TO OPERATE MOWER
REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)
Your riding mower is equipped with an
operator presence sensing switch. Any
attempt by the operator to leave the seat
with the engine running and the deck clutch
engaged will shut off the engine. You must
remain fully and centrally positioned in the
seat to prevent the engine from hesitating or
cutting off when operating your equipment
on rough, rolling terrain or hills.
Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse
Operation System (ROS). Any attempt by
the operator to travel in the reverse direc-
tion with the deck clutch engaged will shut
off the engine unless ignition key is placed
in the ROS "ON" position.
WARNING: Backing up with the deck
clutch engaged while mowing is strongly
discouraged. Turning the ROS "ON", to al-
low reverse operation with the deck clutch
engaged, should only be done when the
operator decides it is necessary to reposi-
tion the machine with the attachment
engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless
absolutely necessary.
1. Select desired height of cut.
2. Start mower blade by engaging deck
clutch lever.

RECOIL STARTING SYSTEM
This unit is equipped with an engine recoil
starting system. If the battery is too weak
to start engine.
• Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet
grass will plug mower and leave undesir-
able clumps. Allow grass to dry before
mowing.
• Regulate ground speed by selecting 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.
1. Set parking Brake.
2. Turn key to ON position.
3. Make sure unit is in neutral position.
4. Set deck to disengaged position.
5. Pull recoil cord to start engine.

MOWING TIPS
• Mower should be properly leveled for best
mowing performance. See “TO LEVEL
MOWER HOUSING” in the Service and
Adjustments section of this manual.
• The left hand side of mower should be
used for trimming.
• Drivesothatclippingsaredischargedonto
the area that has already been cut. Have
thecutareatotherightoftheridingmower.
This will result in a more even distribution
of clippings and more uniform cutting.
• Whenmowinglargeareas, startbyturning
to the right so 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.
• If grass is extremely tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce load and possible
fire hazard from dried clippings. Make
first cut relatively high; the second to the
desired height.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
BEFORE EACH USE
The warranty on this riding mower does not
cover items that have been subjected to
operator abuse or negligence. To receive
full value from the warranty, operator must
maintain riding mower as instructed in this
manual.
1. Check engine oil level.
2. Check brake operation.
3. Check tire pressure.
4. Check operator presence and
ROS systems for proper operation.
5. Check for loose fasteners.
Some adjustments will need to be made
periodically to properly maintain your riding
mower.
IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease the pivot
points which have special nylon bearings.
Viscous lubricants will attract dust and dirt
that will shorten the life of the self-lubricating
bearings. Ifyoufeeltheymustbelubricated,
use only a dry, powdered graphite type lu-
bricant sparingly.
At least once a season, check to see if
you should make any of the adjustments
described in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual.
• At least once a year you should replace
the spark plug, clean or replace air filter,
and check blade and belt for wear. A new
sparkplugandcleanairfilterassureproper
air-fuel mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.

any maintenance.
CHECK OPERATOR PRESENCE
SYSTEM
• When the engine is running, any at-
tempt by the operator to leave the seat
without first setting the parking brake
should shut off the engine.
• When the engine is running and the
deck clutch lever is engaged, any at-
tempt by the operator to leave the seat
should shut off the engine.
• Thedeckclutchlevershouldneveroperate
unless the operator is in the seat.
BRAKE OPERATION
If riding mower requires more than four (4)
feet to stop at highest speed in highest gear
onalevel,dryconcreteorpavedsurface,then
brake must be serviced. (See “TO ADJUST
BRAKE” in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual).
TIRES
• Maintain proper air pressure in all tires
CHECK REVERSE OPERATION (ROS)
SYSTEM
(See PSI on tires).
• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect
control chemicals which can harm
rubber.
• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp
objectsandotherhazardsthatmaycause
tire damage.
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.
AXLE AND SPINDLES
• Frontwheelaxlesandfrontspindlesshould
be properly lubricated.
• Wheel Axles should be lubricated with a
dry, powdered graphite type lubricant.
• Spindlesshouldbelubricatedwithaspray
type silicone base lubricant.
• When the engine is running with the
ignition switch in the engine "ON" posi-
tion and the deck clutch lever engaged,
any attempt by the operator to shift into
reverse should shut off the engine.
• When the engine is running with the
ignition switch in the ROS "ON" posi-
tion and the deck clutch lever engaged,
any attempt by the operator to shift into
reverse should NOT shut off the engine.
BLADE CARE
For best results mower blades must be
sharp. Replace worn, bent or damaged
blades.
CAUTION: Use only a replacement
blade approved by the manufacturer of
your riding mower. Using a blade not ap-
proved by the manufacturer of your riding
mower is hazardous, could damage your
riding mower and void your warranty.

We do not recommend using a garden hose
or pressure washer to clean your riding
mower unless the engine and transmission
are covered to keep water out. Water in en-
gine or transmission will shorten the useful
life of your riding mower. Use compressed
air or a leaf blower to remove grass, leaves
and trash from riding mower and mower.
NOTE: If very dirty or damaged, replace
cartridge.
IMPORTANT: Petroleum solvents, such as
kerosene, are not to be used to clean the
cartridge. They may cause deterioration of
the cartridge. Do not oil cartridge. Do not
use pressurized air to clean cartridge.
