SAFETY RULES  
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers  
GENERAL SERVICE  
III. CHILDREN  
•
•
Never operate machine in a closed area.  
Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment  
is in safe working condition.  
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper  
operation regularly.  
Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris  
build-up. Cleanoilorfuelspillageandremoveanyfuel-  
soaked debris. Allow machine to cool before storing.  
If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the  
machine. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.  
Nevermakeanyadjustmentsorrepairswiththeengine  
running.  
Check grass catcher components and the discharge  
guard frequently and replace with manufacturer's rec-  
ommended parts, when necessary.  
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. Never assume that  
children will remain where you last saw them.  
•
•
•
•
•
•
Keepchildrenoutofthemowingareaandinthewatchful  
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.  
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the  
area.  
Before and while backing, look behind and down for  
small children.  
Nevercarrychildren,evenwiththebladesshutoff. They  
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with  
safemachineoperation.Childrenwhohavebeengiven  
rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing  
area for another ride and be run over or backed over  
by the machine.  
Never allow children to operate the machine.  
Useextracarewhenapproachingblindcorners,shrubs,  
trees, or other objects that may block your view of a  
child.  
•
•
•
•
•
•
Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear  
gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.  
Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service  
as required.  
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as  
necessary.  
•
•
IV. TOWING  
•
Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for  
towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the  
hitch point.  
•
•
•
•
Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight  
limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.  
Never allow children or others in or on towed equip-  
ment.  
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may  
cause loss of traction and loss of control.  
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.  
•
Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operat-  
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.

V. SERVICE  
SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE  
•
Nevercarrychildren,evenwiththebladesshutoff. They  
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with  
safemachineoperation.Childrenwhohavebeengiven  
rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing  
area for another ride and be run over or backed over  
by the machine.  
Keepchildrenoutofthemowingareaandinthewatchful  
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.  
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the  
area.  
Before and while backing, look behind and down for  
small children.  
Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.  
Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have  
to stop or shift while on the slope.  
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the  
tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed  
slowly straight down the slope.  
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme  
careinhandlinggasoline. Gasolineisextremelyflammable  
and the vapors are explosive.  
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other  
sources of ignition.  
•
•
•
•
•
Use only approved gasoline container.  
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine run-  
ning. Allow engine to cool before refueling.  
Never fuel the machine indoors.  
Never store the machine or fuel container where there  
is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water  
heater or other appliances.  
•
•
•
•
•
•
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or  
trailer bed with plastic liner. Always place containers  
on the ground away from your vehicle when filling.  
Removegas-poweredequipmentfromthetruckortrailer  
and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then  
refuel such equipment with a portable container, rather  
than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.  
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank  
orcontaineropeningatalltimesuntilfuelingiscomplete.  
Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.  
•
•
•
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.  
•
•
•
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi-  
ately.  
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten  
securely.

OPERATION  
The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result  
in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your tractor  
or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide  
vision safety mask worn over spectacles.  
IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch in any position  
other than "STOP" will cause the battery to discharge and  
go dead.  
HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR  
TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 14)  
NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing  
idlewiththeenginerunning, hotengineexhaustgasesmay  
cause “browning” of grass. To eliminate this possibility, al-  
ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.  
Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens-  
ing switch. When engine is running, any attempt by the  
operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking  
brake will shut off the engine.

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 first cut  
relatively high; the second to desired height.  
J
TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 19)  
Gaugewheels areproperlyadjustedwhentheyareslightly  
off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height  
in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck

SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS  
•
With mower in desired height of cut position, gauge  
wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off  
the ground. Install gauge wheel in appropriate hole.  
Tighten securely.  
The cruise control should only be used while mowing or  
transporting on relatively smooth, straight surfaces. Other  
conditions such as trimming at slow speeds may cause the  
cruise control to disengage. Do not use the cruise control  
on slopes, rough terrian or while trimmimg or turning.  
•
Repeat for all, installing gauge wheel in same adjust-  
ment hole.  
•
With forward drive pedal depressed to desired speed,  
pull cruise control lever (J) up and hold while lifting  
your foot off the pedal, then release the lever.  
To disengage the cruise control, depress the brake pedal  
or tap on forward drive pedal.  
TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

Pull freewheel control out and down into the slot and  
release so it is held in the disengaged position.  
Do not push or tow tractor at more than two (2)  
MPH.  
To reengage transmission, reverse above procedure.  
REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)  
Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System  
(ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse  
direction with the attachment clutch engaged will shut off  
the engine unless ignition key is placed in the ROS "ON"  
position.  
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.).  
WARNING: Backing up with the attachment clutch en-  
gaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the  
ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment  
clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator  
decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the  
attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless  
absolutely necessary.

ENGINE "ON" POSITION  
(NORMAL OPERATING)  
NOTE: Service reminder runs when the ignition key is in  
any position but "STOP". For accurate reading, be sure  
key remains in the "STOP" position when engine is not  
running.  
TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS  
Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and  
complywithspecificationsofthemanufacturerofyourtrac-  
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.  
TO OPERATE ON HILLS  
CAUTION: Donotdriveupordownhills  
with slopes greater than 15° and do not  
drive across any slope.  
•
Choose the slowest speed before starting up or down

•
•
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 distribution of  
clippings and more uniform cutting.  
•
CAUTION: At any time, during step 4,  
there may be movement of the drive  
wheels.  
•
Whenmowinglargeareas,startbyturningtotherightso  
that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences,  
driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the  
opposite direction making left hand turns until finished  
(See Fig. 22).  
•
Depress forward drive pedal to full forward position,  
hold for five (5) seconds and release pedal. Depress  
reverse drive pedal to full reverse position, hold for five  
(5) seconds and release pedal. Repeat this procedure  
three (3) times.  
•
•
Shut- off engine and set parking brake.  
Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in  
engaged position (See “TO TRANSPORT” in this sec-  
tion of manual).  
•
•
Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine  
is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed.  
Disengage parking brake.  
Drive tractor forward for approximately five feet then  
backwards for five feet. Repeat this driving procedure  
three times.  
FIG. 22  
•
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to  
reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip-  
pings. Make first cut relatively high; the second to the  
desired height.  
Your transmission is now purged and now ready for normal  
operation.  
•
•
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  
discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by se-  
lecting 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.

•
•
•
Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and let it run  
until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.  
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the  
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.  
•
Clean entire tractor (See “CLEANING” in the Mainte-  
nance section of this manual).  
Use fresh fuel next season.  
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in mini-  
mizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.  
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 empty  
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.  
•
Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re-  
placement instructions in the Service and Adjustments  
section of this manual).  
•
•
Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance 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.  
ENGINE OIL  
•
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand  
lightly before painting.  
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean en-  
gine oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of  
this manual).  
BATTERY  
•
•
CYLINDER(S)  
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 cables should be dis-  
connected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see “TO  
CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS” in the Mainte-  
nance section of this manual).  
•
•
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).  
•
•
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.  
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: NEVERCOVERTRACTORWHILEENGINE AND  
EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
