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 stow 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 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 foot on the
ground,

® Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

presence of children. Uniidren are often attracted to the
machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that

® 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.

resiiit in sewere eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating

your tractor or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recorr ide vision
safety mask over the spectacles or standard safety glasses.

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR

TU -Li - ^ y ,

Yourtractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing
switch. When engine is running, any attempt by the
operator 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
release pressure from clutch/brake pedal. Pedal should
remain in “BRAKE” position. Make sure parking brake
will hold tractor secure.

ENGINE -

' Move throttle control to slow position.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to slow 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
pletely, as descri we, before leav

A

ing the operator’s position; to empty
grass catcher, etc.

TO USk .4- A f 1 ^ TuN ^ r« .f (See Fig. 7)

Always operate engine at full throttle.

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

• Full throttle offers the best bagging and mower perfor
mance.

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 hct 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.

Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to
assure better mowing performance and proper dis
charge of material. Regulate ground speed by select
ing a low enough gear to give the mower cutting
performance 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

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).

• After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place

cables where they cannot come in contact with battery
terminals.

• Be sure battery drain tube is securely attached.

• 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 keyto“START”positionforafewseconds
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.
