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 ail movement on the slope and gradual. Do not

make sudden changes m speed oi c lection.

Avoid starting or stopping on a slop.. . ..res lose traction,

disengage the blades and proceed slowiy straight down the slope.

DO NOT:

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

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT (See

Fig. 9)

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 approxim.ifteiy 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.

TO OPERATE MOWER (See Fig. 10)

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,

• Select desired height of cut,

• Lower mower with attachment lift control.

• Start mower blades by engaging attacnment clutcn control.

• TO STOP MOWER BLADES - disengage attachment clutch control.

CAUTION: Do not operate the mower

without either the entire grass catcher,

on mowers so equipped, or the dis charge guard in place.

• Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position.

• Move throttle control to choke (|\|) position. 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, 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 (j\|) 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.

COLD WEATHER STARTING ( 50” F and below)

• When engine starts, aiiowengineto run with the throttle

control in the choke (j\|) position until the engine runs

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

temperature.

HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

• Before driving the unit in cold weather, the transmis

sion 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.

• Allow one minute for transmission to warm up. This can be done during the engine warm up period.

• The attachments can also be used during the engine warm-up period afterthetransmission has been warmed

up.

NOTE; If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or m 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.
