SAFETY RULES

GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all instruc

tions in the manual and on the machine before starting.

• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the machine.

• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blade.

• Be sure the area is clear of other people befOPb mowing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

Never carry passengers. Do not mow in reverse unless absolute ly necessary. Always look down and behind before and while backing. Be aware of the mower discharge direc tion and do not point it at anyone. Do not operate the mower without either the entire grass catcher or the guard in place. Slow down before turning. Never leave a running machine unat tended. Always turn off blades, set park ing brake, stop engine, and remove keys before dismounting.

Page 3

SAFETY RULES

• Turn off blades when not mowing.

• Stop engine before removing grass

catcher or unclogging chute.

• Mow only in daylight or good artificiai

light.

• Do not operate the machine while under

- the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Watch for traffic when operating near or

crossing roadways.

• Use extra care when loading or unload ing the machine into a trailer or truck.

SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to lossof-control and tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Ail slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

DO:

• Mow up and down slopes, not across.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn 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.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommen dations for wheel weights or counter weights to improve stability.

• Use extra care with grass catchers or

other attachments. These can change

the stability of the machine.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow

and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

DO NOT:

• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary,

and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or

embankments. The mower could sud denly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

• Do aoj^ow^ wet grass. Reduced

traction could cause sliding.

• Do not try to stabilize the machine by

putting your foot on the ground.

• Do not use grass catcher on steep

slopes.

CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the

machine and the mowing activity. Never

assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

• 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.

• Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation.

• Never allow children to operate the

machine.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

SERVICE

• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive.

- Use only an approved container.

- Never remove gas cap or add fuei

with the engine running. Allow en gine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke.

- Never refuel the machine indoors.

- Never store the machine or fuel container Inside where there is an open flame, such as a water heater.

• Never run a machine inside a closed

area.

• Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade

attachment bolts, tight and keep equip ment in good condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices.

Check their proper operation regularly.

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean oil or fuel spillage. Allow machine to cooi before storing.

• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary.

SAFETY RULES

before restarting. Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running. Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with

manufacturer’s recommended parts, when necessary. Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and

use extra caution when servicing them.

Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as required.

Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area. Never carry passengers. Do not mow in reverse unless absolute ly 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 chiidren out of the mowing area and under the watchfui 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.

A Look for this symbol to point out impor

tant safety precautions. It means CAU TION!!! BECOME AWARE!!! YOUR SAFE TY IS INVOLVED.

i^CAUTION: In order to prevent acciden tal starting when setting up, transporting, adjusting or making repairs always discon nect spark plug wire and place wire where it cannot contact spark plug.

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 overturn 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

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 the spectacles, or standard safety glasses.

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing 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.

TO SET PARKING BRAKE

• Depress clutch/brake pedal into full

“BRAKE” position and hold.

• Place parking brake lever in “EN

GAGED” position and release pressure from clutch/brake pedal. Pedal should remain in “BRAKE” position. Make sure parking brake will hold tractor secure.

remove key. Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized use.

• Never use choke to stop engine.

NOTE: Under certain conditions when

tractor is standing idle with the engine run ning, hot engine exhaust gases may cause “browning” of grass. To eliminate this possibility, always stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

^ CAUTION: Always stop tractor com

pletely, as described above, before leaving the operator’s position; to empty grass catcher, etc. THROTTLE CONTROL

Always operate engine at full throttle.

• Operating engine at less than full throt tle reduces the battery charging rate.

• Full throttle offers the best bagging and

mower performance.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the gearshift lever.

• Start tractor with clutch/brake pedal

depressed and gearshift lever in neutral (N) position.

• Move gearshift lever to desired posi

tion.

• Slowly release clutch/brake pedal to

start movement.

IMPORTANT: Bring tractor to a complete stop before shifting or changing gears. Failure to do so will shorten the useful life of your transaxle.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT The cutting height is controlled by turning the height adjustment knob in desired

direction.

• Turn knob clockwise ( ) to raise cut

ting height.

• Turn knob counterclockwise ( ) to

lower cutting height.

The cutting height range is approximately

1-1/2“ to 4". The heights are measured

from the ground to the blade tip with the

engine not running. These heights are ap proximate and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of grass and types of grass being mowed.

Page 15

• The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2-1/2 inches during the cool season and to over 3 inches during

hot months. For healthier and better

looking lawns, mow often and after

moderate growth.

• For best cutting performance, grass over 6 inches in height should be

mowed twice. Make the first cut rela-

■ lively high; the second to desired height. TO OPERATE MOWER

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing switch. Any attempt by the operator to leave the seat with the engine running and the attachment clutch engaged will shut off the engine.

