mlV]PORTANT: This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throw- ing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.

In order to prevent ac-

cidental starting when setting up, trans-

porting, adjusting or making repairs, always disconnect spark plug wire and place wire where it cannot contact spark

plug.

4_I, WARNmNG: Do not coast down a

hill in neutral, you may lose control of the

tractor.

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your tractor. Use common sense when towing.

Operate only at the lowest 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.

,_WARNmNG: Engine exhaust, some

of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals

known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-

tive harm.

Battery posts, terminals

and related accessories contain lead and

lead compounds, chemicals known to the

State of California to cause cancer and

birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

L 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 before mowing. Stop machine if anyone

enters the area.

, Never carry passengers. , Do not mow in reverse unless abso-

lutely 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

parking brake, stop engine, and remove keys before dismounting.

Turn off blades when not mowing.

Stop engine before removing grass

catcher or unclogging chute.

Mow only in daylight or good artificial 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 un-

loading the machine into a trailer or truck.

Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large

percentage of riding mower-related in- juries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect themselves and

others from serious injury.

Keep machine free of grass, leaves or

other debris build-up which can touch

hot exhaust / engine parts and burn. Do

not allow the mower deck to plow leaves

or other debris which can cause build-

up to occur. Clean any oil or fuel spillage before operating or storing the

machine. Allow machine to cool before storage.

H. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss- of-control and tipover accidents, which can

result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back

up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

Page 4

DO:

Mow up and down slopes, not across. Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Un-

even terrain could overturn the machine.

Taft 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 recommend- ations 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:

o Do not turn on slopes unless neces-

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

Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches,

or embankments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over

the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

Do not mow on 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.

ill. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator

is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the ma-

chine and the mowing activity. Never as- sume 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.

iV, 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 fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do

not smoke.

-Never refuel the machine indoors.

- Never store the machine or fuel con-

tainer 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 cool before storing.

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

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. Ad- just and service as required.

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 standard safety glasses or a

wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR

TO SET PARKmNG BRAKE 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.

1. Depress brake pedal all the way down and hold.

2. Pull parking brake lever up and release pressure from brake pedal. Pedal should remain in brake position. Make sure parking brake will hold tractor

secu re.

=ever

Never use choke to stop engine. IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch in any position other than "STOP" will

cause the battery to discharge and go dead.

NOTE: Under certain conditions when

tractor is standing idle with the engine

running, hot engine exhaust gases may

cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate this possibility, always stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

I_kCAUTION: Always stop tractor com-

pletely, as described above, before leaving

the operator's position. TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL

Always operate engine at full throttle.

Operating engine at less than full

throttle reduces the battery charging

rate.

Full throttle offers the best mower per-

formance.

TO USE CHOKE CONTROL

Use choke control whenever you are start- ing a cold engine. Do not use to start a

warm engine.

To engage choke control, pull knob out.

Slowly push knob in to disengage.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND

BACKWARD

CAUTION: Do not attempt to operate mo- tion control lever when the parking brake

is set or when the brake pedal is de- pressed. Doing so may result in misadjust- merit to the drive control system.

The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the motion control lever.

1. Start tractor with motion control lever in

neutral (N) position.

2. Release parking brake.

3. Slowly move motion control lever to desired position.

Page 12

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTmNG HEmGHT The cutting height is controlled by turn-

ing the height adjustment knob in desired direction.

,, Turn knob clockwise (f_) to raise cut-

ting height.

,, Turn knob counterclockwise (_) to

lower cutting height.

The cutting height range is approximately

1-1/2" to 4-1/2". The heights are mea- sured from the ground to the blade tip with the engine not running. These heights are approximate and may vary depending upon soil conditions,

height of grass and types of grass being

mowed. ,, 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 relatively high;

the second to desired height.

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly off the ground when

mower is at the desired cutting height in

operating position. Gauge wheels then

keep the deck in proper position to help

prevent scalping in most terrain conditions.

NOTE: Be sure tractor is on a flat level surface.

1. Lower mower and adjust mower to desired cutting height.

2. Remove retainer spring and clevis pin which secure each gauge wheel bar.

3. Lower gauge wheels to ground. Raise gauge wheels slightly to align holes in bracket and gauge wheel bar and insert clevis pin. Gauge wheels should be slightly off the ground.

4. Replace retainer spring into clevis pin.

5. Be sure all gauge wheels are in the same setting.

mMPORTANT: Be sure to readjust gauge

wheels if you change the cutting height

of the mower deck.

Retainer Spring

Clevis Pin

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.

1. Select desired height of cut.

2. Lower mower with attachment lift con- trol.

3. Start mower blades by engaging at- tachment clutch control.

TO STOP MOWER BLADES - disengage attachment clutch control.

_,CAUTmON: Do not operate the mower without either the entire grass catcher,

on mowers so equipped, or the deflector shield in place.

TO OPERATE ON HmLLS _,WARNmNG: Do not drive up or down

hills with slopes greater than 15° and do not drive across any slope. Use the slope guide provided at the back of this manual. ,, Choose the slowest speed before start-

ing up or down hills.

Page 13

Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.

