slope. If the tires lose traction, disen-
gage the blades and proceed slowly
straight down the slope.

• If machine stops while going uphill,
disengage blades, shift into reverse and
back down slowly.

• Do not turn on slopes unless neces-
sary, and then, turn slowly and gradu-
ally downhill, if possible.

STOPPING

MOWER BLADES -

• To stop mower blades, push attachment

clutch switch in to disengaged position.

GROUND DRIVE -

• To stop ground drive, depress clutch/

brake pedal all the way down.

• Move gearshift lever to neutral (N) posi-

tion.

ENGINE -

• Move throttle control between half and

full speed (fast) position.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control

between half and full speed (fast) posi-
tion, before stopping, may cause engine to

"backfire".

• Turn ignition key to "STOP" position and

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

use.

• 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.
,_CAUTION: 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 perfor-

mance.

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
The direction and speed of movement is

controlled by the gearshift lever.

1. Start tractor with clutch/brake pedal de-
pressed and gearshift lever in neutral
(N) position.

2. Move gearshift and range shift levers
to desired position.

3. 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 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.

14

1. Lower mower and adjust mower to de-
sired cutting height(See "TO ADJUST

MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT" in this
section of manual).

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.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to readjust gauge

wheels if you change the cutting height
of the mower deck.

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. You must

remain fully and centrally positioned in the
seat to prevent the engine from hesitating
or cutting off when operating your equip-

ment on rough, rolling terrain or hills.

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 -

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 4-1/2". 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.

REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)

Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse

Operation System (ROS). Any attempt by
the operator to travel in the reverse direc-
tion with the attachment clutch engaged
will shut off the engine unless ignition key

is placed in the ROS "ON" position.
_WARNING: Backing up with the at-

tachment clutch engaged while mowing

is strongly discouraged. Turning the ROS

"ON", to allow reverse operation with the

attachment clutch engaged, should only

be done when the operator decides it is

necessary to reposition the machine with
the attachment engaged. Do not mow in

reverse unless absolutely necessary.

15

USING THE REVERSE OPERATION
SYSTEM -

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

2. With engine running, turn ignition key
counterclockwise to ROS "ON" posi-

tion.

3. Look down and behind before backing.

4. Move gear shift lever to reverse (R) po-

sition and slowly release clutch/brake

pedal to start movement.

5. When use of the ROS is no longer
needed, turn the ignition key clockwise

to engine "ON" position.

ROS "ON" Position

TO OPERATE ON HILLS
_IbWARNING: Do not drive up or down

hills with slopes greater than 15 ° and do
not drive across any slope. Use the slope

guide at the back of this manual.

• Choose the slowest speed before starting
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
and engage parking brake.

• Move gearshift lever to 1st gear and range

shift lever to low (L) position. Be sure you

have allowed room for tractor to roll slightly

as you restart movement.

• To restart movement, slowly release park-
ing 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.).

Engine "ON" Position
(Normal Operating)

TOWING 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 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.

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.

1. Check engine oil with tractor on level
ground.

2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe
clean, reinsert the dipstick and screw

cap tight, wait for a few seconds, re-

move 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 the

oil viscosity chart in the Maintenance
section of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Mainte-

nance section in this manual.

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 quan-
tities that can be used within 30 days to

assure fuel freshness.

ACAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
IMPORTANT: 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.

16

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. Sit on seat in operating position,
depress clutch/brake pedal and set

parking brake.

2. Place gear shift lever in neutral (N)
position.

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 re-

quire an engine warm-up period from
several seconds to several minutes,
depending on the temperature.

• 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.

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.

_,, i[ J

• If grass is extremely tall, 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 undesir-

able 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
operator abuse or negligence. To receive
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.

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 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
ROS systems for proper operation.

5. Check for loose fasteners.

3 - Replace blades more often when mowing in sandy soil.
4 - Not required if equipped with maintenance-free battery.

5 - Tighten front axle pivot bolt to 35 ft.-Ibs, maximum.

Do not overtighten.

AIways observe safetyruleswhen per-

forming any maintenance.

BRAKE OPERATION
If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to

stop at highest speed in highest gear on a

level, dry concrete or paved surface, then
brake must be checked and 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 AND
REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)

Be sure operator presence and reverse

operation systems are working properly. If
your tractor does not function as de-
scribed, repair the problem immediately.

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

attachment clutch control is in the disen-
gaged position.

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
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.

CHECK REVERSE OPERATION (ROS)
SYSTEM

• When the engine is running with the
ignition switch in the engine "ON" posi-

tion and the attachment clutch engaged,
any attempt by the operator to shift into

reverse should shut off the engine.

ROS "ON" Position

• When the engine is running with the
ignition switch in the ROS "ON" position
and the attachment clutch 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 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.

IMPORTANT: 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).

IMPORTANT: Special blade bolt is heat

treated.

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 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.

BATTERY

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.

Adding or checking level of electrolyte is

not necessary.

TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS

Corrosion and dirt on the battery and termi-
nals can cause the battery to "leak" power.

1. Remove terminal guard.

2. Disconnect BLACK battery cable first
then RED battery cable and remove

battery from tractor.

3. Rinse the battery with plain water and
dry.

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

Immediately prepare your tractor for stor-

age at the end of the season or if the trac-
_91_,wAWillnot be used for 30 days or more.

RNING: 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

all 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.

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 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.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent

gum deposits from forming in essential
fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel

hose, or tank during storage. Also, 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.

• Empty the fuel tank by starting the en-
gine and letting 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 carbure-
tor. Do not empty the gas tank and carbu-

retor 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).

CYLINDER(S)

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.

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