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

alcohol or drugs.
VVaich for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.
Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into

a trailer or truck.

1!. 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 tor holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could

overturn the machine. Ta// 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.

I

hese 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 it 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
Tragie 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.

® Depress clutch/brake pedal into full “BRAKE”, position

and hold.

• Place parking brake lever in “ENGAGED” position and
release pressure from clutch/brake pedal. Pedal should
remain in “BRAKE” position. Make sure parking brake

will hold tractor secure.

STOPPING (See Fig. 7)

MOWER BLADES -

• Move attachment clutch lever to “DISENGAGED” po

sition.

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 (*•) position.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to slow (««A)
position and allowing engine to idle before stopping may
cause engine to “backfire”.

• 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 com

plete ave, before leav

„

ing the operator's position; to empty

grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THR' QNTROL (See Fig. 7)

Always operate engine at full throttle.

• Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the
battery charging rate.

• Full ffircftY- .offers the best bagging and mower perfor
mance

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See Fig. 7)

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.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT (See Fig. 6)

The position of the attachment lift lever determines the
cutting height.

• Grasp lift lever.

• Fress 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 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.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this tractor does not cover items that have

been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain
tractor as instructed in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your tractor.

All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments section of
this manual should be checked at least once each season.

• Once a year you should replace the spark plug, clean
or replace air filter, and check blades and belts for
wear. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure
proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better
and last longer.

BEFORE EACH USE

• Check engine oil level.

» Check brake operation.
® Check tire pressure.

• Check for loose fasteners.

BATTERY

Your tractor has a battery charging system which is suffi
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.
TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS

Corrosion and dirt on the battery and terminals can cause

the battery to “leak” power.

• Open battery box door.

• 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 “CONNECT BATTERY” in the

Assembly section of this manual).

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
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 the first two hours of operation and
every 50 hours thereafter 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

IN-LINE FUEL FILTER (See Fig. 16)

The fuel filter should be replaced once each season. If fuel
filter becomes clogged, obstructing fuel flow to carburetor,

replacement is required.

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

• Place new fuel filter in position in fuel line with arrow
pointing towards carburetor.

• Be sure there are no fuel line leaks and clamps are
properly positioned.

• Immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline.

FIG. 16

CLEANING

• Clean engine, battery, seat, finish, etc. of all foreign
matter.

• Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline,

oil, etc.

• Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.

We do not recommend using a garden hose to clean your
tractor unless the electrical system, muffler, air filter and
carburetor are covered to keep water out. Water in engine
can result in a shortened engine life.

NEAREST AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER/
DEPARTMENT, WHICH HAS PROPER EQUIPMENT AND
EXPERIENCE TO MAKE ANY NECESSARY
ADJUSTMENTS.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig. 30j

The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjust
ment should not be necessary. However, minor adjust

ment may be required to compensate fordifferences in fuel,
temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need
adjustment, proceed as follows;

In general, turning idle mixture valve In (clockwise) de
creases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/
air mixture. Turning the idle mixture valve out (counter
clockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving
a richer fuel/air mixture.

IMPORTANT: DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLE VALVE AND

THE SEAT IN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS
TURNED IN TOO TIGHT.

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

• Air cleaner assembly must be assembled to the carbu

retor when making carburetor adjustments.

• Be sure the throttle control cable is adjusted properly

(see above).

• With engine off turn idle mixture valve in (clockwise)
closing it finger tight and then turn out (counterclock
wise) 1 full turn.
