overturn the machine Tall grass can hide obstacles

• Use slow speed Choose alow 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

Keepallmovementontheslopesslowandgradual Donor 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:

= Donor 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

ment knob in desired direction

Turn knob clockwise (t_,_) to raise cutting height

= Turn knob counterclockwise (_) to lower cutting

height.

The cutting height range is approximately 1-1/4" to 4-1/4" The heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip

with the engine not running. These heights are approxi- mate 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, mew 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,

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER G RADE

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 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 spilled oil or fuel, Do not store, spill or

use gasoline near an open flame,

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 6)

When starting engine for the first time or if engine has run

out of fuel, it will take extra cranking time to move fuel from the tank to the engine

Depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake. Place gearshift lever in neutral (N) position,

° Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position

Pull choke control out to choke (N) position for cold engine start, For' warm engine start do not use choke

control.

o Move throttle control to midway between fast ('_) and

slow (,,_.) positions. Insert key into ignition and tum key clockwise to"START"

position and release key as soon as engine starts. Do not run starter continuously for more than fifteen

seconds per minute. If engine does not start after several attempts, move throttle control to fast (,_) position, wait a few minutes and try again_

When engine starts, slowly push choke control in_ Move throttle control to fast ('_) position.

Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes before engaging drive or attachments

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 Adjust-

ments section of this manual

Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing is attached to tractor.

o Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing

performance. See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in

the Service and Adjustments section of this manual

° Use the runner on the right hand side of mower as a

guide The blade cuts approximately an inch outside the runner (See Fig 8),

o 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

machine. 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 weL 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.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig. 33) Tile carburetor has been present at the factory and adjust-

ment should not be necessary However, minor adjustment

may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load If the carburetor does need adjustment, proceed as follows:

In general, turning the adjusting needles in (clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner

fuel/air mixture, Turning the adjusting needles out (coun- terclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine

giving a richer fuel/air mixture

IMPORTANT: DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLES AND THE SEATS IN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS

TURNED IN TOO TIGHT

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

Be sure you have a clean air filter, and the throttle control cable is adjusted properly (see "TO ADJUST

THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual)

With engine off turn idle fuel adjusting needle in (clock- wise) closing it finger tight and then turn out (counter- clockwise) 1 turn

FINAL SETTING -

Start engine and allow to warm for' five minutes. Make final adjustments with engine running and shift/motion control lever in neutral (N) position

The high idle is set at the factory and cannot be adjusted.

Idle speed setting - With throttle control lever in slow (_) position, engine should idle at 1200 RPM If

engine idles too slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting screw in or out until correct idle is attained.

Idle fuel needle setting - With throttle control lever in slow (,,_.) position, turn idle fuel adjusting needle in

(clockwise) until engine speed decreases and then turn out (counterclockwise) approximately 3/4 turn to

obtain the best low speed performance. Recheck idle speed. Readjust if necessary

ACCELERATION TEST -

o Move throttle control lever from slow (_) to fast ("_)

position. If engine hesitates or' dies, turn idle fuel adjusting needle out (counterclockwise) 1/8 turn. Re-

peat test and continue to adjust, if necessary, until engine accelerates smoothly

High speed stop is factory adjusted Do not adjust-damage may resulL

IMPORTANT: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE GOVERNOR, WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER ENGINE SPEED OVERSPEEDINGTHEENGINEABOVE

STORAGE

Immediately prepare your tractor for storage at the end of

the season or if the tractor will not be used for 30 days or more.

CAUTION: Never store the tractor with

gasoline in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open flame

or spark. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

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

• Clean entire tractor (See"CLEANING"in the Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).

o Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re-

placement instructions in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

• Lubricate as shown in the Customer Responsibilities

section of this manual.

° Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely

fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage and wear. Replace if necessary

• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand

lightly before painting

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 storage, battery cables should be disconnected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see "TO

CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS" in the Cus- tomer Responsibilities section of this manual).

After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place cables where they cannot come in contact with battery

terminals

° Be sure battery drain tube is securely attache& = If battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not

store battery directly on concrete or clamp surfaces

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL

SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER,

FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE. ALSO, 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

o Drain the fuel tank

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 or 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 stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do

not drain the gas tank and carburetor ifusing 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 o Remove spark plug(s)

Pour one ounce of oi! through spark plug hole(s) into

cylinder(s)

° Turn ignition key to "START" position form 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 wil! cause problems. if possible, store your tractor indoors and cover it to

give protection from dust and dirt.

° Cover yourtractor with a suitable protective cover that

does not retain moisture Do not use plastic. Plastic

cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and wilt cause your tractor to rust,

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM
