il. SLOPE OPERATION Slopes are a major factor related to ¡oss-of-controi and

iipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Ail slopes require extra caution, if you cannot back up the slope or if you fee! 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.

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 ma i.ice by putting your foot on the

ground.

• Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

DEATH.

Tragic 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.

• 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 “bacWire”.

• Turn ignition key to “OFF” position and remove key. Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized use.

TO ADJUST MfV.iihF 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 tc inches during the cool season e ver 3 inches

during hot months. For healthie etter looking lawns, mow often and after mode

• 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.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuël tank. Use ire.-h, i'lf.oíi iegula' ui .leaded gasoline with o mininujin uf 8 / octane (Use of leade J gasoline will increase caibori and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life). Do not r t‘k oii w ith gasoline.

Purchase fuel in quani’ties that can be used within 20

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 damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine

problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage 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 ças tank; filier neck. Do notoverflil. Wipe off any spilled oil or fyel. Do not store spill or

use gasoline near an open fieme.
