contact or thrown object injuries.  
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.  
13. Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel drives, walks, or  
roads and while not cutting grass.  
14. Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing  
roadways. This machine is not intended for use on any  
public roadway.  
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this  
manual to measure slopes before operating this machine on  
a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees as  
shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this machine on that  
area or serious injury could result.  
15. Do not operate the machine while under the influence of  
alcohol or drugs.  
16. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.  
17. Never carry passengers.  
Do:  
1.  
Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme  
caution when changing direction on slopes.  
18. Disengage blade(s) before shifting into reverse. Back up  
slowly. Always look down and behind before and while  
backing to avoid a back-over accident.  
2.  
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden  
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall  
grass can hide obstacles.  
19. Slow down before turning. Operate the machine smoothly.  
Avoid erratic operation and excessive speed.  
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.  
20. Disengage blade(s), set parking brake, stop engine and wait  
until the blade(s) come to a complete stop before removing  
grass catcher, emptying grass, unclogging chute, removing  
any grass or debris, or making any adjustments.  
21. Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn  
off blade(s), place transmission in neutral, set parking  
brake, stop engine and remove key before dismounting.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel  
weights or counterweights to improve stability.  
22. Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into  
a trailer or truck. This machine should not be driven up or  
down ramp(s), because the machine could tip over, causing  
serious personal injury. The machine must be pushed  
manually on ramp(s) to load or unload properly.  
Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments.  
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. Rapid  
engagement or braking could cause the front of the  
machine to lift and rapidly flip over backwards which could  
cause serious injury.  
23. Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do  
not touch.  
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  
machine, which could result in 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.  
25. Disengage all attachment clutches, depress the brake  
pedal completely and shift into neutral before attempting  
to start engine.  
Do Not:  
1.  
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly  
and gradually downhill, if possible.  
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.  
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.  
5.  
Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.  
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.  
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause  
sliding.  
6.  
7.  
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.  
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 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).  
29. If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use  
care and good judgment. Contact your customer service  
representative for assistance.

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.  
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.  
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  
path of the machine.  
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.  
f.  
To avoid back-over accidents, always disengage  
the cutting blade(s) before shifting into Reverse. If  
equipped, the “Reverse Caution Mode” should not  
be used when children or others are around.  
e. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other

leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel  
spillage and remove any fuel soaked debris.  
2.  
Follow the manufacturers recommendation for weight  
limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.  
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.  
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.  
m. Allow a machine to cool at least five minutes before  
storing.  
5.  
Always use extra caution when towing with a machine  
capable of making tight turns (e.g. “zero-turn” ride-on  
mower). Make wide turns to avoid jack-knifing.  
General Service  
1.  
Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.  
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless,  
and deadly gas.  
6.  
7.

Tractor Set-Up  
Moving The Tractor Manually  
CAUTION: When attaching battery cables, always  
connect the POSITIVE (red) wire to its terminal first,  
followed by the NEGATIVE (black) wire.  
Your tractor’s transmission is equipped with a hydrostatic  
relief valve for occasions when it is necessary to move the  
tractor manually. Opening this valve permits the fluid in the  
transmission to bypass its normal route, allowing the rear tires  
to “freewheel.” To open the hydrostatic relief valve, proceed as  
follows:  
For shipping reasons, both battery cables on your equipment  
may have been left disconnected from the terminals at the  
factory. To connect the battery cables, proceed as follows:  
NOTE: The positive battery terminal is marked Positive (+). The  
negative battery terminal is marked Negative (–).  
1.

Lift Handle Adjustment (If so equipped)  
The effort required to operate the implement lift handle can be  
varied by loosening or tightening the lift assist spring adjusting  
bolt on the left side of the tractor. See Figure 6-9.

Decrease effort  
Adjustment Bolt  
Figure 6-9  
NOTE: The deck and/or attachment should be installed before  
making adjustments to this spring.  
Place the deck/attachment into the lowest position for making  
adjustments. This ensures that the spring is extended the furthest.  
The bolt can be accessed from the rear of the tractor, inside the left  
rear wheel. Turning adjusting bolt clockwise will decrease the manual  
effort required for lifting attachments; turning counterclockwise will  
increase the effort needed to lift the attachment.  
NOTE: Overtightening of the spring could cause the deck to  
float and/or fail out of the notches. There should always be a  
downward/forward bias on the lever for proper operation.
