Stop engine before removing grass catcher or unclogging

chute.
Mow oniy in daylight or good artificial light.
Do not operate the machine while under the influence of

alcohol or drugs.
Watch for iratfic 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
tipoveraccidents, which can result in severe injury ordeath.
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 iimbs, 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 slopes slow and gradual. Do not
make sudden changes in speed or direction.

Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose fraction,
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, it possible,

• Do not movr 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 toot on the

ground.

• Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

® 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 r IRWaRO T f^D 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.

STOPPING (See Fig. 6j

MOWER BLADES ■

• Move attachment clutch lever to “DISENGAGED” po

GROUND DRIVE -

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

• Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position.

IMPORTANT: THE MOTION CONTROL LEVER DOES
NOT RETURN TO NEUTRAL (N) POSITION WHEN THE
CLUTCH/BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED,

ENGINE -

• Move throttle control to slow i -^) position.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to slow c^)
position and allowing engine to idle before stopping may

cause engine to “backfire”

• Turn ignition key to “OFT” 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.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT (See

Fig. 6)

The cutting height is controlled by turning the height
adjustment knob in desired direction.

• Turn knob clockwise (“ t) to raise cutting height.

• Turn knob counterclockwise (AT) 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 m
height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut
relatively high; the second to desired height.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 16)

• The engine in yourtractor has been shipped, from the
factory,' already filled with summer weight oil.

• Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.

• Unthread and remove oil fill cap/dipstick; wipe oil off.
Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and rest oil fill cap on
the tube. Do not thread the cap onto the tube. 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 oii, see the Customer Responsibili
ties 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

ment may be required to compensate for differences mfuel,
temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need

adjustment, proceed as follows;

In general, turning the mixture screw in (dockyrise) de

creases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leanertuel/
air mixture. Turning the mixture screw out (counterclock
