•
•
Never carry passengers or children even with the blades off.
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always
look down and behind before and while backing.
•
•
Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or interfere with safe machine operation.
Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful
care of another responsible adult.
Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.
Before and when backing, look behind and down for small
children.
CAUTION: Inordertopreventacciden-
talstartingwhensettingup,transport-
ing, adjusting or making repairs, al-
ways disconnect spark plug wire and

•
•
•
•
Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could over-
turn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will not have
to stop or shift while on the slope.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the
slope.
If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades, shift
into reverse and back down slowly.
CAUTION: Do not coast down a hill in
neutral, you may lose control of the
tractor.
•
•
CAUTION: Tow only the attachments
that are recommended by and comply
withspecificationsofthemanufacturer
of your tractor. Use common sense
when towing. Operate only at the low-
est possible speed when on a slope.
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 change engine oil, see the Customer Responsibili-
ties section in this manual.

ADD GASOLINE
COLD WEATHER STARTING (50° F and below)
•
Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum of 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 in quantities that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.

MOWING TIPS
•
•
Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing is
attached to tractor.
CAUTION: Neverengageordisengage

running.
Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing
performance. See“TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING”in
the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

This will result in a more even distribution of clippings
and more uniform cutting.
•
•
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
trappedairinsidethetransmissionwhichmayhavedevel-
oped during shipping of your tractor.

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. 12).
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
desiredheight.
Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug
mowerandleaveundesirableclumps. Allowgrasstodry
beforemowing.
Alwaysoperateengineatfullthrottlewhenmowing
to assure better mowing performance and proper dis-
chargeofmaterial. Regulategroundspeedbyselecting
a low enough gear to give the mower cutting perfor-
mance as well as the quality of cut desired.
When operating attachments, select a ground speed

Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An
unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration and even-

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to
slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local
parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and

To insure proper cooling, make sure the grass screen,
cooling fins, and other external surfaces of the engine are
kept clean at all times.
FIG. 15
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid
possible engine damage from running low on oil.
Every 100 hours of operation (more often under extremely
dusty, dirty conditions), remove the blower housing and
other cooling shrouds. Clean the cooling fins and external
surfaces as necessary. Make sure the cooling shrouds are
reinstalled.
Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at least
onceayearifthetractorisnotusedfor50hoursinoneyear.
NOTE: Operating the engine with a blocked grass screen,

ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
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.
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.
TRACTOR
Removemowerfromtractorforwinterstorage. Whenmower
is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thoroughly,
remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry
area.
•
•
Drain the fuel tank.
Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetorareempty.
•
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
•
Cleanentiretractor(See“CLEANING”intheCustomer
Responsibilities section of this manual).
•
Use fresh fuel next season.
•
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 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.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in
minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor-
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 stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do
not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand
lightly before painting.

to distribute oil.
•
•
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.
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.
•
•
Ifpossible,storeyourtractorindoorsandcoverittogive
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: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE
AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
