belt  
keepers and keeper pins exactly as the old one was  
routed. Refer to Figure 16.  
•
Locate the variable-speed pulley through the  
battery tray opening. See Figure 16.  
Remove the variable-speed pulley by loosening the  
hex bolt that secures it to the transmission. Use a  
second wrench to hold the hex nut on the bottom  
side of the pulley.  
Slide the belt off the variable-speed pulley as you  
lift the pulley up and out through the battery tray  
opening.

See Figure 18.  
•
•
Remove the drive pedal return spring.  
Using two 9/16" wrenches, remove the pin from the  
speed control assembly. See Figure 18.  
Thread the idler adjustment rod inward or outward  
to lengthen or shorten the travel of the double-idler  
bracket until proper adjustment is achieved.  
Reassemble by following the above steps in  
reverse order.  
Spindle Assembly  
Figure 19  
•
•
•
•
Use a 15/16" wrench to remove the hex flange nut  
that secures the blade to the spindle assembly. See  
Figure 19.  
To properly sharpen the cutting blades, remove  
equal amounts of metal from both ends of the  
blades along the cutting edges, parallel to the  
trailing edge, at a 25° to 30° angle. See Figure 20.  
Tires  
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. See Figure 20.  
WARNING: Never exceed the maximum  
inflation pressure shown on the tire sidewall.  
Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer’s  
recommended or maximum psi. Do not overinflate.

•
Grind each cutting blade edge equally to maintain  
proper blade balance.  
•
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. One fuse is  
located under the hood mounted behind the top of  
the dash panel on the support bar. The other can  
be found under the seat mounted to the inside of  
the tractor frame next to the battery tray. Pull the  
fuse out and inspect it to determine if it is good or  
blown. Replace if necessary.  
WARNING: A poorly balanced blade will  
cause excessive vibration, may damage the  
tractor and cause personal injury.  
•
•
Test the blade by balancing it on a round shaft  
screwdriver. Grind metal from the heavy side until it  
balances evenly.  
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: Always use a fuse with the same  
amperage capacity for replacement.  
Battery  
IMPORTANT: Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade  
spindle hex flange nut to between 70 foot-pounds and  
90 foot-pounds.  
The battery is sealed and is maintenance-free. Acid  
levels cannot be checked.  
•
Always keep the battery cables and terminals clean  
and free of corrosive build-up.  
After cleaning the battery and terminals, apply a  
light coat of petroleum jelly or grease to both  
terminals.  
Blade Separation  
•
IMPORTANT: Always keep the rubber boot positioned  
over the positive terminal to prevent shorting.  
Worn Blade Edge  
Wind Wing  
IMPORTANT: If removing the battery for any reason,  
disconnect the negative (black) wire from its 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 polarity  
and damage the engine’s alternating system.  
Sharpen Edge Evenly  
Figure 20  
WARNING: Before servicing, repairing, or  
inspecting, always disengage PTO, move shift  
lever into neutral position, set parking brake,  
stop engine and remove key to prevent  
unintended starting.  
Charging  
If the tractor 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 one hour at 6 amps.  
Fuses  
WARNING: Batteries give off an explosive  
gas while charging. Charge battery in a well  
ventilated area and keep away from an open  
flame or pilot light as on a water heater, space  
heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas  
appliances.  
Two fuses are installed in your tractor’s wiring harness  
to protect the tractor’s electrical system from damage  
caused by excessive amperage.