• Select desired height of cut.

• Lower mower with attachment lift con

trol.

• Start mower blades by engaging attach

ment clutch control.

• to Stop mower blades - disengage

attachment clutch control.

ilkCAUTION: Do not operate the mower without either the entire grass catcher, on mowers so equipped, or the discharge guard in place.

TO OPERATE ON HILLS

^CAUTION: Do not drive up or down

hills with slopes greater than 15° and do

not drive across any slope.

• Choose the slowest speed before start

ing up or down hills.

• Avoid stopping or changing speed on

hills.

• If slowing is necessary, move throttle

control lever to slower position.

• If stopping is absolutely necessary, push clutch/brake pedal quickly to brake position'an&engagé parking brake.

• Move gearshift leverto 1st gear. Be

Attachment Lift Lever High Position

sure you have allowed room for tractor to roll slightly as you restart movement.

• To restart movement, slowly release

parking brake and clutch/brake pedal.

• Make all turns slowly.

TO TRANSPORT

• Raise attachment lift to highest position

with attachment lift control.

• When pushing or towing your tractor, be sure gearshift lever is in neutral (N) position.

• Do not push or tow tractor at more than five (5) MPH.

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.).

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recom

mended by and comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your tractor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy o1

a load, while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.

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.

• Check engine oil with tractor on level

ground.

• 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 nec essary, 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 Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Customer Responsibilities section in this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank. 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

Page 16

mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.

IMPORTANT: When operating in tempera

tures below 32°F(0'’C), use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help insure good cold weather starting.

A.WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract

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 emp tied 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 carbure tor cleaner products in the fuel tank or per-

anent damage may occur.

kCAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE 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 clutchA>rake pedal and set parking brake.

• Place gear shift lever in neutral (N) posi

tion.

• Move attachment clutch to “DISEN

GAGED” position.

• Move throttle control to choke position. Note: Before starting, read the warm and

cold starting procedures below.

• 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, 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.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50" F

AND ABOVE)

• 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.

COLD WEATHER STARTING ( 50" F AND BELOW)

• When engine starts, allow engine to run with the throttle control in the choke position until the engine runs roughly, then move throttle control to fast posi tion. This may require an engine warm up period from several seconds to sev eral minutes, depending on the temper ature.

• The attachments can also be used dur ing 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.

MOWING TIPS

• Tire chains cannot be used when the

mower housing is attached to tractor.

• 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.

• Drive so that clippings are discharged

onto the area that has been cut. Have the cut area to-lhe right of the tractor. This will result in a more even distribu tion of clippings and more uniform cut ting.

Page 17

• When mowing large areas, start by turn ing to the right so that clippings will dis charge away from shrubs, fences, drive ways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the opposite direction making left hand turns untii finished. ,

• If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to reduce load and possi ble fire hazard from dried clippings.

. 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 unde sirable clumps. Allow grass to dry before mowing.

• Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to assure better mowing performance and proper discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by se lecting a low enough gear to give the mower the best 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 at

tachment being used.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep mower housing free of built-up grass and

trash. Clean after each use.

• The special mulching blade will recut the grass clippings many times and

reduce them in size so that as they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass and not be noticed. Also, the

mulched grass will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always

mulch with your highest engine (blade)

speed as this wiii provide the best recut ting action of the blades. Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends to form clumps and

interferes with the mulching action. The best time to mow your iawn is the early

Max 1/3

afternoon. At this time the grass has

dried and the newly cut area will not be exposed to the direct sun.

For best results, adjust the mower cut

ting height so that the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass blades. For extremely heavy mulching,

reduce your width of cut on each pass

and mow slowly. Certain types of grass and grass condi tions may require that an area be mulched a second time to completely hide the clippings. When doing a sec ond cut, mow across or perpendicular to the first cut path.

Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow north to south one week then change to east to west the next week. This will help prevent matting and

graining of the iawn.

Always observe safety rules when per forming any maintenance.

BRAKE OPERATION

If tractor requires more than six (6) feet stopping distance at high speed in highest gear, then brake must be adjusted. (See “TO ADJUST BRAKE” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

TIRES

• Maintain proper air pressure in all tires

(See “PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS"

on page 5 of this manual).

• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect

control chemicals which can harm rub

ber.

• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp

objects and other hazards that may

cause 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.

TO SHARPEN BLADE

NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening blade, but if you do, be sure the blade is balanced. Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration and eventual damage to mower and engine.

• The blade can be sharpened with a file

or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while it is on the mower.

