23. Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a  
burn. Do not touch.  
4. Follow the manufacturers 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.  
7. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose  
traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed  
slowly straight down the slope.  
24. Check overhead clearances carefully before driving  
under low hanging tree branches, wires, door  
openings etc., where the operator may be struck or  
pulled from the unit, which could result in serious  
injury.  
25. Disengage all attachment clutches, depress the  
brake pedal completely and shift into neutral before  
attempting to start engine.  
26. Your machine is designed to cut normal residential  
grass of a height no more than 10. Do not attempt  
to mow 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.  
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.  
DO NOT:  
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. Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.  
5. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could  
cause sliding.  
29. If situations occur which are not covered in this  
manual, use care and good judgment. Contact an  
authorized Service Dealer for assistance.  
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.  
7. Do not tow heavy pull behind 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 are reduced,  
attachment may jack-knife and cause tractor to  
overturn).  
SLOPE OPERATION  
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.  
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.  
DO:  
1. Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise  
extreme caution when changing direction on  
slopes.  
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.  
a. Keep children out of the mowing area and in  
watchful care of a responsible adult other  
than the operator.  
b. Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters  
the area.  
c. Before and while backing, look behind and  
down for small children.  
d. Never carry children, even with the blade(s)  
shut off. They may fall off and be seriously  
injured or interfere with safe machine  
operation.

e. 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.  
f. 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.  
e. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and  
other sources of ignition.  
f. Never fuel machine indoors.  
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.  
g. Keep children away from hot or running  
engines. They can suffer burns from a hot  
muffler.  
h. Remove key when machine is unattended to  
prevent unauthorized operation.  
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  
9. Never allow children under 14 years old to operate  
the machine. Children 14 years old and over should  
read and understand the operation instructions 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.  
appliances.  
m. Allow a machine to cool at least 5 minutes  
before storing.  
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.  
5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.  
6. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.  
GENERAL SERVICE:  
1. Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly  
ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon  
monoxide, an odorless, and deadly gas.  
2. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make  
certain the blade(s) and all moving parts have  
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and  
ground against the engine to prevent unintended  
starting.  
3. Periodically check to make sure the blades come to  
complete stop within approximately (5) five  
seconds after operating the blade disengagement  
control. If the blades do not stop within the this time  
frame, your unit should be serviced professionally  
by an authorized Service Dealer.  
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).  
Replace the blade(s) with the original equipment  
manufacturers (O.E.M.) blade(s) only, listed in this  
manual. Use of parts which do not meet the  
original equipment specifications may lead to  
improper performance and compromise safety!”  
6. Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear  
gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.  
7. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the  
equipment is in safe working condition.  
SERVICE  
SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE:  
1. To avoid personal injury or property damage  
use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is  
extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.  
Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline is  
spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite.  
Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.  
a. Use only an approved gasoline container.  
b. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a  
truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always  
place containers on the ground away from  
your vehicle before filling.  
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 tank or container opening at all times  
until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle  
lock-open device.

8. Never tamper with the safety interlock system or  
other safety devices. Check their proper operation  
regularly.  
9. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine,  
disconnect the spark plug wire(s) and ground  
against the engine. 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.  
For safety protection, frequently check components  
and replace immediately with original equipment  
manufacturers (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this  
manual. Use of parts which do not meet the  
original equipment specifications may lead to

IMPORTANT: The electric PTO clutch will automatically  
shut off if the PTO is engaged with the shift lever in  
position for reverse travel. Refer to Safety Interlock  
Switches on page 13.  
Mowing  
Once engaged, the cruise control button and the  
drive pedal will lock in the downposition, and the  
tractor will maintain the same forward speed.  
WARNING: To help avoid blade contact or  
a thrown object injury, keep bystanders,  
helpers, children and pets at least 75 feet  
from the machine while it is in operation. Stop  
machine if anyone enters the area.  
NOTE: Cruise control can not be engaged at the  
tractors fastest ground speed. If the operator should  
attempt to do so, the tractor will automatically  
decelerate to the fastest optimal mowing ground speed.  
The following information will be helpful when using the  
cutting deck with your tractor.  
Disengage the cruise control using one of the following  
methods:  
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.  
Depress the brake pedal to disengage the cruise  
control and stop the tractor.  
Lightly depress the drive pedal.  
To change to the reverse direction when operating with  
cruise control, depress the brake pedal to disengage  
the cruise control and bring the tractor to a complete  
stop. Then place the shift lever in the REVERSE  
position and depress the drive pedal.  
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.  
Mowing should always be done with the engine at  
full throttle.  
Under heavier conditions it may be necessary to go  
back over the cut area a second time to get a clean  
cut.  
Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds  
and extremely tall grass. Your tractor is designed to  
mow lawns, NOT clear brush.  
Using the Deck Lift Lever  
To raise the cutting deck, move the deck lift lever to the  
left, then place it in the notch best suited for your  
application. Refer to Setting The Cutting Height earlier in  
this section.  
Engaging the PTO  
Engaging the PTO transfers power to the cutting deck  
or other (separately available) attachments. To engage  
the PTO, proceed as follows:  
Move the throttle control lever to the FAST (rabbit)  
position.  
Pull the PTO knob outward into the engaged (ON)  
position. See Figure 9.

loosen the lock nuts to lower the front of the deck.  
Retighten the two jam nuts loosened earlier when  
proper adjustment is achieved.  
NOTE: Threading the ball joints too far onto the drag  
links will cause the front tires to "toe-in" too far. Proper  
toe-in is between 1/16" and 5/16".  
Front tire toe-in can be measured as follows:  
Place the steering wheel in position for straight  
ahead travel.  
In front of the axle, measure the distance  
horizontally from the inside of the left rim to the  
inside of the right rim. Note the distance.  
Behind the axle, measure the distance horizontally  
from the inside of the left rim to the inside of the  
right rim. Note the distance.  
The measurement taken in front of the axle should  
be between 1/16" and 5/16" less than the  
measurement taken behind the axle. Adjust if  
necessary.  
Side to Side  
If the cutting deck appears to be mowing unevenly, a  
side to side adjustment can be performed. Adjust if  
necessary as follows:  
With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface,  
place the deck lift lever in the top notch (highest  
position) and rotate both blades so that they are  
perpendicular with the tractor.  
Measure the distance from the outside of the left  
blade tip to the ground and the distance from the  
outside of the right blade tip to the ground. Both  
measurements taken should be equal. If theyre  
not, proceed to the next step.  
Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex cap screw on  
the left deck hanger bracket. See Figure 11B.  
Balance the deck by using a wrench to turn the  
adjustment gear (found immediately behind the hex  
cap screw just loosened) clockwise/up or  
counterclockwise/down.  
The deck is properly balanced when both blade tip  
measurements taken earlier are equal.  
Retighten the hex cap screw on the left deck  
hanger bracket when proper adjustment is  
achieved.  
Leveling the Deck  
NOTE: Check the tractors tire pressure before  
performing any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to  
Tires on page 24 for information regarding tire pressure.  
Front To Rear  
The front of the cutting deck is supported by a stabilizer  
bar that can adjusted to level the deck from front to rear.  
The front of the deck should be between 1/4-inch and  
3/8-inch lower than the rear of the deck. Adjust if  
necessary as follows:  
With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface,  
place the deck lift lever in the top notch (highest  
position) and rotate the blade nearest the discharge  
chute so that it is parallel with the tractor.  
Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip  
to the ground and the rear of the blade tip to the  
ground.

Idler  
Adjuster Rod  
Remove the hex bolt from the center of the electric  
PTO clutch and gently lower it off of the engine  
crankshaft. Be careful not to lose any washers or  
which may be found on top of the PTO clutch.  
IMPORTANT: When remounting the PTO clutch, torque  
the center hex bolt to between 38 foot-pounds and 50  
foot-pounds.  
Front of Tractor  
NOTE: View shown from above tractor.  
Remove the drive belt by feeding it from both ends  
toward the front idler pulley on the double-idler  
bracket. See Figure 17.  
Figure 19  
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 17.  
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.  
The drive pedal is properly adjusted when the hole  
found in the double-idler bracket has approximately  
1-3/8" of travel with ten pounds of pressure applied to  
the drive pedal. See Figure 19.  
Adjust the drive pedal after replacing the drive belts on  
your tractor, if necessary, as follows:  
Tires  
Locate the speed control assembly on the  
underside of the steering support bracket. See  
Figure 19.  
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 18.  
WARNING: Never exceed the maximum  
inflation pressure shown on the sidewall of the  
tire.  
Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturers  
recommended or maximum psi. Do not overinflate.  
Uneven tire pressure could cause the cutting deck to  
mow unevenly.

Cutting Blades  
Blade Separation  
WARNING: Be sure to shut the engine off,  
remove ignition key, disconnect the spark  
plug wire(s) and ground against the engine to  
prevent unintended starting before removing  
the cutting blade(s) for sharpening or  
replacement. Protect your hands by using  
heavy gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting  
blade.  
Worn Blade Edge  
Wind Wing  
WARNING: Periodically inspect the blade  
adapter and/or spindle for cracks or damage,  
especially if you strike a foreign object.  
Replace immediately if damaged.  
The blades may be removed as follows.  
Sharpen Edge Evenly  
Figure 21  
Remove the deck from beneath the tractor, (refer to  
Cutting Deck Removal on page 19) then gently flip the  
deck over to expose its underside.  
It is important that each cutting blade edge be ground  
equally to maintain proper blade balance. A poorly  
balanced blade will cause excessive vibration and may  
cause damage to the tractor and result in personal  
injury.  
Place a block of wood between the center deck  
housing baffle and the cutting blade to act as a  
stabilizer. See Figure 20.  
Hex Flange Nut  
Wood Block  
The blade can be tested 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: Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade  
spindle hex flange nut to between 70 foot-pounds and  
90 foot-pounds.  
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.  
Spindle Assembly  
Figure 20  
Use a 15/16" wrench to remove the hex flange nut  
that secures the blade to the spindle assembly. See  
Figure 20.  
Fuses  
Two fuses are installed in your tractors wiring harness  
to protect the tractors electrical system from damage  
caused by excessive amperage.  
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 21.  
If the electrical system does not function, or your  
tractors engine will not crank, first check to be certain  
that the fuse has not blown.  
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 21.  
One can be found 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.  
IMPORTANT: Always use a fuse with the same  
amperage capacity for replacement.

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  
engines alternating system.  
Battery  
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.  
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 of one hour at six  
amps.  
After cleaning the battery and terminals, apply a  
light coat of petroleum jelly or grease to both  
terminals  
Always keep the rubber boot positioned over the  
positive terminal to prevent shorting.  
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.  
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  
SECTION 9: OFF-SEASON STORAGE
