The cuttingheight is controlledby turning the height adjust- ment knob in desired direction_

- Turn knob clockwise (f-_) to raise cutting height,

• Turn knob counterclockwise (P_)to lower cutting

height.

The cutting height range is approximately 1-1/4" to 4-1/2"o 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, 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.

ADD GASOLINE

= Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded

gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane.. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase carbon and lead oxide deposits

and reduce valve life)o Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30

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 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.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 6)

When starting engine for the firsttime or ifengine 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 motion control lever in neutral (N) position. ° Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position.

• Pull choke controt out to choke (1\I) position for cold engine start. For warm engine start do not use choke

control.

• Move throttle controlto midway between fast (,_) and slow (,II) positions°

• lnsert key into ignitionand turn keyclockwise to"START" positionand 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

PURGE TRANSMISSION

CAUTION: Never engage or disengage

IA...........

To ensure proper operation and performance, it is recom- mended that the transmission be purged before operating

tractor for the first time+ This procedure will remove any trapped air inside the transmission which may have devel-

oped during shipping of your tractor. IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION REQUIRE

REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT SHOULD BE PURGED AFTER RE1NSTALLATION

BEFORE OPERATING THE TRACTOR.

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

• Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in freewheeling position (See 'q"O TRANSPORT" in

this section of manual).

• Sitting tnthetractor seat, startengine+ Afterthe engine is running, move throttle control to slow (,il) position. With motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly

disengage clutch/brake pedal.

° Move motion control lever to full forward position and

hold for five (5) seconds. Move lever to full reverse position and hold for five (5) seconds° Repeat this

procedure three (3) times.

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

system+

• Move motion control leverto neutral (N)position° Shut- off engine and set parking brake.

° Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in

driving position (See "TO TRANSPORT" in this section of manual).

° Sitting inthetractor seat, startengine. Aftertheengine

is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed.

With motion control lever inneutral (N) position, slowly disengage clutcPvbrake pedal.

° Slowly move motion control lever forward, after the

tractor moves approximately five (5) feet, slowly move

motion control lever to reverse position. After the

tractor moves approximately five(5) feet return the

ning.

MOWING TIPS

° Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing

is attached to tractor.

• 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)_

• The teft hand side of mower should be used for+trim- ming+

° Drive so that ctippings are discharged onto the area

that has been cut. Have the cut area to the rightof the tractor. 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 tums until

finished (See Fig..11).

f .................

FIG. 11

• 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 wet. Wet grass wilt 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 welt 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.

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM

DEPOSITS FROM FORMING 1N ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTSSUCH 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.

• Drain the fuel tank,

• Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and

carburetorare empty.

° Never useengine or carburetor cteaner products inthe

fuel tank or permanent damage may occur_

° Use fresh fuel next season. NOTE: Fuet 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 stabUizer_

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engin_ oil. (See "ENGINE" in the Customer Responsibilitie.,

section of this manuat).
