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 plete ly, as de scribed above, be fore leav ing the op er a tor’s position.

TO USE THROTTLE CON TROL

Always operate engine at full throttle.

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

• Full throttle of fers the best bagging and mower per for mance.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACK WARD

The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the motion control lever.

1. Start tractor with motion control le ver in neutral (N) position.

2. Release parking brake.

Transmission Disengaged

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.).

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER AT TACH MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are rec om mend ed by and comply with spec i ﬁ ca tions of the manufacturer of your tractor. Use common sense when tow ing. Too heavy of a load, while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the factory, already ﬁ lled with sum mer weight oil.

1. Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.

2. Remove oil ﬁ ll cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds, remove and read oil level. If nec es sary, add oil until “FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overﬁ ll.

• For cold weather operation you should change oil for easier starting ((See the oil viscosity chart in the Main te nance sec tion of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Main te nance section in this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank ﬁ ller neck. Do not overﬁ ll. Use fresh, clean, reg u lar un lead ed gasoline with a min i mum of 87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase carbon and lead oxide de pos its and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quan tities that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.

CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gas o line near an open ﬂ ame. IMPORTANT: When operating in tem per a tures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean win ter grade gas o line to help in sure good cold weather start ing. CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or us ing ethanol or methanol) can attract mois ture which leads to separation and for ma tion of acids during storage. Acid ic gas can damage the fuel system of an en gine while in storage. To avoid en gine prob lems, the fuel system should be emp tied 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 emp ty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Stor age In struc tions for additional in for ma tion. Never use engine or car bu re tor clean er prod ucts in the fuel tank or per ma nent dam age may occur.

TO START ENGINE

When starting the engine for the ﬁ rst 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.

1. Be sure freewheel control is in the

trans mis sion en gaged position.

2. Sit on seat in operating position,

depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake.

3. Place motion control lever in neutral

(N) position.

4. Move attachment clutch to dis en gaged

position.

5. Move throttle control to choke po si tion. NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting procedures below.

6. Insert key into ignition and turn key clock wise to start position and release key as soon as engine starts. Do not run starter continuously for more than ﬁ fteen sec onds per minute. If the engine does not start after several attempts, move throt tle 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)

7. When engine starts, move the throt tle control to the fast position.

• The attachments and ground drive can

now be used. If the engine does not accept the load, restart the en gine and allow it to warm up for one minute using the choke as de scribed above.

COLD WEATHER STARTING ( 50° F and below)

7. When engine starts, leave throttle control in choke position until engine warms up and begins to run roughly. Once rough running begins, im me di ate ly move the throttle control to the fast position. Engine warm-up may take from several seconds to several minutes (the colder the tem per a ture, the longer the warm-up).

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP Before driving the unit in cold weath er,

the trans mis sion should be warmed up as follows:

1. Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

2. Place the motion control lever in neutral. Release the parking brake and let the clutch/brake slowly re turn to operating po si tion.

3. Allow one minute for trans mis sion to warm up. This can be done during the engine warm up period.

• The attachments can also be used dur-

ing the engine warm-up period after the

trans mis sion has been warmed up. NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold temperatures (below 32 F) the carburetor fuel mixture may need to be adjusted for best engine performance (see “TO ADJUST CARBURETOR” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

PURGE TRANSMISSION

CAUTION: Never engage or dis-

en gage freewheel lever while the engine is run ning. To ensure proper operation and per for mance, it is rec om mend ed that the trans mis sion be purged before operating trac tor for the ﬁ rst time. This procedure will remove any trapped air inside the trans mis sion which may have de vel oped dur ing shipping of your tractor. IMPORTANT: Should your transmission require removal for service or re place ment, it should be purged after re in stal la tion before operating the tractor.

1. Place tractor safely on level surface with engine off and parking brake set.

2. Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in “transmission disengaged” po si tion (See “TO TRANS PORT” in this section of manual).

3. Sitting in the tractor seat, start en gine. After the engine is running, move throttle control to slow position. With motion control lever in neutral (N) po si tion, slowly disengage clutch/brake pedal.