If stopping is absolutely necessary, push brake pedal quickly to brake position and engage parking brake.

mMPORTANT: The motion control lever returns to neutral (N) position when the

brake pedal is depressed.

* To restart movement, slowly release

parking brake and brake pedal.

* Slowly move motion control lever to

slowest setting. Make all turns slowly.

TO TRANSPORT When pushing or towing your tractor, be

sure to disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in freewheeling position.

Freewheel control is located at the rear drawbar of tractor.

1. Raise attachment lift to highest position with attachment lift control.

2. Pull freewheel control out and into the slot and release so it is held in the

disengaged position.

* Do not push or tow tractor at more than

two (2) MPH.

* To re-engage transmission, reverse

above procedure.

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.). TOWmNG CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH=

MENTS

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 heaw

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.

BEFORE STARTmNG THE ENGmNE

CHECK ENGmNE OraL LEVEL The engine in your tractor has been

shipped, from the factory, already filled with summer weight oil.

1. Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.

2. 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 "FULE' mark on dipstick is reached. Do not

overfill.

* For cold weather operation you should

change oil for easier starting (See the

oil viscosity chart in the Maintenance section of this manual). To change engine oil, see the Mainte-

nance section in this manual.

ADD GASOUNE * 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 quan- tities that can be used within 30 days to

assure fuel freshness.

_CAUTmON: Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline

near an open flame. mMPORTANT: When operating in temper-

atures 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 attract moisture which leads to separa- tion 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 carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

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.

1. Be sure freewheel control is in the transmission engaged position.

2. Sit on seat in operating position, depress brake pedal and set parking

brake.

3. Move attachment clutch to disengaged position.

4. Move throttle control to fast position

5. Pull choke control out for a cold engine start attempt. For a warm engine start

attempt the choke control may not be needed.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and

cold starting procedures below.

6. 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 con- trol out and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F and

above)

7. 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.

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)

7. 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 en-

gine to accept small changes in speed and load, until the choke 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 require

an engine warm-up period from several seconds to several minutes, depending

on the temperature.

NOTE: In extreme cold conditions, if engine will not start you may need to dis- engage the motion drive belt as follows:

1. Be sure parking brake is engaged.

2. Remove retainer spring from the drive belt tension handle to relieve belt ten-

sion.

3. Start engine and allow it to warm up for

three (3) minutes.

4. Shut-off engine and engage parking brake.

5. Engage drive belt tension handle and replace the retainer spring.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP Before driving the unit in cold weather,

the transmission should be warmed up as follows:

1. Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

2. Place the motion control lever in neutral. Release the parking brake and

let the brake slowly return to operating position.

3. 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.

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

_I, CAUTION: Never engage or dis= engage freewheel lever while the engine

is running. To ensure proper operation and per- formance, it is recommended that the transmission be purged before operating tractor for the first time. This procedure will remove any trapped air inside the trans- mission which may have developed during shipping of your tractor. IMPORTANT: Should your transmission

require removal for service or replace- ment, it should be purged after reinstall-

ation before operating the tractor.

1. Place tractor safely on level surface with engine off and parking brake set.

2. Disengage transmission by plac- ing freewheel control in disengaged position (See "TO TRANSPORT" in this

section of manual).

Page 15

3. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine is running, move throttle control to slow position. Disen- gage parking brake.

4. Move motion control lever to full forward position and hold for five (5)

seconds. Move lever to full reverse position and hold for five (5) seconds.

Repeat this procedure three (3) times.

NOTE: During this step there will be no movement of drive wheels. The air is being removed from hydraulic drive system.

5. Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position. Shutoff engine and set

parking brake.

6. Engage transmission by placing free- wheel control in engaged position (See

"TO TRANSPORT" in this section of manual).

7. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine is running, move

throttle control to half (1/2) speed. Disengage parking brake.

8. Slowly move motion control lever for- ward, after the tractor moves approxi- mately five (5) feet, slowly move motion control lever to reverse position. After the tractor moves approximately five (5) feet return the motion control lever to the neutral (N) position. Repeat this procedure with the motion control lever three (3) times.

Your transmission is now purged and now

ready for normal operation.

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 already 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. When mowing large areas, start by turning 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.

(

,c J

If grass is extremely tail, it should be

mowed twice to reduce load and pos- sible 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

undesirable clumps. Allow grass to dry

before mowing.

Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to assure better mow-

ing performance and proper discharge

of material. 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 at- tachment being used.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this tractor does not cover items that have been subjected to @ Spindb --

operator abuse or negligence. To receive Zerk

full value from the warranty, operator

must maintain tractor as instructed in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your

tractor. All adjustments in the Service and Adjust-

ments section of this manual should be Sector

checked at least once each season. Gear

Once a year you should replace the Teeth spark plug, clean or replace air filter,

and check blades and belts for wear. A new spark plug and clean air filter

assure proper air-fuel mixture and help

your engine run better and last longer.

BEFORE EACH USE

1. Check engine oil level.

2. Check brake operation.

3. Check tire pressure.

4. Check operator presence and interlock systems for proper operation.

5. Check for loose fasteners.

3 - Replace blades more often when mowing in sandy soil.

