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: In order to prevent acci-

dental starting when setting up, trans-

porting, adjusting or making repairs,

always disconnect spark plug wire

and place wire where it cannot contact

spark plug.

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.

Nevercarrychildren.Theymayfalloffandbeseriouslyinjured

or interfere with safe machine operation.

Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful

care of another responsible adult.

WARNING: Do not coast down a hill

in neutral, you may lose control of the

tractor.

•

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.

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.

Donotturnonslopesunlessnecessary, andthen, turnslowly

and gradually downhill, if possible.

WARNING: 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.

OPERATION

NOTE: To protect hood from damage when transporting

your tractor on a truck or a trailer, be sure hood is closed

and secured to tractor. Use an appropriate means of tying

hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol

or using ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-

ture 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. See Storage Instructions

for additional information. Never use engine or

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 7)

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.

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH-

MENTS

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.

•

Besurefreewheelcontrolisinthetransmissionengaged

position.

•

Sit on seat in operating position, depress brake pedal

and set parking brake.

•

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.

•

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.

Unthread and remove oil ﬁll cap/dipstick; wipe oil off.

Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and rest oil ﬁll cap on

the tube. Do not thread the cap onto the tube.Remove

and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until “FULL”

mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overﬁll.

•

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)

•

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.

CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline

near an open ﬂame.

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES

MOWING TIPS

•

Beforedrivingtheunitincoldweather,thetransmission

should be warmed up as follows:

•

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

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.

•

Allow one minute for transmission to warm up.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 and may require the choke control be pulled out

slightly.

•

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).

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

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 de-

veloped 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.

00272

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

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.

•

Place tractor safely on level surface with engine off and

parking brake set.

•

Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control

infreewheelingposition(See“TOTRANSPORT”inthis

section of manual).

•

Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the en-

gine is running, move throttle control to slow position.

Disengage parking brake

Depress forward drive pedal to full forward position,

hold for ﬁve (5) seconds and release pedal. Depress

reverse drive pedal to full reverse position, hold for ﬁve

(5) seconds and release pedal. Repeat this procedure

three (3) times.

•

NOTE: During this procedure there will be no movement

of drive wheels. The air is being removed from hydraulic

drive system.

•

Shut- off engine and set parking brake.

Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in

driving position (See“TOTRANSPORT”in this section

of manual).

•

Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine.After the engine

is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed.

Disengage parking brake.

Drive tractor forward for approximately ﬁve feet then

backwards for ﬁve feet. Repeat this driving procedure

three times.

Your tractor is now purged and now ready for normal

operation.

TRACTOR

•

Empty the fuel tank by starting 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.

Removemowerfromtractorforwinterstorage. Whenmower

istobestoredforaperiodoftime,cleanitthoroughly,remove

all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.

Use fresh fuel next season.

•

Clean entire tractor (See “CLEANING” in the Mainte-

nance 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 empty

the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

•

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.

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

•

CYLINDER(S)

Fully charge the battery for storage.

After a period of time in storage, battery may require

recharging.

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).

•

Remove spark plug(s).

Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into

cylinder(s).

•

Turn ignition key to “START”position for a few seconds

to distribute oil.

Replace with new spark plug(s).

•

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.

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 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.
