SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS.

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

CAUTION: Always disconnect spark
plug wire and place wire where it cannot
contact spark plug in order to prevent
accidental starting when setting up,
transporting, adjusting or making
repairs.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

• 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 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 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. 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 unloading the machine into
a trailer or truck.

II. 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.

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 recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights 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 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.

III. 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.

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 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 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. Adjust and service as
required.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR TRACTOR

PREPARE BATTERY (See Fig. 2)

CAUTION: Wear eye and face shield.
Wash hands or clothing immediately if

accidentally in contact with battery acid.
Do not smoke. Fumes from charged

battery acid are explosive.
Read the instructions included with the

battery vent caps. Always wear gloves,
clothing and goggles to protect your
hands, skin and eyes.

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.

• See instructions packed with vent caps in parts bag.

• Fill battery with acid. Fill each cell until it reaches the
bottom of the vent wells. Do not overfill.

• Allow battery to stand and settle for at least thirty
minutes. After standing, check the level of acid. If
below the vent wells, add more acid until the correct
level is reached.

While battery is standing (after adding acid) and later, while
battery is being charged, continue with assembly of tractor.

IMPORTANT: TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE OF YOUR
BATTERY, IT IS NECESSARY THAT THE BATTERY BE
CHARGED BEFORE USE. FAILURE TO CHARGE
BATTERY CAN RESULT IN A SHORTENED BATTERY
LIFE.

• Charge battery at a rate of 6 amperes for 1 hour. Use
a 12 volt battery charger. Observe all safety precau­tions required for battery charging.

• Check the acid level after the battery is charged. If the
acid has fallen below the correct level, add distilled or
iron free water.

• Install the vent caps to cover the vent wells. Wash the
top of the battery with water to remove any acid, then
wipe dry.

• Check battery case for leakage to make sure that no
damage has occurred in handling.

• Dispose of excess battery acid. Neutralize acid for
disposal by adding it to 2 gallons of water in a five gallon
plastic container. Stir with a wooden or plastic paddle
while adding baking soda until the addition of more
soda causes no more foaming.

• Follow instructions on how to install battery.

• Turn ignition key to “OFF” position and 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 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 com­pletely, as described above, before leav­ing the operator’s position; to empty
grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 9)

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 per­formance.

• 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 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.

OPERATION

TO OPERATE MOWER (See Fig. 10)

• Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded
gasoline. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase carbon
and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life).

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES
BELOW 32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE
GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER
STARTING.

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 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 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 (See Fig.12).

• If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to
reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip­pings. Make first cut relatively high; the second to the
desired height.

• 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 mowing 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 attachment being used.

FIG. 12

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 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 so that
the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass
blades (See Fig. 13). For extremely heavy mulching,
reduce your width of cut on each pass and mow slowly.

MAX 1/3

FIG. 13

• 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.

TRACTOR

Always observe safety rules when performing 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 3 of this manual).

• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chemi­cals which can harm rubber.

• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and
other hazards that may cause tire damage.

BLADE CARE

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

BLADE REMOVAL (See Fig. 14)

• Raise mower to highest position to allow access to
blades.

• Remove hex bolt, lock washer and flat washer securing
blade.

• Install new or resharpened blade with trailing edge up
towards deck as shown.

• Reassemble hex bolt, lock washer and flat washer in
exact order as shown.

• Tighten bolt securely (30-35 Ft. Lbs. torque).

IMPORTANT: BLADE BOLT IS GRADE 8 HEAT TREATED.

TO SHARPEN BLADE (See Fig. 15)

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).

• 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.

NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing blade. The lobes of
the center hole may appear to be centered, but are not.

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 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 if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine
oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Customer Responsibilities
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 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 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: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE
AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