TRACTOR

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" section 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. OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM

Be sure operator presence and interlock

systems are working properly. If your trac- tor does not function as described, repair

the problem immediately.

The engine should not start unless the brake pedal is fully depressed and

attachment clutch control is in the disen- gaged position. 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 attachment clutch is engaged, any at- tempt by the operator to leave the seat should shut off the engine. The attachment clutch should never op- erate unless the operator is in the seat.

BLADE CARE

For best results mower blades must be kept sharp. Replace bent or damaged

blades. BLADE REMOVAL

1. Raise mower to highest position to al- low access to blades.

NOTE: Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap blade with heavy cloth.

2. Remove blade bolt by turning counter- clockwise.

3. Install new or resharpened blade with stamped "THIS SIDE UP" facing deck

and mandrel assembly.

mMPORTANT: To ensure proper assembly, center hole in blade must align with star on mandrel assembly.

4. Install and tighten blade bolt securely

(45-55 Ft. Lbs. torque).

mMPORTANT: Special blade bolt is heat treated.

B_de

(Special) Center Hol-"_ ' TO SHARPEN BLADE

NOTE: We do not recommend sharp- ening 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 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 balancer.)

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 on to 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

horizontal position. If either end of the blade moves downward, sharpen the

heavy end until the blade is balanced.

5/8" Bolt

Center Hole

Your tractor has a battery charging system which is sufficient for normal use. How-

ever, 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.

NOTE: The original equipment battery on your tractor is maintenance free. Do not attempt to open or remove caps or covers.

Maintenance, repair, or replacement of

the emission control devices and systems, which are being done at the customers ex-

pense, may be performed by any non-road

engine repair establishment or individual. Warranty repairs must be performed by an

authorized engine manufacturer's service outlet.

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:

1. With engine not running, move throttle control lever to fast position.

2. Check that speed control lever is against stop screw. If it is not, loosen casing clamp screw and pull throttle cable until lever is against screw. Tighten clamp screw securely.

TO ADJUST CHOKE CONTROL The choke control has been preset at the

factory and adjustment should not be nec- essary, check adjustment as described be-

low before loosening cable. If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:

1. With engine not running, move choke control (located on dash panel) to full choke position.

2. Remove air cleaner cover, filter and cartridge plate to expose carburetor

choke (See "AIR FILTER" in the Main- tenance section of this manual).

3. Choke should be closed. If it is not, loosen casing clamp screw and move

choke cable until choke is completely closed. Tighten casing clamp screw securely.

4. Reassemble air cleaner. Closed for Full

Choke

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR The carburetor has been present at the

factory and adjustment should not be nec- essary. 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. mlVIPORTANT: Damage to the needles

and the seats in carburetor may result if

screw is turned in too tight.

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

1. Be sure you have a clean air filter, and the throttle control cable is adjusted

properly (see "TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE" in the Service and

Adjustments section of this manual).

With engine off turn idle fuel adjust-

ing needle in (clockwise) closing it finger tight and then turn out (counter- clockwise) 1 turn.

FINAL SETTING -

1. Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes. Make final adjustments with

engine running and shift/motion control

lever in neutral (N) position.

NOTE: The high idle is set at the factory and cannot be adjusted.

2. Idle speed setting - With throttle control lever in slow position, engine should idle at 1200 RPM. If engine idles too

slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting screw in or out until correct idle is at-

tained.

3. Idle fuel needle setting - With throttle

control lever in slow position, turn idle fuel adjusting needle in (clockwise)

until engine speed decreases and then

turn out (counterclockwise) approxi-

mately 3/4 turn to obtain the best low

speed performance.

4. Recheck idle speed. Readjust if neces-

sary.

ACCELERATION TEST -

5. 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 neces-

sary, until engine accelerates smoothly. High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust-damage may result. mlVIPORTANT: Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above the factory high speed setting can be dangerous. If you think the engine-governed high speed needs ad-

justing, contact a Sears or other qualified

service center, which has proper equip- ment and experience to make any neces- sary adjustments.

Page 29

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.

WARNmNG: 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. When mower is to be stored for a

period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove aU dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a

clean, dry area.

1. Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING" in the Maintenance section of this

manual).

2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt replacement instructions in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

3. Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this manual.

4. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage and wear. Replace if necessary.

5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly before painting.

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 TERMINALS" in the Maintenance section of this manual).

After cleaning, leave cables discon- nected 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.

FUEL SYSTEM I_PORTANT: It is important to prevent

gum deposkes from forming in essential

fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel

hose, or tank during storage. Also, exper)-

ance indicates that alcohol blended fuels

(called gasohol or using ethanol or metha-

nol) 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.

1. Drain the fuel tank.

2. 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 stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or stor- age 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 car-

buretor. Do not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENG(NE O(L

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of this manual).

1. Remove spark plug(s).

2. Pour one ounce of oil through spark

plug hole(s) into cylinder(s).

3. Turn ignition key to "START" position

for a few seconds to distribute oil.

4. 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 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 will cause your tractor to rust.

(IVIPORTANT: Never cover tractor while engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
