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 a wide vision safety mask over spectacles  
or standard safety glasses.  
NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing  
HOW TO USEYOUR TRACTOR  
idlewiththeenginerunning, hotengineexhaustgasesmay  
cause “browning” of grass. To eliminate this possibility, al-  
ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.  
TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 5)  
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.  
CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-  
pletely,asdescribedabove,beforeleav-  
ing the operator's position; to empty  
grass catcher, etc.

Depress clutch/brake pedal into full “BRAKE” position  
and hold.  
•
Place parking brake lever in“ENGAGED”position and  
releasepressurefromclutch/brakepedal. Pedalshould  
remain in “BRAKE” position. Make sure parking brake  
will hold tractor secure.  
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 5)  
Always operate engine at full throttle.  
•
•
Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the  
battery charging rate.  
Full throttle offers the best bagging and mower perfor-  
mance.

during hot months. For healthier and better looking  
lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.  
•
Move throttle control to slow position.  
NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to slow position and  
allowing engine to idle before stopping may cause engine  
to “backfire”.  
•
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.  
•
Turn ignition key to “OFF” position and remove key.  
Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent  
unauthorized use.  
•
Never use choke to stop engine.

gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can at-  
tract moisture which leads to separation and  
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas  
can damage the fuel system of an engine while  
in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel  
system should be emptied before storage of  
30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start  
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines  
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next  
season. SeeStorageInstructionsforadditional  
information. Never use engine or carburetor  
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent  
damage may occur.  
•
•
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.  
•
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. 7).  
TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 5)  
When starting the engine for the first time or if the engine  
has run out of fuel, it will take extra cranking time to move  
fuel from the tank to the engine.  
•
Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake  
pedal and set parking brake.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting  
procedures below.  
•
Insertkeyintoignitionandturnkeyclockwiseto“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 after  
several attempts, move throttle control to fast position,  
wait a few minutes and try again. If engine still does  
not start, move the throttle control back to the choke (  
) position and retry.

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.  
WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)  
•
•
Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug  
mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to  
dry before mowing.  
•
When engine starts, move the throttle control to the  
fast position.  
•
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.  
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.  
COLD WEATHER STARTING ( 50° F and below)  
•
•
Whenenginestarts,allowenginetorunwiththethrottle  
control in the choke ( ) position until the engine runs  
roughly, then move throttle control to fast position.This  
may require an engine warm-up period from several  
seconds to several minutes, depending on the tem-  
perature.  
•
The attachments can also be used during the engine  
warm-up period.  
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.

AIR FILTER  
FIG. 10  
Your engine will not run properly using a dirty air filter.  
Service air cleaner more often under dusty conditions.  
See Engine Manual.  
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.  
ENGINE OIL FILTER  
Replace the engine oil filter every season or every other  
oil change if the tractor is used more than 100 hours in  
one year.  
Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at least  
once a year if the tractor is not used for 50 hours in one  
year.  
CLEAN AIR INTAKE/COOLING AREAS  
To insure proper cooling, make sure the grass screen,  
cooling fins, and other external surfaces of the engine are  
kept clean at all times.  
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine  
and after each eight (8) hours of operation. Tighten oil fill  
cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.  
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Figs. 10 and 11)  
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.  
Determine temperature range expected before oil change.  
All oil must meet API service classification SF-SJ.  
•
•
•
•
Be sure tractor is on level surface.  
Oil will drain more freely when warm.  
Catch oil in a suitable container.  
Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt  
to enter the engine when changing oil.  
NOTE: Operating the engine with a blocked grass screen,  
dirtyorpluggedcoolingfins,and/orcoolingshroudsremoved  
will cause engine damage due to overheating.  
•

age.  
SPARK PLUGS  
Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each mowing sea-  
son or after every 100 hours of use, whichever comes first.  
Spark plug type and gap setting is shown in "PRODUCT  
SPECIFICATIONS" section of this manual.  
IN-LINE FUEL FILTER (See Fig. 12)  
The fuel filter should be replaced once each season. If fuel  
filter becomes clogged, obstructing fuel flow to carburetor,  
replacement is required.  
•
•
•
•
With engine cool, remove filter and plug fuel line sec-  
tions.  
Place new fuel filter in position in fuel line with arrow  
pointing towards carburetor.  
Be sure there are no fuel line leaks and clamps are  
properly positioned.  
Immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline.

•
Clean engine, battery, seat, finish, etc. of all foreign  
matter.  
Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline,  
oil, etc.  
Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.  
We do not recommend using a garden hose or pressure  
washer to clean your tractor unless the engine and trans-  
mission are covered to keep water out. Water in engine or  
transmission will shorten the useful life of your tractor. Use  
compressed air or a leaf blower to remove grass, leaves  
and trash from tractor and mower.

TRACTOR  
•
•
Drain the fuel tank.  
Start 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.  
Use fresh fuel next season.  
Removemowerfromtractorforwinterstorage. Whenmower  
istobestoredforaperiodoftime,cleanitthoroughly,remove  
all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.  
•
•
•
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).  
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 drain  
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.  
•
•
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  
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean en-  
gine oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of  
this manual).  
•
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand  
lightly before painting.  
BATTERY  
•
•
Fully charge the battery for storage.  
After a period of time in storage, battery may require  
recharging.  
CYLINDER(S)  
•
•
Remove spark plug(s).  
Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into  
cylinder(s).  
•
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).  
After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place  
cables where they cannot come in contact with battery  
terminals.  
•
•
Turn ignition key to “START”position for a few seconds  
to distribute oil.  
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.  
If battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not  
store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.  
•
•
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.
