Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.

Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

Watchforholes,ruts,orbumps.Uneventerraincouldoverturn

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.

OPERATION

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH-

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 6)

MENTS

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.

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and

comply with speciﬁcations of the manufacturer of your trac-

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.

•

Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake

pedal and set parking brake.

•

Place gear shift lever in neutral (N) position.

Move attachment clutch to “DISENGAGED” position.

Move throttle control to fast position

Pull choke control out for a cold engine start attempt.

For a warm engine start attempt the choke control may

not be needed.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

•

The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the

factory, already ﬁlled with summer weight oil.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting

procedures below.

•

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.

•

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

after several attempts, push choke control in, wait a

few minutes and try again.If engine still does not start,

pull the choke control out and retry.

•

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.

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

to run roughly, pull the choke control out slightly for a

few seconds and then continue to push the control in

slowly.

ADD GASOLINE

•

Fill fuel tank to bottom of ﬁller neck. Do not overﬁll.

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.

•

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.

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50° F and below)

CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline

near an open ﬂame.

•

When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until

the engine begins to run smoothly. Continue to push

the choke control in small steps allowing the engine to

acceptsmallchangesinspeedandload,untilthechoke

control is fully in.If the engine starts to run roughly, pull

the choke control out slightly for a few seconds and

then continue to push the control in slowly. This may

requireanenginewarm-upperiodfromseveralseconds

to several minutes, depending on the temperature.

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES

BELOW32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE

GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER

STARTING.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called

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.

•

The attachments can be used during the engine warm-

up period and may require the choke control be pulled

out slightly.

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.

OPERATION

MOWING TIPS

•

Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing per-

formance. See“TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING”in the

Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

•

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 tractor. 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. 10).

FIG. 10

•

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.

•

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.

WARNING: Never store the tractor with

gasoline in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open ﬂame

orspark. Allowtheenginetocoolbefore

storing in any enclosure.

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.
