IMPORTANT: THISCUTTINGMACHINEISCAPABLEOFAMPUTATiNGHANDSANDFEETANDTHROWlNGOBJECTS. FA!LURETOOBSERVETHEFOLLOWiNGSAFETYiNSTRUCT!ONSCOULDRESULTINSERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

Read, understand, and follow a!i 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 necsssa* v, arc tnen, turn slowly

and gradually dcv'nhn,, J possib'e.

• Do not mow near drop-orbs, diiche: c embankments. The

mower could sudden ^ : «r a v--‘-<;el is over the edge of a cliff or dltcr., or * an eoje cnves r.

• Do not mow on wc: grasr. Reduceu 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.

Hi. 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. /Veverassume 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 fail 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 nec essary.

• 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.

OPERATION

ADD GASOUNE

• 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 ¡N TEMPERATURES

BELOW 32“F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE

GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER

STARTING.

WARNING; 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. To avoid engine probiems, 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 season. See Storage Instruc

tions for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 11)

When starting engine for the first time or if engine has

run out of fuel, it will take extra cranking time to move

fuel from the tank to the engine.

• Depress the clutch/brake pedal and set the parking

brake,

• Place gearshift lever in “NEUTRAL” position. ® Move attachment clutch to “DISENGAGED” position.

® Pull choke control out to “CHOKE” position for cold

engine start. For warm engine start do not use choke

control.

® Move throttle control to midway between “FAST” and

“SLOW” positions.

® Turn ignition 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 engine does not start after several attempts, move throttle control to “FAST" position,

wait a few minutes and try again.

• When engine starts, slowly push choke control in. ® Move throttle control to “FAST” position. ® Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes before

engaging clutch/brake pedal or attachment clutch switch.

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.

• Use the runner on the right hand side of mower as

a guide. The blade cuts approximately an inch out side the runner (See Fig. 12).

« 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 tractor. This will result in a more even distribu

tion 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. 14).

® 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. Wei grass will

plug mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to dry before mov/ing.

® Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing

to assure better mowing performance and proper discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by selecting a tow enough gear to give the mower cut ting performance as well as the quality of cut de sired.

• When operating attachments, select a ground speed that will suit the terrain and give best performance of the attachment being used.

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.

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 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 Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).

• inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re placement instructions in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

• Lubricate as shown in the Customer Responsibilities section of this manual.

• Be sure that ail 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 disconnected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see “TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS” in the Cus

tomer Responsibilities section of this manual).

cables where they cannot come in contact with battery terminals.

• Be sure battery drain tube is securely attached.

• 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 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 orcarburetor 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 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 “ST ART” position fora 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.
