Diaaes, 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 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 counterv/eights 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 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 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.

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE

The tires on your tractor were overinflated at the factory for shipping purposes. Correct tire pressure is important for best cutting performance.

• Reduce tire pressure to PSI shown in “PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” on page 3 of this manual.

CHECK DECK LEVELNESS

For best cutting results, mower housing should be properly leveled. See “TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

CHECK FOR PROPER POSITION OF ALL

BELTS

See the figures that are shown for replacing motion and mower blade drive belts in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual. Verify that the belts are routed

correctly.

CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM

After you learn how to operate your tractor, check to see that the brake is properly adjusted. See “TO ADJUST BRAKE” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

STOPPING (See Fig. 6)

MOWER BLADES -

• To stop mower blades, move attachment clutch lever to

“DISENGAGED" position.

GROUND DRIVE-

• To stop 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 “bacWire”.

• 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,

IMPORTANT; LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN "OFF" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY TO BE DISCHARGED, (DEAD).

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See Fig. 6)

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 level to desired position.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT (See Fig. 6|

Tne cutiirig ne.qtit is eonirelied by turning the height aojustnient knob iii desired direction.

• Turn knob clockwise ( AK) to raise cutting height.

• Turn knob counterclockwise (Km) to lower cutting height

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.

Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level surface. Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See “TO AD

JUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT’ in the Operation

section of this manual).

With mower in desired height of cut position, gauge wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off the

ground, install gauge wheel in appropriate hole with shoulder bolt, 3/8 washer, and 3/8-16 locknut and

tighten securely.

Repeat for opposite side installing gauge wheel in

same adjustment hole.

TO TRANSPORT (See Fiqs. 5 and 9)

When pushing or towing yourtractor, be sure to disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in freewheeling position. Free wheel control is located at the rear drawbar of tractor.

® Raise attachment lift to highest position with attach

ment lift control.

® Puli freewheel control out and down into the slot and

release so it is held in the disengaged position.

• Do not push or tow tractor at more than two (2) MPH.

• To reengage transmission, reverse above procedure. NOTE; To protect hood from damage when transporting

your tractor on a truck or a trailer, be sure hood is closed

and secured to tractor. Use an appropriate means of tying hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).

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 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.
