betör“ di'imcüniing. Turn oif blades when nui 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.

!l. 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 s/owand gradúa/. 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 noi 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.

• 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.

• Full throttle otters the best bagging and mower perfor mance.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See

Fig. 9)

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.

NOTE: The effort to move the motion control lever will

reduce after the first few hours of use. This is normal.

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 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.

TO OPERATE MOWER (See Fig. 10)

Yourtractor 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.

• Start mower blades by engaging attachment clutch 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.

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 ha.s a batter/ charging system which is suffi cient for norma! use However, periodic charging of the battery with an automotive charger will extend its life.

• Keep battery and terminals clean

• Keep batierv bolts light.

• 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).

TO SHARPEN BLADE (See Fig. 14)

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).

V-BELTS

Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after 100 hours of

operation and replace if necessary. The belts are not

adjustable. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear.

TRANSAXLE COOLING

The fan and cooling fins of transmission should be kept

clean to assure proper cooling.

Do not attempt to clean fan or transmission while engine is running or while the transmission is hot.

• Inspect cooling fan to be sure fan blades are intact and clean.

• Inspect cooling fins for dirt, grass clippings and other

materials. To prevent damage to seals, do not use compressed air or high pressure sprayer to clean cooling fins.

TRANSAXLE PUMP FLUID

The transaxle was sealed at the factory and fluid mainte

nance is not required forthe life of the transaxle. Should the

transaxle ever leak or require searicing, contact your near

est authorized service center/department.

Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least once a year if the tractor is not used for 25 hours in one year.

Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine and after each eight (8) hours of operation. Tighten oil fill cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Figs. 15 and 16)

Determine temperature range expected before oil change.

All oil must meet API service classification SF, SG or SH.

• Be sure tractor is on level surface.

• Oil will drain more freely when warm.

• Catch oil in a suitable container. « Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt

to enter the engine when changing oil.

• Remove drain plug.

• After oil has drained completely, replace oil drain plug and tighten securely.

• Refill engine with oil through oil fill dipstick tube. Pour slowly. Do not overfill. For approximate capacity see “PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” on page 3 of this

manual.

• Use gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for checking level. Be sure dipstick cap is tightened securely for accurate

reading. Keep oil at “FULL” line on dipstick.

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 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 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.

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE
