Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

DANGER: 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.

• Do not operate machine without the entire grass catcher,

WARNING: In order to prevent ac ci ­den tal starting when setting up, trans­ port ing, ad just ing or making repairs,
al ways dis con nect spark plug wire
and place wire where it can not contact
spark plug.

WARNING: Do not coast down a hill
in neutral, you may lose control of the
tractor.

WARNING: Tow only the attachments
that are rec om mend ed by and comply
with spec i fi ca tions of the man u fac tur er
of your tractor. Use common sense
when towing. Operate only at the low­ est possible speed when on a slope.
Too heavy of a load, while on a slope,
is dan ger ous. Tires can lose trac tion
with the ground and cause you to lose
control of your tractor.

known to the State of Cal i for nia to cause can cer and
birth de fects or oth er re pro duc tive harm.

discharge guard, or other safety devices in place and
working.

• Slow down before turning.

• Never leave a running machine unattended. Always
turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and
remove keys before dismounting.

• Disengage blades when not mowing. Shut off engine
and wait for all parts to come to a complete stop before
cleaning the machine, removing the grass catcher, or
unclogging the discharge guard.

• Operate machine 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.

• Always wear eye protection when operating ma­chine.

• 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 them selves and others from serious injury.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel
weights or counterweights.

• 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.

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related ac ces so ries
contain lead and lead compounds, chem i cals known
to the State of Cal i for nia to cause can cer and birth
defects or oth er re pro duc tive harm. Wash hands
after handling.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the
machine and in the manual before starting.

• Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under
the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at
all times.

• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the
in struc tions, to operate the machine.

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

• Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operat­ing. 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 back­ ing.

• Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid
discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Ma­terial may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the
blades when crossing gravel surfaces.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and
tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it,
do not mow it.

• Mow up and down slopes, not across.

• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.
Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have
to stop or shift while on the slope.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.

Always keep the machine in gear when going down

slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the
tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed
slowly straight down the slope.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction,
which could cause the machine to roll over.

• Use extra care while operating machine with grass
catchers or other at tach ments; they can affect the
stability of the machine. Do no use on steep slopes.

• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot
on the ground.

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel is over
the edge or if the edge caves in.

SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

III. 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 assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.

• Keep children out of the mowing area and in the watchful
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.

• Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the
area.

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

• Never carry children, even with the blades shut off. They
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with
safe machine operation. Children who have been given
rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing
area for another ride and be run over or backed over
by the machine.

• Never allow children to operate the machine.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may block your view of a
child.

IV. TOWING

• Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for
towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the
hitch point.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight
limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.

• Never allow children or others in or on towed equip­ment.

• On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may
cause loss of traction and loss of control.

• Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

V. SERVICE

SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme
care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable
and the vapors are explosive.

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.

• Use only approved gasoline container.

• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine run­ning. Allow engine to cool before refueling.

• Never fuel the machine indoors.

• Never store the machine or fuel container where there
is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water
heater or other appliances.

• Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or
trailer bed with plastic liner. Always place containers
on the ground away from your vehicle when filling.

• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer
and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then
refuel such equipment with a portable container, rather
than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi­ately.

• Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten
securely.

GENERAL SERVICE

• Never operate machine in a closed area.

• Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment
is in safe working 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 and remove any fuel­soaked debris. Allow machine to cool before storing.

• If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the
machine. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

• Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine
run ning.

• Check grass catcher components and the discharge
guard frequently and replace with manufacturer's rec­ommended parts, when necessary.

• Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear
gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

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

• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.

• Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operat­ing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Al ways look down and behind before and while back­ing.

• Never carry children, even with the blades shut off. They
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with
safe machine operation. Children who have been given
rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing
area for another ride and be run over or backed over
by the machine.

• Keep children out of the mowing area and in the watchful
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.

• Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the
area.

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

• Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.

• Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have
to stop or shift while on the slope.

• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the
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.

• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

OPERATION

The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result
in severe eye dam age. Always wear safety glass es or eye shields while operating your tractor or
per form ing any adjustments or repairs. We rec om mend a wide vision safety mask over spectacles
or stan dard safety glasses.

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR

TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 6)

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens­ ing switch. When engine is running, any attempt by the
op er a tor to leave the seat without first setting the parking
brake will shut off the engine.

• Depress clutch/brake pedal into full “BRAKE” position
and hold.

• Place parking brake lever in “ENGAGED” position
and re lease pressure from clutch/brake pedal. Pedal
should re main in “BRAKE” position. Make sure parking
brake will hold tractor secure.

STOPPING (See Fig. 6)

MOWER BLADES -

• To stop mower blades,move attachment clutch lever
to “DIS EN GAGED” po si tion.

GROUND DRIVE -

• To stop ground drive, depress clutch/brake pedal into
full “BRAKE” po si tion.

• Move gearshift lever to neutral (N) po si tion.

ENGINE -

• Move throttle control between half and full speed (fast)
position.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control between half and
full speed (fast) position, before stop ping may cause engine
to “back fire”.

• Turn ignition key to “OFF” position and remove key.
Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent
un au tho rized use.

• Never use choke to stop engine.

IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY
POSITION OTHER THAN "OFF" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY
TO BE DIS CHARGED, (DEAD).

NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing
idle with the engine running, hot engine exhaust gases may
cause “brown ing” of grass. To eliminate this possibility, al­ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

CAUTION: Always stop tractor com­ plete ly, as described above, before leav­ ing the operator's position; to empty
grass catch er, etc.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 6)

Always operate engine at full speed (fast).

• Operating engine at less than full speed (fast) reduces
the engine's operating efficiency.

• Full speed (fast) of fers the best mower per for mance.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD
(See Fig. 6)

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

• Start tractor with clutch/brake pedal depressed and
gearshift lever in neutral (N) position.

• Move gearshift lever to desired position.

• Slowly release clutch/brake pedal to start move­ment.

IMPORTANT: BRING TRACTOR TO A COMPLETE STOP
BEFORE SHIFTING OR CHANGING GEARS. FAILURE
TO DO SO WILL SHORTEN THE USEFUL LIFE OF YOUR
TRANSAXLE.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUT TING HEIGHT
(See Fig. 7)

The po si tion of the at tach ment lift le ver (A) de ter mines the
cut ting height.

A

FIG. 7

• Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting height
slot.

The cutting height range is ap prox i mate ly 1" 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

11

in height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut
relatively high; the second to de sired height.

OPERATION

REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)

Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System
(ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse
direction 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 attachment 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.

USING THE REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM -

• Depress clutch/brake pedal all the way down and

hold.

• With engine running, turn ignition key counterclockwise

to ROS "ON" position.

• Look down and behind before backing.

• Move gear shift lever to reverse (R) po si tion and slowly

release clutch/brake pedal to start movement.

• When use of the ROS is no longer needed, turn the

ignition key clockwise to engine "ON" position.

TO OPERATE MOWER (See Fig. 8)

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 equipment on rough,
rolling terrain or hills.

• Select desired height of cut with attachment lift lever.

• Start mower blades by engaging at tach ment clutch
control.

TO STOP MOWER BLADES ­disengage at tach ment clutch con trol.

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.).

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill.
Use fresh, clean, regular un lead ed 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 ti ties that can be used within 30 days to assure
fuel freshness.

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

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES

BELOW32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE
GAS O LINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER
START ING.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called
gas o hol or using ethanol or methanol) can at­tract moisture which leads to sep a ra tion and
for ma tion 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 stor age 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
sea son. See Storage In struc tions for additional
information. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER AT TACH ­MENTS

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, 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 sum mer 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
Maintenance sec tion of this manual).

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

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 7)

When starting the engine for the first time or if the engine
has run out of fuel, it will take extra cranking time to move
fuel from the tank to the engine.

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

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

• Move attachment clutch to “DISENGAGED” position.

• Move throttle control to choke ( ) position.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting
pro ce dures 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
sec onds per minute. If the engine does not start after
several attempts, move throttle control to fast position,
wait a few minutes and try again. If engine still does
not start, move the throttle control back to the choke (

) position and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)

• When engine starts, move the throttle control to the
fast position.

• The attachments and ground drive can now be used. If
the engine does not accept the load, restart the engine
and allow it to warm up for one minute using the choke
as described above.

13

OPERATION

COLD WEATHER STARTING ( 50° F and below)

• When engine starts, allow engine to run with the throttle
control in the choke (
roughly, then move throttle control to fast position. This
may require an engine warm-up period from several
seconds to several minutes, depending on the tem­ per a ture.

• The attachments can also be used during the engine
warm-up period.

NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold
tem per a tures (below 32 F) the carburetor fuel mixture may
need to be adjusted for best engine performance. See “TO
ADJUST CAR BU RE TOR” in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual.

MOWING TIPS

• Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing per­ for mance. See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the
Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

• The left hand side of mower should be used for trim­ ming.

• 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, drive ways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow
in the opposite direction making left hand turns until
finished (See Fig. 9).

) position until the engine runs

FIG. 9

• 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
mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to
dry before mowing.

• Always operate engine at full throttle when mow-
ing to assure better mowing performance and proper
dis charge of ma te ri al. Regulate ground speed by se­ lect ing a low enough gear to give the mower cutting
per for mance 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.

Always observe safety rules when per form ing any main­ te nance.

BRAKE OPERATION

If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to stop at highest
speed in high est gear on a level, dry concrete or paved
surface, then brake must be checked and ad just ed. (See
“TO ADJUST BRAKE” in the Ser vice and Ad just ments
section of this manual).

TIRES

• Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See “PROD UCT
SPEC I FI CA TIONS” section of this man ual).

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

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

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and pre vent flat tires due to
slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local
parts dealer. Tire sealant also pre vents tire dry rot and
corrosion.

OPERATOR PRESENCE SYS TEM AND REVERSE OP­ERATION SYSTEM (ROS)

Be sure operator presence and reverse operation sys tems
are work ing properly. If your tractor does not function as
described, repair the problem immediately.

• The engine should not start unless the brake pedal is
fully de pressed, and the attachment clutch con trol is
in the dis en gaged position.

CHECK OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM

• When the engine is running, any attempt by the op er a tor
to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake
should shut off the engine.

• When the engine is running and the at tach ment clutch
is engaged, any attempt by the operator to leave the
seat should shut off the engine.

• The attachment clutch should never operate 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" position and the at tach ment clutch
engaged, any attempt by the operator to shift into
reverse should shut off the engine.

• When the engine is running with the ignition switch in
the ROS "ON" position and the at tach ment clutch en­gaged, any attempt by the operator to shift into reverse
should NOT shut off the engine.

TO SHARPEN BLADE (See Fig. 11)

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 un­ bal anced blade will cause excessive vibration and even tual
dam age 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
bal anc er.)

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 suf fi cient
for normal use. However, periodic charging of the battery
with an automotive charger will extend its life.

• Keep battery and terminals clean.

• Keep battery bolts tight.

• Keep small vent holes open.

• Recharge at 6-10 amperes for 1 hour.

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
nec es sary.

TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS
Corrosion and dirt on the battery and terminals can cause

the battery to “leak” power.

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

• Rinse the battery with plain water and dry.

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

• Coat terminals with grease or petroleum jelly.

• Reinstall battery (See “REPLACING BATTERY” in the
Service and Adjustment sec tion of this manual).

V-BELTS

Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after 100 hours and
replace if necessary. The belts are not adjustable. Re place
belts if they begin to slip from wear.

TRANSAXLE COOLING

Keep transaxle free from build-up of dirt and chaff which
can restrict cooling.

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)

improve starting in cold weather, they will result in increased
oil consumption when used above 32°F. Check your engine
oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage
from running low on oil.

Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at least
once a year if the tractor is not used for 50 hours in one
year.

Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine
and after each eight (8) hours of operation. Tighten oil fill
cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Figs. 12 and 13)

Determine temperature range expected before oil change.
All oil must meet API service classification SG-SL.

• Be sure tractor is on level surface.

• Oil will drain more freely when warm.

engine dam age from overheating. Clean with a wire brush
or com pressed air to re move dirt and stubborn dried gum
fibers.

AIR FILTER

Your engine will not run properly using a dirty air filter.
Service air cleaner more often under dusty conditions. See
Engine Manual.

ENGINE OIL FILTER

Replace the engine oil filter every season or every other
oil change if the tractor is used more than 100 hours in
one year.

MUFFLER

Inspect and replace corroded muffler and spark arrester
(if equipped) as it could create a fire hazard and/or dam­age.

SPARK PLUGS

Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each mowing sea­son or after every 100 hours of use, whichever comes first.
Spark plug type and gap setting is shown in "PROD UCT
SPECIFICATIONS" section of this manual.

IN-LINE FUEL FILTER (See Fig. 14)

The fuel filter should be replaced once each season. If fuel
filter becomes clogged, ob struct ing fuel flow to car bu re tor,
re place ment is re quired.

• With engine cool, remove filter and plug fuel line sec­ tions.

TO AD JUST CHOKE CON TROL

The choke control has been preset at the factory and ad­ just ment should not be necessary. If adjustment is neces­sary, see engne manual.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

Your carburetor is not adjustable. If your engine does not
operate properly due to suspected carburetor problems,
take your tractor to an authorized service center for repair
and/or adjustment.

INTERLOCKS AND RELAYS

Loose or damaged wiring may cause your tractor to run
poorly, stop running, or prevent it from starting.

• Check wiring. See electrical wiring diagram in the
Repair Parts section.

24

STORAGE

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

WARNING: Never store the trac tor with
gas o line in the tank inside a building
where fumes may reach an open flame
or spark. Allow the engine to cool before
storing in any en clo sure.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractor for winter storage. When mower
is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thor oughly, remove
all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.

• Clean entire tractor (See “CLEANING” in the Main te ­nance section of this manual).

• Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re­ place ment instructions in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual).

• Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this
man ual.

• 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 help prevent corrosion and power leakage during
long periods of storage, battery cables should be dis­ con nect ed and battery cleaned thoroughly (see “TO
CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS” in the Mainte­nance sec tion 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 IN ES SEN TIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH
AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FIL TER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK
DURING STORAGE. ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT
ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING
ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOIS TURE WHICH
LEADS TO SEPARATION AND FOR MA TION OF ACIDS DURING
STOR AGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM
OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

• Empty the fuel tank by starting 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 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 empty
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 Maintenance section of
this man ual).

CYLINDER(S)

• 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 EN GINE AND
EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.

Engine Power Rating Information

The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engi­neers) code J11940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and
corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-5). Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by,
among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given both the wide array of prod­ucts on which engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, the
gas engine will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment (actual “on-site” or
net horsepower). This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, accessories (air cleaner, ex­haust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature,
humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton
may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.

an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation(s) or exclusion(s)
may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights which vary from state to
state.