4. Move motion control lever to full for ward position and hold for ﬁ ve (5) seconds. Move lever to full reverse position and hold for ﬁ ve (5) seconds. Repeat this procedure three (3) times.

NOTE: During this step there will be no movement of drive wheels. The air is being removed from hydraulic drive sys tem.

5. Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position. Shutoff engine and set parking brake.

6. Engage transmission by placing free wheel control in “transmission engaged” position (See “TO TRANS PORT” in this sec tion of manual).

7. Sitting in the tractor seat, start en gine. After the engine is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed. With motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly dis en gage clutch/brake pedal.

8. Slowly move motion control lever forward, after the tractor moves ap prox i mate ly ﬁ ve (5) feet, slowly move motion control lever to reverse po si tion. After the tractor moves ap prox i mate ly ﬁ ve (5) feet return the motion control lever to the neutral (N) position. Repeat this pro ce dure with the motion control lever three (3) times.

Your transmission is now purged and ready for normal operation.

MOWING TIPS

• Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing performance. See “TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING” in the Service and Adjustments sec tion of this manual.

• The left hand side of mower should be used for trim ming.

• Drive so that clippings are dis charged onto the area that has already been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the tractor. This will result in a more even dis tri bu tion 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 ﬁ nished.

• If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to reduce load and possible ﬁ re hazard from dried clip pings. Make ﬁ rst 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 throt tle when mowing to assure better mow ing

performance and proper dis charge of material. Regulate ground speed by se lect ing a low enough gear to give the mower cut ting per for mance as well as the quality of cut desired.

• When operating attachments, se lect a ground speed that will suit the terrain and give best performance of the at tach ment being used.

TO SHARPEN BLADE NOTE: We do not recommend sharp-

en ing blade - but if you do, be sure the blade is balanced. 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 ﬁ le

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 bal anc er, follow the in struc tions supplied with

bal anc er.) NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing blade. The lobes of the center hole may appear to be centered, but are not.

• Slide blade on to 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 po si tion. If either end of the

blade moves downward, sharpen the

heavy end until the blade is balanced.

STORAGE

Immediately prepare your tractor for stor age at the end of the season or if the tractor will not be used for 30 days or more.

WARNING: Never store the trac tor with gas o line in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open ﬂ ame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any en clo sure.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractor for winter storage. When mower is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thor oughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.

1. Clean entire tractor (See “CLEAN ING”

in the Maintenance section of this manual).

2. Inspect and replace belts, if nec es sary

(See belt re place ment in struc tions in the Service and Ad just ments section of this manual).

3. Lubricate as shown in the Main te -

nance section of this man ual.

4. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws

are securely fastened. In spect moving parts for damage, break age and wear. Replace if nec es sary.

5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint

surfaces; sand lightly before paint ing.

BATTERY

• Fully charge the battery for storage.

• After a period of time in storage, battery

may require recharging.

• To help prevent corrosion and power

leakage during long periods of stor age, battery cables should be dis con nect ed and battery cleaned thor ough ly (see “TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TER MI NALS” in the Maintenance section of this man u al).

• After cleaning, leave cables dis con -

nect ed and place cables where they cannot come in contact with battery terminals.

• If battery is removed from tractor for

storage, do not store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent

gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel hose, or tank during storage.

Also, 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.

• Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor clean er products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in min i miz ing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor age. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or stor age container. Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the sta bi liz er to reach the carburetor. Do not empty 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 Maintenance section of this man ual).

CYLINDER(S)

1. Remove spark plug(s).

2. Pour one ounce of oil through spark

plug hole(s) into cylinder(s).

3. Turn ignition key to start po si tion for a

few seconds to distribute oil.

4. Replace with new spark plug(s).

OTHER

• Do not store gasoline from one sea son 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 in doors 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. Plas tic cannot breathe which allows con den sa tion to form and will cause your tractor to rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover tractor while en gine and exhaust areas are still warm.
