SAFETY RULES  
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers  
•
•
•
•
•
Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing.  
Look for this symbol to point out im-  
portant safety precautions. It means  
CAUTION!!! BECOMEALERT!!! YOUR  
SAFETY IS INVOLVED.  
Stop machine if anyone enters the area.  
Never carry passengers or children even with the blades  
off.  
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Al-  
ways 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.  
CAUTION: Inordertopreventacciden-  
talstartingwhensettingup,transport-  
ing, adjusting or making repairs, al-  
ways disconnect spark plug wire and  
placewirewhereitcannotcontactspark  
plug.  
•
•
Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.  
Before and when backing, look behind and down for small  
children.  
•
•
•
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  
overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.  
CAUTION: Do not coast down a hill in  
neutral, you may lose control of the  
tractor.  
•
•
Useslowspeed. Choosealowgearsothatyouwillnothave  
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.  
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn  
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.  
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.

“START” position and release key as soon as engine  
starts. Do not run starter continuously for more than  
fifteen seconds per minute. If the engine does not start  
afterseveralattempts,pushchokecontrolin,waitafew  
minutes and try again. If engine still does not start, pull  
the choke control out and retry.  
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL  
•
The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the  
factory, already filled with summer weight oil.  
•
•
Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.  
Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the  
dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds,  
remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until  
“FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.  
WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)  
•
When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until  
the engine begins to run smoothly. If the engine starts  
torunroughly,pullthechokecontroloutslightlyforafew

The attachments and ground drive can now be used. If  
the engine does not accept the load, restart the engine  
and allow it to warm up for one minute using the choke  
as described above.  
•
•
For cold weather operation you should change oil for  
easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the  
Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).  
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.  
•
When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until

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

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.  
IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION  
REQUIRE REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT,  
IT SHOULD BE PURGED AFTER REINSTALLATION  
BEFORE OPERATING THE TRACTOR.

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

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

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

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.