• To check blade balance, you will need a

5/8“ diameter steel bolt, pin, or a cone balancer. (When using a cone balancer,

follow the instructions supplied with bal

ancer).

NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing

blade. The lobes of the center hole may

appear to be centered, but are not.

• Slide blade onto an unthreaded portion

of the steel bolt or pin and hold the bolt

or pin parallel with the ground. If blade is balanced, it should remain in a hori

zontal position. If either end of the blade

moves downward, sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced.

BATTERY

Your tractor has a battery charging system

which is sufficient for normal use.

However, periodic charging of the battery

with an automotive charger will extend its

life.

• Keep battery and terminals clean.

• Keep battery bolts tight.

• Keep small vent holes open.

• Recharge at 6-10 amperes for 1 hour.

TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS

Corrosion and dirt on the battery and ter

minals can cause the battery to “leak”

power.

• Open battery box door.

• Disconnect BLACK battery cable first then RED battery cable and remove battery from tractor.

• Rinse the battery with plain water and dry.

• Clean terminals and battery cable ends with wire brush until bright.

TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE

The throttle control has been preset at the

factory and adjustment should not be nec

essary. Check adjustment as described below before loosening cable. If adjust ment is necessary, proceed as follows:

• With engine not running, move throttle

control lever from slow to choke posi tion. Slowly move lever from choke to fast position.

• Check to see if hole in throttle lever and hole in speed control bracket are aligned.

• If holes are not aligned, loosen cable clamp screw and align the holes by inserting a pencil or a 1/4" drill bit

through both holes.

• Pull throttle cable up to remove slack and tighten cable clamp screw. Remove alignment pencil or drill bit.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

The carburetor has been preset at the fac tory and adjustment should not be neces sary. However, minor adjustment may be

required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need adjustment, proceed as follows:

In general, turning the adjusting needles in (clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/air mixture. Turning the adjusting needles out (counterclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/air mixture.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the needles and

the seats in carburetor may result if nee

dle is turned in too tight.

NOTE: The carburetor on this engine is

low emission. It is equipped with an idle fuel adjusting needle with a limiter cap, which allows some adjustment within the

limits allowed by the cap. Do not attempt to remove the limiter cap. The limiter cap cannot be removed without breaking the adjusting needle.

• Be sure you have a clean air filter and

the throttle cootrol cable is adjusted properly (see above).

• Start engine and allow to warm for five

minutes. Make adjustments with engine running and shift/motion control lever in neutral (N) position.

• Icfle speed setting - With throttle control lever in slow position, engine should idle at 1750 RPM. If engine idles too slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting screw in or out until correct idle is at tained.

• Idle fuel needle setting - With throttle control lever in slow position, turn idle fuel adjustment needle in (clockwise) until engine begins to die and then turn out (counterclockwise) until engine runs rough. Turn needle to a point midway between those two positions.

• Recheck idle speed. Readjust if neces sary.

ACCELERATION TEST-

• Move throttle control lever from slow to fast position. If engine hesitates or dies, turn idle fuel adjusting needle out (counterclockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat test and continue to adjust, if necessary, until engine accelerates smoothly.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust - damage may result.

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the

engine governor, which is factory set for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above the factory high speed set ting can be dangerous. If you think the engine-governed high speed needs adjusting, contact your nearest AUTHO

RIZED service center/department, which

has proper equipment and experience to make any necessary adjustments.

Page 27

STORAGE

Immediately prepare your tractor for stor age at the end of the season or if the trac tor will not be used for 30 days or more.

AcaUTION: Never store the tractor with 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.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractor for winter

storage. This will allow you to clean it thor

oughly. Remove all dirt, grease, leaves,

etc. Store in a clean, dry area.

• Clean entire tractor (See “CLEANING"

in the Maintenance section of this man

ual).

• Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt replacement 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.

• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint sur faces; sand lightly before painting.

BATTERY

• 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 disconnected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see “TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMI

NALS” in the Maintenance section of

this manual).

• After cleaning, leave cables disconnect

ed 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.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel filter, ftjSfhosefor tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol

blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of

acids during storage. Acidic gas can dam age the fuel system of an engine while in

storage.

• 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.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable

alternative in minimizing the formation of

fuel gum deposits during storage. Add sta

bilizer 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 carbure tor. Do not drain the gas tank and carbure tor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace

with clean engine oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of this manual).

CYLINDERS

• 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).

OTHER

• Do not store gasoline from one season

to another. -

• Replace your gasoline can if it 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 pro tective cover that does not retain mois ture. Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot

breathe, which allows condensation to

form and cause your tractor to rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover tractor while

engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
