SAFETY RULES
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers
IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
A
GENERAL OPERATION
Read, understand, and follow all 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 ordeath. All slopes require extra
caution. If you cannot back up the
slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do pot 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. 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. 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.
III. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aiert 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.
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 cari^ children. They may fall 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.
Look for this symbol to point out im portant safety precautions. It means CAUTION!!! BECOME ALERT!!! YOUR

OPERATION
The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your tractor or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over the spectacles or standard safety glasses.
HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR
TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 7)
Your tractor 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.
STOPPING (See Fig. 7J
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 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 describe above, before leav
A
ing the operator's position; to empty grass catcher, etc.
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (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.
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.
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 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.

OPERATION
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 12)
The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the factory, already filled with summer weight oil.
Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.
Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds, 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 oil, 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 with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.
IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN 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 darnage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, 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.
CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any
A
spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame.
TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 7)
When starting the engine for the first time or if the engine
has run out of fuel, it will take extra cranking time to move
fuel from the tank to the engine.
Be sure freewheel control is in the transmission en gaged position.
Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake.
Place motion control lever in neutral (N) position.
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 sec onds 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 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, allow engineto run with the throttle
control in the choke 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 tem perature.
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.

OPERATION
PURGE TRANSMISSION
CAUTION: Never engage or disengage
freewheel lever while the engine is run
A
To ensure proper operation and performance, it is recom
mended that the transmission be purged before operating tractor for the first time. This procedure will remove any
trapped air inside the transmission which may have devel
oped during shipping of your tractor.
IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOURTRANSMISSION REQUIRE
REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT SHOULD BE PURGED AFTER REINSTALLATION BEFORE OPERATING THE TRACTOR.
Place tractor safely on level surface with engine off and parking brake set.
Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in freewheeling position (See “TO TRANSPORT” in
this section of manual).
Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. Afterthe engine is running, move throttle control to slow position. With motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly
disengage clutch/brake pedal.
Move motion control lever to full forward position and hold for five (5) seconds. Move lever to full reverse position and hold for five (5) seconds. Repeat this procedure three (3) times.
NOTE; During this procedure there will be no movement of drive wheels. The air is being removed from hydraulic drive system.
Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position. Shut
off engine and set parking brake.
Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in
driving position (See ‘TO TRANSPORT” in this section of manual).
Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. Afterthe engine
is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed. With motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly disengage clutch/brake pedal.

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.
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 distribution 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. 10).
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to
reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip pings. Make first cut relatively high; the second to the desired height.
Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to
dry before mowing.
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 the attachment being used.

Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See “PROD UCT SPECIFICATIONS” on page 3 of this manual).
Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chemi
cals which can harm rubber.
Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and other hazards that may cause tire damage.
NOTE; To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local
parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and
corrosion.
BLADE CARE
For best results mower blades must be kept sharp. Re
place bent or damaged blades.
TO SHARPEN BLADE (See Fig. 12)
Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration and even tual damage to mower and engine.
The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the mower.
To check blade balance, you will need a 5/8“ diameter steel bolt, pin, or a cone balancer. (When using a cone
balancer, follow the instructions supplied with bal
ancer).
Slide blade onto an unthreaded portion of the steel bolt
or pin and hold the bolt or pin parallel with the ground. If blade is balanced, it should remain in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade moves downward, sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced.
NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing blade. The lobes of
the center hole may appear to be centered, but are not.
BLADE REMOVAL (See Fig. 11)
Raise mower to highest position to allow access to blades.
Remove hex bolt, lock washer and flat washer securing
blade.
» Install new or resharpened blade with trailing edge up
towards deck as shown.
Reassemble hex bolt, lock washer and flat washer in
exact order as shown.

TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE (See Fig. XX)
The throttle control has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary. Check adjustment as described below before loosening cable. If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows;
With engine not running* move throttle control lever from slow to choke position. Slowly move lever from choke to fast position.
Check that holes “A” in governor control lever and hole
in governor plate line-up. If holes “A” are not aligned, loosen clamp screw and move throttle cable until holes are aligned. Tighten clamp screw securely.
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).
FINAL SETTING -
• Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes. Make final adjustments with engine running and shift/motion controi lever in neutrai (N) position.
Move throttle control lever to slow position. With finger, rotate and hold throttle lever against idle speed screw. Turn idle speed screw to attain 1750 RPM.
While still holding throttle lever against idle speed screw, turn idle mixture valve full travel clockwise then counterclockwise until engine runs rough. Turn valve to a point midway between those two positions. Re
lease throttle lever.
ACCELERATION TEST -
• Move throttle control lever from slow to fast position. If engine hesitates or dies, turn idie mixture vaive out
(counterclockwise) 1 /8 turn. Repeat test and continue to adjust, if necessary, until engine accelerates smoothly.
High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust ­damage may result.
IMPORTANT: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE
GOVERNOR, WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER ENGINE SPEED. OVERSPEEDING THE ENGINE ABOVE THE FACTORY HIGH SPEED SETTING CAN BE DANGEROUS. IF YOU THINK THE ENGINE-GOVERNED HIGH SPEED NEEDS ADJUSTING, CONTACT YOUR NEAREST AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER/ DEPARTMENT, WHICH HAS PROPER EQUIPMENT AND EXPERIENCE TO MAKE ANY NECESSARY
ADJUSTMENTS.
TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig. 2B)
NOTE: The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is equipped with an idle fuel adjusting needle with a limiter cap, which allows some adjustment within the limits al
lowed by the cap. Do not attempt to remove the lirhiter cap. The limiter cap cannot be removed without breaking the adjusting needle.
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.

Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank of 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 stabiIizer to allow the stabiIizer 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). Turnjgnitiqn key to “START position for a 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 coverthat
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.
