FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

I. GENERALOPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions 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 ofobjects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc.,

which could be picked up and thrown by the blade.

• Be surethe area isclearof other people before mowing.

Stop machine ifanyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

Always look down and behind before and while backing.

• Be aware of the mower discharge direction 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 unattended. Alwaysturn

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 unclog-

ging 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 road-

ways.

• Use extra care when loading or unloading 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 injuries. 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.

Donotallowthe mower deckto plow leaves orother 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.

I1. 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

requireextracaution. Ifyoucannot back uptheslopeor ifyoufeel
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 sothat you will not
have to stop or shift while on the slope.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel

weights or counterweights to improve stability.

• Use extra care with grass catchers or other attach-
ments. These can change the stability of the machine.

• Keep all movement onthe slopes slowand gradual Donot
make sudden changes in speed or direction.

• Avoid starting or stopping ona slope. If tires lose traction,

disengage the blades andproceedslowly straightdown the
slope. 2

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 suddenly turn over if awheel isover the

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

• Do notmow onwet 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.

II1.CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur ifthe 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 ifchildren enter the area.

• Before and when backing, look behind and down for
small children.

• Nevercarrychildren. They may fall off and beseriously
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. AIIowenginetocool before refueling. Do not
smoke.

Never refuel the machine indoors.
Never storet he machine orfuel 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 equipment 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 orfuel spillage. Allow machine to cool

before storing.

• Stop and inspect the equipment ifyou strike an object.

Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

• Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine
running.

• Grass catcher components are subject to wear, dam-
age, and deterioration, which could expose moving parts

or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check compo-
nents and replace with manufacturer's recommended

parts, when necessary.

• Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrapthe blade(s)
or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing

them.

• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service
as required.

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.

• 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.

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

• Keep children out ofthe 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.

• 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 over-

turn 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.

FIG. 6

IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY

POSITION OTHER THAN "OFF" WILL CAUSE THE
BATTERY TO BE DISCHARGED, (DEAD).

NOTE: Undercertain conditions when tractor isstanding 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, asdescribed above, before leav-
ing the operator's position; to empty
grasscatcher, etc.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 6)

Always operate engine at full throttle.

• Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the
battery charging rate.

• Full throttle offers the best bagging and mower perfor-
mance.

TO USE CHOKE CONTROL (See Fig. 6)

Use choke control whenever you are starting 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 (See
Fig. 6)

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

• Start tractor with motion control lever in neutral (N)
position.

• Release parking brake and clutch/brake pedal.

• Slowly move motion control lever to desired position.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT
(See Fig. 6)

The position of the attachment lift lever determines the

cutting height.

• Grasp lift lever.

• Press plunger with thumb and move lever to desired
position.

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 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

11

height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut
relatively high; the second to desired height.

OPERATION

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 7)

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly
off the ground when mower isat 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:Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level

surface.

• Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See "TO AD-
JUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT" in the Operation

section of this manual).

• With mower in desired height of cut position, gauge
wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off the

ground. Install gauge wheel in appropriate hole with
shoulder bolt, 3/8washer, and 3/8-16 Iocknut and tighten

securely.

• Repeat for opposite side installing gauge wheel insame
adjustment hole.

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS
Tow only the attachments that are recommended 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, isdangerous. Tires can lose traction

with the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.

OPERATION

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.

• Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the
dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds,

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

Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).

• To change engine oil,seethe 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 mix oil with gasoline.

Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30

days to assure fuel freshness.

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES
BELOW 32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE

GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER
STARTING.

WARNING: Experience indicatesthat 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 emptied before storage of 30 days or

longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let itrun until
the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next

season. See Storage Instructionsforadditional information.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel

tank or permanent damage may occur.

CAUTION: 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 (See Fig. 5)

When starting the engine for the first time orifthe engine has
run out of fuel, it will take extra cranking time to move fuel

from the tank to the engine.

• Besure freewheel control isinthe transmission engaged
position.

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

• Place motion control lever in neutral (N) position.

• 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.

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, push choke control in, wait afew
minutes and try again. If engine still does not start, pull

the choke control out and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)

• When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until
the engine begins to run smoothly. Ifthe 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 itto warm up for one minute using the choke
as described above.

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50° Fand 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
accept small changes inspeed 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 inslowly. This may require
an engine warm-up period from several seconds to

several minutes, depending onthe temperature.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

• Before drivingthe unit incold weather, thetransmission
should be warmed up as follows:

• Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

• Place the motion control lever in neutral. Release
the parking brake and let the clutch/brake

slowly return to operating position.

• Allowone minute fortransmission 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" inthe Service and Adjustments

section of this manual.

PURGE TRANSMISSION

CAUTION: Never engage ordisengage
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 devel-

oped 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.

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

• Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in
freewheeling position (See "TO TRANSPORT" in this

13

section of manual).

OPERATION

• Sitting in the tractorseat, start engine. After the engine
is running, move throttle control to slow position. With

motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly
disengage clutch/brake pedal.

• 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 procedure there will be no movement of
drive wheels. The air is being removed from hydraulic drive

system.

• Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position. Shut-
off engine and set parking brake.

• Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in
driving position (See "TO TRANSPORT" inthis section

of manual).

• Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine
is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed. With

motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly
disengage clutch/brake pedal.

• Slowly move motion control lever forward, after the
tractor moves approximately 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 tractor is now purged and now ready for normal
operation.

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 beused for trimming.

• 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.

• When mowing large areas, start byturning tothe 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

(See Fig. 10).

• 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
mowerand leave undesirableclumps. AIIowgrasstodry

before mowing.

• Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing
to assure better mowing performance and proper dis-
charge of material. Regulate ground speed by selecting

a low enough gear to give the mower cutting perfor-
mance as well as the quality of cut desired.

• When operating attachments, select a ground speed
that will suit theterrain and give best performance of the

attachment being used.

FIG. 10

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 asthey 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 will

provide the best recutting 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 lawn is the early 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 cutting height sothat
the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass

blades (See Fig. 11). For extremely heavy mulching,
reduce your width of cut on each pass and mow slowly.

• Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require
that an area be mulched a second time to completely
hide the clippings. When doing a second 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 lawn.

STORAGE

Immediately prepare your tractor for storage atthe end of the
season or ifthe tractor will not be used for 30 days or more.

CAUTION: 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 mowerfrom tractor forwinter 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.

• Clean entire tractor (See"CLEANING" inthe Customer
Responsibilities section of this manual).

• Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re-
placement instructions inthe Service and Adjustments

section of this manual).

• Lubricate as shown in the Customer Responsibilities
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 surfaces; sand
lightly before painting.

BATTERY

• Fully charge the battery for storage.

• After a period of time in storage, battery may require
recharging.

• To helpprevent corrosion andpower leakage during long
periods of storage, battery cables should be discon-
nected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see "TO CLEAN

BATTERY AND TERMINALS" inthe Customer Respon-
sibilities section of this manual).

• 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.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM

DEPOSITS FROM FORMING INESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM
PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL

HOSE, OR 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 DAMAGE 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 inthe
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 stor-

age. 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 drain the gas tank and carburetor ifusing fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine oil.
(See "ENGINE" inthe Customer Responsibilities section of

this manual).

CYLINDER(S)

• Remove spark plug(s).

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

• Turnignition keyto "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 your can starts to rust.

Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.

• Ifpossible, storeyour tractor indoors and cover itto 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.

IMPORTANT: NEVERCOVERTRACTORWHILEENGINE
AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
