SAFETY RULES
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers
•
Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop
machine if anyone enters the area.
WARNING: Do not coast down a hill in
neutral, you may lose control of the trac-
tor.
•
•
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.
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.
WARNING: Tow only the attachments
that are recommended by and comply
withspecificationsofthemanufacturerof
your tractor. Use common sense when
towing. Operate only at the lowest pos-
siblespeedwhenonaslope. Tooheavyof
a load, while on a slope, is dangerous.

•
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.
NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting
proceduresbelow.
•
•
For cold weather operation you should change oil for
easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the
Maintenance section of this manual).
To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in
this manual.
•
Insert key into ignition and turn key clockwise to
“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

the choke control out and retry.
ADD GASOLINE
•
Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill. Use
fresh,clean,regularunleadedgasolinewithaminimum
of 87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase
carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life).
Donotmixoilwithgasoline. Purchasefuelinquantities

MOWING TIPS
•
Beforedrivingtheunitincoldweather,thetransmission
should be warmed up as follows:
•
Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing
performance. See “TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING” in
the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.
Thelefthandsideofmowershouldbeusedfortrimming.
Drivesothatclippingsaredischargedontotheareathat
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.
•
•
Be sure the tractor is on level ground.
Release the parking brake and let the brake slowly
return to operating position.
•
•
•
Allowoneminutefortransmissiontowarmup.This
can be done during the engine warm up period.
•
The attachments can be used during the engine warm-
up period after the transmission has been warmed up
andmayrequirethechokecontrolbepulledoutslightly.
•
•
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.
NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold
temperatures (below 32 F) the carburetor fuel mixture may
need to be adjusted for best engine performance. See “TO
ADJUST CARBURETOR” in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual.
PURGE TRANSMISSION
•
•
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.
CAUTION: Never engage or disengage
freewheel lever while the engine is run-
ning.
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
trapped air inside the transmission which may have devel-
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.

NOTE: Wedonotrecommendsharpeningblade-butifyou
do, be sure the blade is balanced.
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
corrosion.
OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM
Be sure operator presence and interlock systems are
working properly. If your tractor does not function as
described, repairtheproblemimmediately.
Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An
unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration and even-
tual damage to mower and engine.
•
The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grinding
wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the mower.
•
•
•
•
The engine should not start unless the brake pedal is
fullydepressedandattachementclutchcontrolisinthe
disengagedposition.
•
To check blade balance, you will need a 5/8" diameter
steel bolt, pin, or a cone balancer. (When using a cone
balancer,followtheinstructionssuppliedwithbalancer.)
When the engine is running, any attempt by the
operator to leave the seat without first setting the
parking brake should shut off the engine.
Whentheengineisrunningandtheattachmentclutch
is engaged, any attempt by the operator to leave the
seat should shut off the engine.

FUEL SYSTEM
WARNING: Neverstorethetractorwith
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

Use fresh fuel next season.
•
Clean entire tractor (See “CLEANING” in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual).
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.
•
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.
